Hi pepeuve, Welcome to the team of non English speakers!!!!

tye said: Hello, I have been mulching every leaf that falls, back into the lawn. Mulching every leaf? Boy, that must take a lot of time. I'd wait until they all fall off the tree and then mulch them all at once. :o) I have a huge hickory tree and after I first had the sod laid down, I kept raking up all the nuts. I think that is probably appropriate for brand new sod. Since then I let the nuts stay where they fall figuring they'd just turn into organic matter. If I see an occasional pile of them I'll pick them up. What happened in the ensuing couple of years is that the squirrel brigade came by and ate most of them, leaving only broken shells. In the spring I only find occasional evidence of last fall's shells.

Sorry guys - I deleted my comment within a minute or two because I realized that my post made no sense. I couldn't see the OP because it was unanswered and on the second page. When I posted, it popped up to the top and then I saw it. Sorry for the confusion.

Your bathroom has a lovely base. It’s also natural to hyperventilate and have doubts/regret when you’re at this stage; it’s not decorated/done. You will nit-pick over things now that you won’t care about or remember in 6mo; it happens. I honestly don’t see a reason to fire a designer. For me, two things stand out: Unlike the inspiration pic, someone chose standard shower glass rather than low iron glass. That choice is perfectly fine, but it alters the aesthetic when you have light colored shower tile. I’m surprised there’s no tile or beadboard tub surround. I guarantee there will be some wall splashes…even when careful. Here’s my new bathroom (no designer - just me). I love it, but I freaked out over the initial plainness, over my floors being “too white”, etc, etc, until I brought in texture and color. (Photos taken with dusky / overcast natural light. Porcelain marble-look tile and low-iron glass.) Go back to the ”feel” you wanted to achieve. Reflect on the color(s) that speak to you. You can do this.
