I see you added an outlet at the toilet for a bidet. Good idea.
In the one picture, it looks like there was an old medicine cabinet that has your screwdrivers. To the right of the screwdrivers, there’s a metal box, which I’m guessing is a J box. if this was new construction, they wouldn’t allow that to be covered up.

Great observation! Yes, the wall tiles have a wave pattern in them. My wife has an excellent eye for design and colors and I am good at grunt work. She selected the tiles, textures and colors. The outlet near the toilet is for a potential future bidet.
That area where the screwdrivers were was an old medicine cabinet. It does have a J box, which I covered and does not conform to code. I ultimately hired a friend who is an electrician when I determined my skills, knowledge and experience were short. He wired everything for me and made the same comment about covering the box.
I was disgusted as to the quality of the home build back in 1984. I found plastic fittings contained in the walls, copper piping that had been bent into a kink instead of using a pre-curved one, the wiring connections were loose, etc. I corrected all of the issues and also added quite a bit of stud blocking so I can add a grab bar in the shower area in the future as I age. I placed a measuring tape near the blocking and photographed it for my remodel folder so I can reference the exact location at a later date.
It's amazing what one can learn from YouTube!
