This is a pretty regular thing here to have a shower head coming out from the wall. All the floors have drains. Luckily, this is our second bath so we never use this shower.
Our kitchen. We have fruits and veggies scattered everywhere drying. It's a process to have everything washed the right way so we can can eat it.

Full bathroom. Notice the Sponge Bob Square Pants bathmat? It's the most decent one we could find.
Our room. Just off the full bath. "Pretty dang exciting, hu?"
