Some things such as electrical & plumbing should be hired out to licensed contractors for reasons of safety.
It's difficult to describe how terrible this 'fix' is with discordant patterns, styles, etc. Surely even a first time fixer can see that saving a few dollars on plumbing to plop down a poorly thought out repurposed old chest of drawers ("island" per the homeowner) in the middle of the bathroom doorway is poor design & function. Add to that the flanking columns with non-GFCI outlets within an inch of each of the woedully undersized sinks and the worst grout work I've ever seen where they appear to have piped on some kind of inappropriate material between the bricks as they demonstrated doing using a plastic zipper food storage bag between the slate floor tiles.
Clearly they live in an area where inspections are not required as not even the loosest of building codes would allow these. This would be a dangerous place to live and severely limit it's resale value.
As for the design, if they are pleased to live in and show off their handiwork then I guess they're living their dream.
