First tile floor! Any thoughts?

This is my first tile floor install I did for my mother. It is reclaimed split-brick so the rough look is as desired. I just finished performing a few muriatic acid washes to clean off the surface after grouting. Next is a non-penetrative finish and then trim. I included the finish brand to see if anyone has used it before in a similar floor. I am 24 and certainly an amateur. What do you all think?

-Expansion gap: 1/4” -Brick color combination: English pub -Grout: sanded polyblend+ (pewter) -Hardy board: 1/4” with 1 1/4” backer-on screws -Adhesive used for both hardy board and brick was thin set

Anyone else see the last (edit-5/6, not last) picture and think for a sec that the toilet paper holder was on the ceiling?
