Bathroom Mania

So I've been reading a lot of blogs lately, and feeling very inadequate as a blogger, so I figured I should post a couple of pictures to prove that I have, in fact, done a few things in my house since I bought it. Tragically, I lost a lot of pictures when my phone's sd card was "damaged" (which makes me want to use some very specific curse words, but I will refrain).

So here it be:

Downstairs bathroom:

 

Upstairs bathroom:

 And in other news, I have made some headway on the stains in the carpet in my dining room, something which I never in my wildest dreams thought would happen. I found the solution on Pinterest (where all problems go to be solved). You just mix 2 parts hydrogen peroxide to 1 part Dawn dish soap (I used blue, but I assume any Dawn would work). Then I sprayed it on the stains and left it for a few hours. Then I came back and scrubbed it a bit. Then I basically forgot about it for a couple of days and was surprised when I came back to find that it actually, really, seriously (no crap) worked. Mind=Blown. These stains are who knows how many years old! I still plan on putting in new carpet eventually because green isn't really my fave and it definitely won't go with the wallpaper I have chosen, but at least this way I can leave it for a while and not be totally humiliated whenever anyone comes to visit me. 

This is the difference after one application (I'll probably have to give it another go). Please note I didn't squirt the magic amazingness on ALL the stains, just the big, obvious ones.

 Well, I'll be go to hell! (that is what my dad says).

In other news, I have planted a bunch of flowers all over the place and I shall endeavor to take pictures when they are more than just "meh" looking. 

Until then,

Always,

Becky
