Bathroom half way point...

So on Monday, I had it with our bathroom. I was cleaning the bottom of the toilet and almost puked because of the "stains" that are left when individuals miss! I literally could not take the carpet in the bathroom any longer. Problem is, the carpet is glued down to linoleum. I tried several methods to get the carpet to pull up, fabric softener and hot water, WD-40, Goof off, and soaking it in hot water. I was using a hand scraper and my hands were shot! It wasn't until Reo came home and showed me the amazing ice picker that we have! I soon found that our wallpaper steamer works amazing to pull up the glue with the ice scraper! It went so quick after that but we still had the glue residue. Yuck! I found some stuff at Home Depot that is adhesive remover. This was found in the flooring department near the glue that you would use to put floor down with. We also decided to rip out the wallpaper! Yrs the beautiful seashells from 1970 was coming down! That made me very very happy!

Here is the before pic. 

There is part of the carpet gone! 

Here's my hunny taking down stuff off the walls

Of course Kenley got involved

Painting! Woooohooo! Kenley picked out the color! Oceanus! Love it!




 No we are not leaving the pink counter top or that vanity! As soon as we officially close on the house we will start the demo of the vanity, add another sink, update lighting, get a new toilet, and flooring of course! But I don't have to look at stains on the carpet any longer! And that makes me so so happy! Here is a pic of our flooring now.
