BATHROOM PICTURES!

this is the bathroom in my bedroom....the color scheme is the same as my bedroom...actually the the curtains in the shower are the curtains that came with the bedding set i got when i first moved in, but I didn't want that big ass curtain in my bedroom so i decided to use it in the shower instead to give the bathroom some color...








this is the main bathroom....i've always had just navy in there....navy shower curtain and navy trash can and toothbrush holder...i wanted a little color even though i'm not thrilled with the big polka dots...but i still like it...

7/8/2008 9:05:15 AM

Soak blinds?

7/8/2008 9:06:10 AM

yeah, you soak them in bleach/water to get them white again.

7/8/2008 9:06:50 AM

^^yes...they get dirty...you clean them...

the easiest way to do that is to soak them in the tub...


it's fast and effective

^exactly


however....they are metal instead of vinyl...so when we soaked them the paint started coming off....so i had to replace a few of them...

next time i will throw those bitches away and replace them all with vinyl

7/8/2008 9:07:07 AM

you clean blinds?

7/8/2008 9:07:21 AM

they get dirty just like everything else...

actually they probably get dirtier because they never really get cleaned

7/8/2008 9:09:11 AM

I guess. I just don't guess I notice / care.

7/8/2008 9:10:58 AM

you must have a rental

7/8/2008 9:11:37 AM

and he's a man...

if you guys noticed/cared about stuff like that you wouldn't need us

7/8/2008 9:12:06 AM

you don't really care about the little shit like that until you own your place.

7/8/2008 9:13:09 AM

7/8/2008 9:13:23 AM

^^also true

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 9:14 AM. Reason : ^why so sad]

7/8/2008 9:13:46 AM

shit, when I lived in my apartment I think I only vacuumed like 5 times the whole time i lived there

7/8/2008 9:14:25 AM

haha...nice

well...i used my Bissell Spot Bot the other day and it's amazing...

however....it's a spot cleaner....so now i'm aware of just how nasty the rest of my floor is because i have clean spots all around the house surrounded by dingy carpet


i'm going to borrow a steam cleaner from a lady back home an do the entire house soon

correct, and I've moved 5 times since 2003 . . . so I'm sure that makes a difference.


I kinda like not having my own place.

7/8/2008 9:16:52 AM

I can't even pick a place to start to explain what's going on.

So sad faces for now.

I still give kissey faces though

7/8/2008 9:21:07 AM

and i've been in this house since 2002 and they haven't been cleaned since i've been there...

they were new when i moved in

OMG, those things are THE SHIT! I could not have gotten through housebreaking my dog without one. I can't see how any pet owner does not own one of these.

7/8/2008 9:22:42 AM

I would worry less about turning 30 than about being excited about a vacuum cleaner if I were you

7/8/2008 9:23:45 AM

^ trust me, you'll be there to 1 day

7/8/2008 9:25:08 AM

wow, how the hell did that happen?

7/8/2008 9:25:49 AM

I guess you're so used to responding to me in this thread

7/8/2008 9:26:58 AM

5^

you're crazy....i got all sorts of excited when i got my Rainbow vacuum cleaner a few years ago

7/8/2008 9:27:56 AM

yeah, but you have a vagina.

7/8/2008 9:29:45 AM

an immaculate vagina apparently

And I would recomend getting a shampooer not a steam cleaner. Smampooers do a much better job, especially when it comes to removing smells.

7/8/2008 9:30:58 AM

I'm thinking about buying a townhouse while I'm in Alabama, but I just don't know if I'm ready to invest that kind of energy into keeping a place clean.

7/8/2008 9:33:25 AM

well my carpet isn't smelly


it may be a shampooer....i don't know...

i just know it's something that will clean the carpet and hopefully make the rest of the carpet match the newly cleaned spots i have now

7/8/2008 9:33:34 AM

Speaking of vacuums, here is the badass mother I bought a couple months ago:

when i rented i cleaned like

when a new girl i liked or my parents were comming over

now that i own

i'm all anal about cleaning every week at the least

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 9:44 AM. Reason : ^ive got some face cream for you?]

7/8/2008 9:44:06 AM

i didn't say didn't get a facial this morning...

so you cleaned...what...every 3 days?

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 9:47 AM. Reason : asdfd]

7/8/2008 9:46:09 AM

IM SO AROUSSSSSSSSSSST

7/8/2008 9:47:09 AM

you take more pride in your place when you own it. Shit, I don't even own my house, but since it is a house in a nice neighborhood i kind of feel like I do. I clean it every weekend, take care of the lawn, etc etc.

7/8/2008 9:48:20 AM

^^on the edit

SICK BURN

but when they only make it to the living room floor, you only gotta clean the foyer and the living room k

7/8/2008 9:48:27 AM

Yeah I don't see my cleaning habits changing drastically.

1) I'm lazy
2) I'll be pretty busy.

but who knows.

7/8/2008 9:48:46 AM

yeah you see

im busy as fuck

but something about realizing i could do one room a day for 15 minutes when i got home after i took the dog out while she was eating that kinda justifies it

7/8/2008 9:50:02 AM

i even make the dog stay off the couches and bed now. he hates me for it, too. but i know that little nigga gets up on the couches when I am not home.

7/8/2008 9:50:10 AM

^^^^true...

i've never done it on a living room floor now that i think about it...

i've done it on my bedroom floor at my apartment because...well...i won't go into detail...on that

and i did it on the bedroom floor at my brother's house because the bed was squeaky and i didn't want him to know what i was doing...


i think those are the only two times i've ever done it on a floor

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 9:50 AM. Reason : sdfg]

7/8/2008 9:50:30 AM

yeah, buying a baller new bed / bedroom set made me kick that hobag off the bed too

7/8/2008 9:50:56 AM

yeah...this dog that's chilling at my house now thinks she's entitled to the guest bed since she's a guest....

she waits until i'm sleeping or in the shower and goes and lays down on the bed....


she has her own recliner too....but chooses the couch...but it's the same color she is so you can't see the dog hair

7/8/2008 9:53:08 AM

Hmmm I'm trying to figure out how to get my dog to sleep on the floor beside my bed instead of up on the bed with me.

She loves to cuddle with me though

7/8/2008 9:53:44 AM

that vacuum cleaner I bought is the first thing I have found that can get my dog's hair off of the microfiber couch. It has this kick ass rotating apoulsty (sp.) cleaner.

7/8/2008 9:55:04 AM

upholstery I think

7/8/2008 9:55:43 AM

apoulsty

7/8/2008 9:56:00 AM

ngr that's a long word and you only got a few letters right

7/8/2008 9:58:46 AM

whatever dude, real men should not be able to spell apoulsty

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 10:00 AM. Reason : and I ain't editing that shit neither]

well played sir, but you're the one talking about a carpet shampooer vs a steam cleaner in this thread
