The Carpeted Bathroom

When I bought my house in 2008, both bathrooms had wall-to-wall carpet. It looked fairly new. It was the first thing to go, at least in the main bathroom (and the smaller one eventually). Sure, it looked good, and you did not slip on it, but the potential for mold and worse gave me the heebie-jeebies. Besides, you can avoid slipping with a small bath mat that you can throw in the washer. As soon as the last kid left for college, we got rid of all the carpet. (via Boing Boing)
