Thanks for the compliment & the read. Our house is from around the 40′s. I know exactly how you feel. I had a blah skin color on our walls before the green. Not wanting my skin to blend into my walls is what prompted us to paint them the pop of color they are now. As a matter of fact I think the skin color we had on our walls was called Harvest Gold. We painted them Jalapeno Jelly by Valspar (@ Lowe’s).

As for the floor…we just use water and vinegar. One part vinegar to two parts water. We use a mop and bucket for the job. Just mop the floors with the mixture in a 5×5 ft area then take a dry towel and use your foot to dry the area. The vinegar cuts through grease and helps reduce odors. The best part is it’s virtually free (minus a huge bottle of vinegar you can buy on the cheap), and green.

The floors look great…if you have any secrets to keeping them clean that do not require me to get on my hands and knees, let me know
