uhhh, i'm kinda crazy about the green bathroom floor.
Me too! Desire!
Or you could just replace the floor properly with a renewable material such as linoleum or cork - it's really not that expensive or difficult.
Linoleum is as expensive as hardwood these days at $5 sqft. Puhleeze! we went with VCT to get that vintage look, though not so eco happy. At .62 cents sqft it was sooo worth it.

Presumably not intended for kitchen or bathroom floors but, if looting preferences during the Tottenham riot are anything to go by, carpeting is making a comeback in London...
"Linoleum is as expensive as hardwood these days at $5 sqft."
I've found it online for as little as $3.40/sq foot - and most bathrooms and kitchens arent' that large, so you could get away with under $100 for a nice sized bathroom, or $300 for an average kitchen.
...and sheet vinyl costs even less.
I thought you were going to call that green bathroom floor ugly. I love it, and the purple ?bathmat?
LOVE that shiny,shiny! What is it?
I like the gold glitter, too!
$3.40/sq foot + installation is still on the expensive side of flooring! Linoleum is is tricky to lay and according to locals there aren't many who do it any more.
