Bathroom - no shower older style tub- buy a shower kit for 6-7 hundred bucks or replace everything with new tube and shower (I am replacing sink and toilet)Living room - has carpet that I admit has been their a while (my whole live) but my parents never walked on it they had plastic runners and carpet down over the carpet to protect it all these years.
