What I found worked the best was 40% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a little ammonia (it smelled like hair bleach). Hope that helps!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183168966431701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-9274411038793939702017-10-10T12:56:02.913-04:002017-10-10T12:56:02.913-04:00Can you explain in more detail what actually worke...Can you explain in more detail what actually worked to get the stains out of the marble.

Regarding your questio...Thanks for the kind words! Regarding your question, when I first started, I was very cautious on colors, patterns, etc. But as I've done more houses, I've gotten more bold. Most things that I go bold on are easy to change. The new owners can repaint the front door color or strip wallpaper in a tiny bathroom. But I've found that they usually like what's there and keep it! So for this bathroom, the antique sink it pretty cool. But coupled with the antique toothbrush wallpaper?? It's a wow!

Love your blog and think you are so talented. ...Hi! Love your blog and think you are so talented. Just curious. That wall paper- it's so unique and expensive. Being that you sell the houses, aren't you concerned about keeping something like wallpaper more neutral/generic? I work with someone who flips houses (not the same as yours I get that), but I know that the resale is always a thought when making decisions. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for such a great blog!
