peeling wallpaper dirty bathroom
The room needed some tlc. wallpaper peeled off the ceiling. It looked like a toddler attacked it. there was no air-conditioning, and i swear i saw my reflection shimmering from the heat. the bathroom looked like it fought a war and lost. It just seemed tired and not particularly clean.
