I never ever thought of baby poo as a color until I looked at #5 and then I see someone else had already mentioned it. Yep, white it is for me and yes, bright white!

Poor cat!

We had the tall ones in science lab.

For me, a collection would be considered collecting globes for instance.
Or a specific genre.
Those I display...

Hide.
I like the clean look of drawers and door fronts.
(I could never life with open shelving in the kitchen, for instance.)
The only stuff I like displayed is artwork and funky finds that are considered treasures.
I really don't like the way DVDs and CDs look when displayed.
My bookshelves tend to be turned away from the viewer so you have to go looking for the books. As they're not used all the time I don't need them to be prevalent.
I like the challenge of finding useful things to keep my stuff in.
That's just me.

OMG, there's a lot going on in that family but super mom keeps it all together with a wonderful team of husband, kids and her mom and sisters. I'm amazed by their I Love Lucy project and the way it has changed their lives. Incredibly inspiring and really shows what love can do. The room is great...big bro deserves his own space with clean and fresh colors. Nice work, Team Shawni!

BAY LEAVES.
Better than the pheromone traps but I use both in conjunction just to be safe.
The bay leaves wiped out the moths permanently in my mother's cupboard after the pheromone traps worked somewhat.
Slightly crush the bay leaves (5-6 works) with your hand.
I put them in a stainless steel parmesan cheese shaker so the scent would waft and they're be no spills.
I refresh the bay leaves once every 1-2 years.
I've been using them for 5 years now.

I'm in the keep-the-mircrowave-put-it-on-a-separate-cart camp.
I'm all in favor of the use and look of an empty counter but I do have occasional use for it and won't let mine go.
I'd prefer a small utility table over a cart but you get the idea.
In this situation there's plenty of space for said table.
Just my own two cents.

No chemicals for me, ever, nada.
Only use maple syrup in my coffee, 1 tsp.
Occasionally honey.
Agave half and half with sugar for baking.
No sweeteners added to my grapefruit, smoothies, etc.
Never sodas of any kind.
I wouldn't touch that chemical stuff with a ten foot pole.

I see the knives and the stove top on the other side of the island...what's the worry? I'd like to give credit to the parents for taking all the safety issues into consideration.
