You know, brushed and satin nickel are SO PLAYED! Nothing will scream "early 2000's" like these finishes. I roll my eyes whenever I see someone putting it in a new kitchen or bathroom. Oil-rubbed bronze is only slightly less lame and played. It is as "old-fashioned" as those "antiqued brass" finishes of the 1980's. On the other hand, polished nickel is gorgeous and its sheen and color evoke sterling silver. Polished copper is also lovely, as long as it isn't too fakely glossy looking. I look forward to these gleaming finishes becoming mainstream enough to be able to purchase it at big box store prices. Brass is a classic, and if used right, can be very attractive, as is evident in many photos featured on this Apartment Therapy website. Any metal finish, if used stupidly, will look stupid and dated.

Hi. I don't have this trash can, but I've always wanted one, and hope my friends and family chip in on one for me for a shower present.
A. Of course, you should always flush solid poopy down the toilet, whether you use cloth or disposable diapers.
B. They make flushable liners that are excellent to use when you have a baby with less-than-solid poopy, ie. a newborn or breastfed baby, or a kid with diarrhea.
C. Plastic absorbs odors. This is true of fleece diaper-covers as well as plastic-buckets/liners in otherwise steel cans.
D. Anything you can use for multiple babies, or after baby doesn't need it for baby-needs, is a good investment. One less made-in-China plastic-piece-of-junk for the landfill.
Other examples would be: Stokke Tripp-Trapp chairs, which can be used for a baby high chair, toddler seat, kid seat, adult chair, counter stool. They hold 300 lbs., so they're a lifetime investment.
Cloth diapers, especially pre-folds and Australian nappies, which I only recommend for after baby's poop has become solid, rather than squishy and sticky. They are able to be passed on to future babies, they wash and dry quickly, and make fantastic rags.
