I'm not big on bright colors usually, but I instantly thought to myself this looks like a loving and fun house with loving positive people that live there. Wonderful, just wonderful. :)

Bed on the floor* LOL

Garlic as a toxin to dogs is in debate (however, quit toxic for cats). Garlic in small amounts can help combat fleas and worms. At a high dosage it can/may cause blood cell issues/disease in certain breeds. Vets have been unable to determine what dosage exactly results in the blood cell issues. Most of your dog's food and treats have a small dosage of garlic in them which most vets say is harmless in such a small amount.

As for my experience, my grandfather use to give a small clove of garlic to our dogs (when I was younger) to help prevent and combat fleas. Most of our dogs lived to ripe old ages of 14-17 (one even lived to 20) years of age (I say most cause we had a 2-3 killed by cars). I have one dog now, I give him garlic maybe 2 to 3 times a year, if that. I mostly make sure I bath him in an all natural shampoo to keep the fleas away. He is completely healthy. XD

I did visit Whole Foods today looking for a SLS and Paraben Free Shampoo (as I have noticed a decrease in the health of my hair and I am trying to change my lifestyle to natural products as possible). I took a look at the Kiss My Face, Aubrey, and Burts Bees, but ultimately went with another SLS and Paraben Free brand I found there called Avalon Organics. I got the Nourishing Lavender Shampoo and the Strengthening Peppermint Conditioner. Also I am going to try to reduce my washings to 3 times a week (hard to go lower when I work with animals and get rather dirty). I will see how it goes and report back after using. If anyone else has tried this brand please let me know how you liked (or disliked) it.

Television. Actually there is no TV in the whole house, I find television to be useless. I try to limit working or computers in the bedroom, but sometimes studying is just more comfy while in bed, especially during late night study sessions before tests.

idkmybffjas - Thank You very much, out of all the comments, your comment was most useful.

Everyone - I believe I should have explained further. She does not own the house, it is a rental, I will be paying for half of rent and utilities. As I do and will continue to work 40-60 hours a week and go to school at night (and online courses). I was asking about style/design questions on how she could keep her knick knacks but perhaps ideas for displaying them instead of them being scattered everywhere. Also very big note to point out, my mother asked me to move in with her to help both of us out as she is having difficultly paying for everything in this economy and I agreed as along as I could continue my plans to return to school. Also to be frank....I am more of a house keeper then my mother. XDD

I would just like the say I am of Native American decent, but I still do not believe that has anything to do with the fact that I like dreamcatchers. My mother bought me one for my eighteenth birthday at a pow wow she had attended. I don't see my dreamcatcher as "decor" it hangs over my bed and whether spiritual or psychological, it helps me sleep a little better each night even after having it for almost 10 years. I can't believe people cannot even respect others choice and what they want to hang over their beds....childish.

Well my style is more minimalism and modernism with touches of color. My ex's style was dark-as in black everything (some dark blues) and reds (I hate red). I tried to covert to his style and colors....however after we broke up I realized his love of black was also his mood - dark and mean. (not saying black is mean, I actually love black & white decor). I brightened up my place since the break up and feel so much better :)

I am a dog groomer (and uni. student lol) and I own 1 dog (babysitting mom's cat for a month while she moves). I am allergic to the cat, he is long hair himalayan, but do not seem to be allergic to the cat at work who is short haired. I have HORRIBLE allergies. The key is finding which breed of dog is less likely to cause allergy issues for your bf. Like me, he might not be allergic to the hair itself, but to the pet dander. And each dog (and cat) has different dander. For example, I am allergic to golden retriever dander but not spaniel breeds (I have a spaniel). Also there are some breeds that produce less hair and/or less dander. German Pinchers, for example, are very low shedding dogs but kinda hard to find one. Labradoodles, while not an actual registered breed are good dogs for allergy surfers that love dogs. Just do your research on the breeds and you should be able to find one that would work. (also if you are allergic to an animal, do not touch her face after petting them...that is the number one cause of allergic eye reactions.)
