I am also going with the masses too and saying that I think the tiles you have now look great!

Wish I was so lucky to have this kind of storage in my bathroom.
I too really like the look of open storage shelves, as long as they are kept tidy. I think keeping the shelves the way they are and adding a interesting wallpaper behind the shelves could look wonderful. If you really want some closed storage, a tension rod and curtain could be your way to go. You could have that covering the bottom two shelves, and keep the rest open too. The world is your oyster!

I like the idea of being comfortable with your neighbors enough to simply just talk to them before acting in an aggressive, or passive aggressive manner. I recently moved to a small historical complex with only 8 units. I love the fact that I know all of my neighbors, including the people working in the two shops below me. This makes it so that we all feel comfortable in telling each other to hush up when need be, and it's simply just nice to have a relationship with our neighbors.

To get rid of the moth larva and eggs in your clothing...
In the museum world we put the infested item in a plastic bag and tie it shut. Then you put it in the freezer for 48 hrs-take it out of the freezer (but still in the bag for 24 hours), and then put it back in the freezer for another 48hrs. It's the 48-24-48 non-chemical way to kill many bugs and their larva and eggs. The first freeze kills all initial larva and then stimulates the rest of the eggs to hatch when thawed. So the 24hrs in between is to allow the rest of the larva to hatch (this could cause more damage to your clothing i suppose) and then the second 48hrs should kill the rest of the newly hatched larva. This also could be other bugs like above comments have mention, ie. carpet beetles or silverfish. The freezing method should work for those insects as well.

But as mentioned above you have to get rid of them from your closet/dresser as well or they will come back to haunt you. I suppose you could stick your whole dresser maybe in a walk in freezer???
