Came to echo Marianne / Bird and Feather's comment.
I think unless you live in a semi-tropical locale, simply misting your air plants won't cut it. I live in the cold dry prairies (with plenty of drying forced-air heat) and my florist told me to dunk them in a bowl of water for 30 min to overnight once or twice a week. A bit troublesome, but it seems to be doing the trick and I love their look.

We still use a good old fashioned paper calendar in the kitchen for writing down parties and appointments in a place where we can both see it. Unfortunately none of these calendars would allow us to write anything on a specific date.

A network in the condo I used to live in was called Pornographer Only. Made me chuckle every time I saw it.

Clicked on this post for some inspiration but also ended up scoffing at these prices. Open shelving requires MULTIPLE matching/complimentary containers. Can you imagine buying $38 jars for your flour, sugar, coffee, cornstarch, baking soda, oats.......etc? Bahahahaha...

One 'Pro' to add to the Laser list: you can highlight your text without the ink smearing. I splurged on a laser printer during university as I had to print off a lot of reading material and that was a huge advantage.

Lovely kitchen! The fridge is an amazing colour, but I couldn't stomach the thought of the word SMEG plastered across something that holds my food. Ugh.

As a general "Before and After" rule, it's nice to take a post-reno shot from the same perspective as the Before shot.

Love the contest idea but I'm not sure what the 'small' cut-off is. For example, while lovely, the 3rd kitchens in rows 2 and 3 would qualify as pretty good sized in my books.
