I agree with the grey/blue being the best color! I feel a sage green would almost be too light for the countertop and the different colors in the floor and counter.

The point is.. the original posting had good ideas for people WANTING to plan such a party or if they have these issues in their lives. JESUS. If you don't care to host such a gathering... don't read the post and don't comment. It doesn't pertain to you.

There is so much Negative talk and people being rude.

I guess if I were going to someone's house for dinner - I would mention to them my allergies before hand, so they would not think i was rude later if I did not eat certain things and so it could be understood. And maybe depending on what is being cooked, I would have to bring my own food, help make a dish or bring some bread or dessert, or plan to eat after or before the dinner.

However, this original post seems to be more about Birthday Parties and gatherings for children when many kids have these allergies. Or it seems to be a party for a child who has such allergies - So making labeled wrappers around your cupcakes makes more sense. It is thinking of the child that the party is for, and making THEM feel more comfortable and "normal." It seems to be a post for parties where allergies are a focus, not random dinner gatherings.

And for someone who posted repeatedly about "this is my home where REAL people live and REAL people... " People with allergies aren't real and normal? What is with all this rude and disrespectfulness. For all these rude comments, You have no empathy and I wouldn't care to be your friend or have dinner at your home. Weird.

More processed foods. It isn't that people are strange or imagine such things... Over years, people have stopped eating less natural/raw things and eat more processed foods full of processed forms of corn, egg, soy and other ingredients. It is messing our bodies up. Well, that is just one cause.. But the foods you mentioned have been the top allergens for quite some time.

I believe of course it was an iron board closet originally.. I know this is boring and not anything too showy or different - but I would use it as a broom closet. That was my first thought. Nothing exciting, but... I never know where to put my broom, mop, dust pan. You don't ever want those ugly things out in the open, why not have the perfect fitting space for them? Then they'd take up less of your closet space where you can put coats, etc.
