Susan N Scott Thanks for the article & photos. Love all white!!! One of our bathrooms is cottage style: all white, with beadboard and very easy to add pops of color seasonally. Best cleaning solution I've found so far without burning your nostrils & eyes with bleach: heat up vinegar and pour into spray bottle, add Dawn dish soap, shake, spray and let let set 20 minutes or so. Wipe down for the whitest white and shiniest surface ever.

Eva Kiran When is the right time to go to High Point N. Carolina to get some good deals on furniture.

hopingtogetfit Recently repainted our walls with BM's Ballet White (and Dove White in a few other rooms). I am absolutely in LOVE with both whites, especially the Ballet White, which has a slight gray undertone. It looks like a soft linen color. My wood floors, furniture, artwork and accessories now stand out so much better.

aiga I used bright closet to add a color to my son's room. The room feels completely different now.

Rick Frame Polycarbonate and fiberglass might not be a good choice for edible plants -- Polycarbonate is plasticized with Bisphenol-A and fiberglass is made with epoxy resins, meaning that toxic chemicals can be leached from the container into the plants, and into your food supply.

Steve Masley Consulting and Design Plastics leach very little into soils, unless they're strongly acidic (or alkaline)--too acidic or alkaline to grow vegetables. Most of what does leach is flushed out when water runs down the sides of the pot. And then there's the matter of root uptake of toxins. While some plants to concentrate toxic metals--ferns, for instance, concentrate lead--there's very little evidence they take up more complex molecules like Bisphenol-A or epoxy resins.
