I love this list - Do you have anything that keeps dust at bay? My house attracts dust even though I clean and dust everyday, my plants get dusty. Could it be from the fireplace? Wow, I got a little off subject didn't I...Sorry about that, I just started thinking of adding more plants inside then thought of more dusting!
