- So happy with how this half moon cabinet turned out. It's truly the perfect spot for all my skulls!
By the way, if you haven't seen yet, CZcams gave me the ability to make a membership option for the channel. Wooo! If you sign up you get access to videos at least one day early, behind the scenes updates, my undying love & more. Also, it's like kitchen crunch time and you'll be the first to see my new island and countertops. Ahhhh!! Check that out here - www.youtube.com/@kaylahstroup...

You cabinet looks amazing, of course. Your dad is a gem. I have been following you for years and remember when your mother passed away (I am so, so sorry). What an amazing memory to have of her during your wedding trip .
Thank you!!! 💖 Getting married was rad but getting to take a huge roadtrip with my parents was seriously the icing on the cake. I am SO thankful we were able to do that (and that I got to bring some cool souvenirs.)
Girl you and your husband NEED to take a road trip to a goodwill bins, you would find so many awesome things for the house! I’m restoring a home in Maine and we have found good vintage hardware, bedding, books you name it!
The cabinet having the round glass intact was worth the $60 and more! So many of these type are missing one of the glass panes, great find!
Right!? I totally agree! Its such fragile glass too. I basically held my breath the entire drive home hoping it wouldnt just explode every pothole!
I love your story telling about how you acquired your items. You and your father did an amazing job on the shelves. Your display looks perfect in your beautiful cabinet. ❤️
Thank you so much!
You could try museum wax to keep the tiny skulls in place!
How beautiful that came out👌love your work, love seeing you with your dad💚💚you compliment each other. Love your home so much, your 1/2 bath came out amazing🎉and the stairs, hallway and kitchen. I cannot wait for a whole house tour. Bittersweet memories, glad you had that time with your mom..Have a blessed night..me and Otis🐶, Massachusetts 🎄🌟🎄
I agree with the frogs not being placed in the new cabinet. Even the "Teeth" book is the correct color! 💖
Cabinet came out nice. I like using the finishing wax....it makes a huge difference to me.
I love your fyi “im not a murderer” ok thanks😂❤
Your story about the dog skull was actually sweet, that you wanted to give him a home. I have a friend who collects skulls as well and I donated a bunch to her from the school I work at when they cleaned out the science wing for remodeling, hated the idea of them going to the trash. I have another friend who collects taxidermy for same reasons. People often think it’s morbid but I actually find this thinking really sweet when you talk to them about it.
Gah! I can't imagine the amount cool old sciene wing stuff that gets tossed because the person in charge of cleaning it out doesn't have a weird friend. 😛 Glad you were able to find them a home, I bet your friend was stoked too!
You definitely have your own vibe. Keep having fun!
Love it! Make me want to add to my little collection. I found a (I think) raccoon skull and a deer jaw last year hiking with my husband and son. Nature had cleaned it up pretty good, but I did some extra cleaning. Nice to know I’m not the only weirdo that finds bones cool
So glad you’re posting again, Kayla! Love your house and curiosity collection! Your dad’s a gem! I share your videos with my daughter who also collects and cleans bones. We’re in OH, too!
Very cool. You are such an interesting person with obviously a big heart.
Your done a great job on the cabinet ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing your thought process!! Sending love and happy holiday wishes from Ohio!!!❤🎉😊
Same to you! ❤️
Love the look, what a great use of that terrific find.
Thanks so much!
Bwahaha! I fell every moment of your frustration when you were re-arranging shelves and trying to find the perfect placement and things would not sit right. I have 4 large curio cabinets and a bunch of mini ones and it's super fun to play with arranging everything so it looks perfect - and super frustrating when thing Will Not Sit The Way You Want Them To. I love when there's a memory attached to a curio like with your antler and I truely appreciate that you have given a loving home to the little dog you found.
The cabinet, itself, looks splendid. Your curiosities fit together so well inside of it.
I think “habinet” is my new favorite word, honestly.
LOL
Beautiful! I love those cabinets!
I use the exact same type of cabinet for my vintage pyrex and skull display!
$60 is a steal...such a stunning piece!
I keep forgetting that you are in my area. I just scored a 1920’s China cabinet on Facebook.

Good job! Just a thought - this is the time of year you may find abandoned wasps' nests still pretty much intact. That might be a curious find. If you do go to collect one, just be sure it is truly abandoned.
You know what's so funny, we have a huge hornets nest of the house and I literally just told my husband yesterday that I wanted to add it to this cabinet!
It just seems right for the vibe!
So cool❤
19:15 Im sorry. Rat snakes that live in the attic! I listened three times to make sure I had that right. I just- what?
On a different note I very much enjoyed the video. Thank you for the work that went into sharing it
LOL! Yeeeeah, we have a snake... problem. I mean, they don't bother us and they probably keep other critters under control but we've found LOTS of snake skins in the attic and spotted them climbing the exterior of the house.
@kaylahstroup thank you for taking the time to explain. My mind still boggles at the attic of all places
Try and fine a sea turtle skull. They look really neat. I need something like this for my classroom.
They're very cool (but also very illegal!)
Oh shoot! You're extra cool! 😍💀

Hi, really curious... how do you clean the bones?
Depends on what the starting point is but generally just soap, water and lotsa time! I wrote a blog post on it a while back - thedaintysquid.com/2015/09/skull-cleaning-101.html

Re your video title…….
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve said that exact sentence………….I’d have zero dollars 😁
LOL.
