THE 10 THINGS YOU MUST HAVE IN YOUR HOME

It comes a time in everyone’s life when a few friends and truck isn’t enough to move anymore. As people get older they acquire things. From larger more substantial furniture items, electronics, kitchen pots-pans-appliances and everything that you have collected or accumulated throughout the years. It eventually gets to a point where you either buy a home or move into an apartment that you plan on staying in for a long while.  When that time comes here are 10 must have items that will help make it a long term home.

  1. ART YOU LOVE- it’s time to frame and display all the great pieces you have been storing away
  2. BOOKSHELF- Consider the bookshelf an inspirational place to display everything that’s uniquely you—then you can personalize and change it over the years as you see fit
  3. MATCHING TOWELS- Buy at least two sets of towels that you’re happy to use and proud to lend to house guests.
  4. PLANTS- Plants will make your home feel more permanent
  5. A NICE MATTRESS- invest in your bed during your adult life
  6. A COLLECTION- start a collection that showcases your travels or things you love
  7. BATHROOM ACCESSORIES THAT AREN’T PLASTIC- time to upgrade from the dollar store bathroom aisle
  8. CANDLES- scented candles not the ones from back in the day shaped like a mushroom that smelled like burning plastic when they were lit
  9. TWO BED SIDE TABLES- this not only adds balance to your adult bed but is very useful for overnight guests
  10. A GOOD THROW- not only useful but looks great on the couch or chair
