The Housewarming Wishlist
Friends and family have asked for a housewarming wishlist,and I wanted mostly practical stuff, so here we go:
LAMPS – We need quite a few of these as there is insufficient lighting in the house. One room doesn’t have any light at all :D. I have registered with Target since they had the best selection of lamps. I don’t expect people to buy these expensive ones, these are merely to give you an idea of the style I am looking for. Obviously not a big brass 70’s lamp 🙂
Picture frames – Also on the target wishlist 🙂 Hopefully matching!
Front porch furniture (used is PERFECTLY fine, if you can find some sturdy stuff on freecycle or something). We’re particularly looking for some nice rockers for out front. All preferably wood, no plastic.
Solar candles for windows (something like these, approx 10 needed.)
Cushions for our dining room chairs (preferably plain dark brown or plain beige, organic fabric if possible)
CFL Lightbulbs (normal, flood lights, and 3-way bulb, can never have too many of these)
Lowes/Home Depot Gift Card (always useful for our upcoming projects)
Pur water filter for the kitchen sink.
A reusable mob (no sponges, no swiffers) preferably made of natural fibers that we can wash in the washing machine.
New cookware set, preferably glass or stainless steel (no teflon), and if colored, at least maroon or steel. We have sufficient cookware now, so this is not high priority, it’s just all of ours are mixed from various sets.
Organic cotton table clothes, nature colored but holiday decorative are fine. All preferably organic cotton or some sort of organic linen. A nice brown or sage runner for the dining room table would be good too.
Mats for front and back door (I like this one especially for the front door, but I also like ones with leaves and things).
A new biodegradable toilet brush
Bamboo Blinds (at least 5 for the upstairs.)
Bamboo or organic linen shower curtain for dads bathroom, preferably plain white or beige.
Detachable shower-head with built-in filter, one for each bathroom. These are hard to find, but not impossible. Filter should be on the head of the nozzle, and a few extra filters would be nice too 🙂 There’s a list of some here.
Glasses with lids (no plastic cups, please)
A metal cleaning pale, no plastic. This is for putting cleaning supplies in to carry around the house, etc.
Media storage cabinet. Used is fine, but I’m looking for a bench style cabinet, not a tall one. Should fit under the windows. We have nowhere to put any videos atm. Even an old beaten up antique that is a bench with shelves behind doors that we can store videos is fine.
Keep on the lookout for a natural wood (not dark) headboard (this style.) Used is fine. Queen sized. (uncle is building this)
A gift card to Kennie’s Market or Giant to help us out on restocking the kitchen.
Metal trashcans for feed and storage. Plastic ones get eaten through by squirrels and things. Larger the better.
New broom. I’d like one of those old traditional brooms.
Dining room placemats, preferably rooster or native american themed, or just plain beige. Organic fabric if possible.
2 new dust pans. I like the copper looking ones.
Glass storage jars for kitchen. Something like this or this is even better. This is for storage of seed, flour, cereals, etc. No plastic!
Wooden Hangers for our closets, now that we finally have our first closets! I got one set from Target here. I’d like the same natural looking hangers.
Clear lamp oil for our lanterns.
2 smoke detectors
1 carbon monoxide detector
Two memberships for me and my dad at Better World Club
This bathroom set for my bathroom
Glass Canisters for the bathroom
