Must-Haves: #1-12
It just dawned on me that having a new house actually entails a lot of things to purchase. When you go hopping from apartment to apartment, you will never worry about wanting to have chandeliers on your staircase or putting up an outdoor furniture or installing tiles in your bedroom – well, apartments usually have the basic things you will need for a fairly good abode. You just have to bring in your things, purchase a little furniture if needed and hurrah, you got a pretty good place to live for a few months. Or years.But not if you just transferred to a newly built house. Aside from the cost of construction, you have to consider the furnishings, fixtures and all the artistic touch you want to add to your living space… and that’s exactly what we are facing now. So i made my must-have list to jot down pretty much the basic things we still have to purchase for the house.
#1 – leather sofa for the living room.
#2 – carpet tiles for the bedroom
#3 – a six-seater dining table
#4 – outdoor furniture
#5 – dresser for the walk-in closet
#6 – night stand
#7 – chandelier for the staircase
#8 – kitchen cabinets
#9 – pull-out bed for the second bedroom
#10 – furniture for my home office
#11 – drapes for the living room and bedroom
#12 – lights for the kitchen.
For now, these are the just the immediate needs for the house and we’re still working hard to earn more money for all these… but what i am excited the most is putting up a retaining wall garden with gazebo on it. I was actually excited more with the garden than what’s inside the house. whew..
For now, we just have to save more to be able to start with the decorating and furnishing. Still a long way to go but hopefully we can do what we need to do to finish everything. More must-haves to come!
