Love this charger plate to use for decorating on the kitchen island.
13" Wooden Plate Charger Brown - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia: Acacia, Farmhouse Style
We got these Beautiful by Drew Barrymore pots and pans for the new house and they are amazing! I love the white color we got to go in our white kitchen.

These glass food storage containers are great for leftovers and so much easier to clean out than the plastic ones.
Snapware Glass Storage Containers
We saw these refrigerator/freezers in a Parade of Homes house. They bought two and flipped the way the doors open on one and stood them next to each other to create the most organized looking fridge/freezer I have ever seen!
Liebherr Refrigerator
Bathroom
We got these organizing bins for the bathroom and they have been a game changer. From nail polish to hair sprays, gels, etc. no more mess below the sink or in the closet.
Acrylic Storage - Walmart
We loved these circle mirrors, some also are touch mirrors to add lighting in the background, for our bathrooms for the kids. We wanted to get away from the large giant mirror in the bathroom.
Black Circle Mirror
I don't think we will ever be able to go back to regular bath towels. Bath sheets are the way to go. So much bigger than regular towels and we never have to worry about guests having small towels.
Bath Sheets - Target
Basement
This was my daughter's ask for the play room in the basement or in her room. This is for her alone time she said. I do love the look of it!
Hanging Chairs For Bedrooms
A good TV was definitely needed in the basement for movies for the kids and sports games while playing pool.
65 Inch 4k Tv
We got the pool table, so we needed a set of billiard balls. There are actually so many neat sets out there, but Amazon has some basic ones if you are just looking for a regular set.
Amazon.com: Billiard Balls
Kids Bedrooms
These are very similar to the vanity that my daughter picked out for her room. Hers doesn't have the lights around a mirror though.
White : Vanity Tables - Target
These under bed storage bins with wheels are awesome to put out of season items in and hide under the bed instead of taking up room in the garage. We also used these for the boys NERF guns when they were little.
Under Bed Drawers Wheels - Walmart
We couldn't possibly move into a new house without having X-Boxes in the boys rooms. They play games together while in separate rooms. Kind of funny to watch.
Xbox Series X & Xbox Series S - Walmart.com
Many different options to choose from, but the kids all love LED lights for their room. The oldes likes the white lights and the younger ones like the multicolored ones.
String Lights For Bedroom
This bean bag chair was on the top of the list for the kids for their rooms. They will actually lay in these for hours, sometimes together since it is so big. Well worth the money!
Large Bean Bag
Bar
Do yourself a favor and get yourself this frozen concoction maker!! Make your own frozen drinks to enjoy in the sun!
Margaritaville Key West Frozen Maker
These are not the cheapest, but if you can afford it, they are like the Keurig of alcohol drinks and super easy to make drinks for guests!
Bartesian Automatic Cocktail Maker Machine
Our bar will be stacked with sports memorabilia. Hockey, baseball, football, etc. They have some really fun things to hang up around your bar area.
Sports Memorabilia - Baseball Collectibles
What would a bar be without a neon sign or two? I am still trying to get my hands on a baseball one, but I will find the right one sometime!
Neon Beer Signs
Pantry
We are trying to find ways to save money while still feeding our kids some healthy stuff. This cookbook has some amazing recipes for natural food from onion powder to flour. Also follow her on Facebook, she has some great videos out there.
Pantry on the Homestead by Katherine Umbarger
I love, love, love these spice jars. They come with premade labels and some additional blank labels if you want to make your own.
Bloomondo Empty Spice Jars with Bamboo Lids
Love the look of these white baskets with the wooden handles for the pantry. I love these for small bags of chips or bags of rice or pasta sides.
LeleCAT White Wire Storage Baskets - Set of 4
Soup can organizer for all those cans of soup that get stacked up in the pantry. I typically have at least 3 staple soups in the pantry that we use to cook with, so these organizers are really nice.
Simple Houseware Stackable Can Rack, White
Soda can organizers make it nice so that you don't have to keep the soda cases in the pantry. You can also put these in the fridge if you want to organize the fridge.
Simple Houseware Stackable Can Dispenser 2Pk
I absolutely love these acrylic bins for organizing in the pantry! The kids snacks have been organized in these for years so they can go make their own lunches in the morning.
Acrylic Bins
I bought this acrylic lazy Susan for the pantry thinking I wasn't sure if I would like it. Being able to spin this around to look for the bottle of oil I want is game changing. No more clanking bottles or knocking them over while trying to get one ou...
Acrylic Lazy Susan
These little clips may actually change my life!! Clip these on to an open bag of rice, cereal, beans, etc. Not only does it seal up the bag, but provides a spout to pour the food out of to prevent messes too!!
Moylie Food Storage Bag Clips with Pour Spouts
This was a must have for me. You can find them on deals too sometimes. The Kitchen Aid Mixer cover just makes me feel better that dust/particles are not flying all over when it is in storage.
Kitchenaid Cover
I absolutely love the look of these rectangular bottles and that the label wraps around the side so you can put them sideways to take up less space on the counter or in the pantry.
Molimoli Premium Olive Oil Dispenser
Love the look of these glass pasta storage containers with bamboo lids. They match the spice jars I have and look so much nicer than the old Tupperware containers I had my pasta in.

Garage
These Milwaukee Tool PACKOUT wall storage organizing tools were the first things we bought for the new garage. No more sitting on the work bench, they now have their own spot on the wall and holders perfect for charging the drills too.

36" Griddles - Blackstone Products
If you get the Blackstone, you are going to want an accessory kit. While the Blackstone one is great, there are also cheaper sets that will do the trick, just depends on your budget and preference. The spatulas are a MUST as well as the bottles for w...

Master Bedroom
I may have a shoe problem, but really the problem is I don't have room for them all. At the new house these acrylic shoe boxes will be going in our walk in closet to organize my shoes.
Clear Shoe Boxes
After sleeping on the same mattress for over 15 years, once we built our house, a new mattress was one of the first things that was on our list. This Helix mattress has some of the best reviews out there.
