As you may guessed, my house-stuff shopping obsession has not died down! I’m constantly searching for new items, making notes of things I need, and getting inspired on Pinterest. Below I’ve compiled a list of house stuff I have as well as stuff I need — this serves as a list for those of you preparing to move into your first place as well! Pictured above are some things I’ve picked up so far, along with several other things not pictured (and plenty of stuff buried in that basket). I’ll continue to update this list as time passes.

If you are about to make your first big move, print this out and use it as a guide when shopping and researching potential items you want to get.
