I watched this video and it was... well... "inspiring" might be a strong word... but I was inspired. Mostly to make a shopping list blog post.
Here's the list:
Croutons If you can't eat bread, they now also make croutons out of cheese.
 |
| "Get rid of the futons and bring on the croutons" |
A coffee table tray I concede that there is a real purpose for people with a giant ottoman instead of a coffee table.
 |
| "It does not have a purpose, but it looks purposeful" |
A book or books I personally recommend books about coffee for your coffee table book(s).
 |
| "These are not reading books these are looking-at-from a-distance books" |
A disorganized pile of seemingly important unopened mail Make sure you do open the actually important mail.
 |
| No, you can't buy mail (can you?...) but you need a holder for it. |
An uncomfortable throw The more scratchy, the better.
 |
| "Nothing fits, and you're always kind of uncomfortable" |
A cutting board Make sure to get at least one decorative one that can sit out on your counter.
 |
| "You must be old enough to rent a car" |
A trash can next to your toilet Please, please have this.
 |
| "Next-level adulting" |
Chip clips If not to keep bugs out, get these to keep your chips fully yummy.
 |
| "Look at you! I guess you don't want bugs in your food!" |
Art and Candles Thanks, Grace, for validating the weird stuff I have in my house.
 |
| "Suddenly your place has a snappy personality and some competing odors" |
Side tables I'm between homes and currently using the arms of my couch for my beverages. I feel like a barbarian.
 |
| "Why not have some options" |
Extra toilet paper near your toilet Also, please have this. Don't make it hard or impossible for me to find it.
 |
| Don't make people have to ask... or worse: drip dry |
Tissues I do agree with this. Until recently I directed people to use TP in the bathroom.
 |
| "Wow. When they're sick, they have a separate paper product to blow their nose" |
Security system Okay, I really want this.
 |
| "Yes, I do have a bat, shaped like a cane, directly next to my bed" |
A decent comforter for your bed Don't break the bank, but it's worth not skimping on this.
 |
| Also, a cover so that it's easier to wash. |
So that's all the things you need to trick people into thinking you live like an adult. Let me know how your makeover goes and/or what else you do to trick people into thinking you live like an adult!
This is such a great post. The sad fact is I have a few of things in my home. I fully feel like an adult now!!
ReplyDeleteCroutons out of cheese? Uhm, yes please!
ReplyDeleteI have most of these but I fail on the TP one. So my kids need to learn to replace the TP or they are at the mercy of someone.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I do a lot of these. And we do have a security system to be on the safe side!
