When we got engaged over a year ago I remember telling Frank how excited I was to register. I mean, come on! What's more exciting than picking out things that other people will buy for you!? Well, let me tell you...it is MUCH more stressful than you'd think. Frank and I started registering back in September...I just recently finished. And trust me, I've changed things, added things, deleted things, and had to replace a few things that went out of stock (frustrating!) throughout the entire 6 months!
I have to admit, my mom has been a huge help, although a bit of an over-achiever at times. She's been lately emailing me suggestions that start out as, "I was looking at your registry..." and end with a list of things she thinks I should add, change, or get from a different store for a better deal. Annoying? Sometimes...especially at 9:30 when I'm just getting home from an 8-hour work day on top of 3 hours of class. But mostly, she's been super helpful.
Aside from all the stress that surrounds choosing every item I may or may not need for our future household, it is honestly turning me into one of those people obsessed with decorating their home. I kid you not. Registering is what got me addicted to Pinterest. I decided to go with a mix of white, glass, and bamboo for my kitchen items. I want the kitchen to have a natural feel to it with small pops of color (our cobalt blue tea kettle, red dutch oven, and multicolored wine glasses).
The inspiration for my selections:
And here are some of my favorite items! It makes me excited just posting this!
