another question about living on your own

ok, if i do move in with fh before my shower (it would be no more than a month before)...what do you consider to be 'essentials'?

i already have:

all our dishes
pots
corningware/pyrex sets
our silverware
crock pot
baking sheets
our glasses
some serving pieces
our towels


We can use my bedding i currently have, because we're keeping the same size bed

Towels, lots and lots of towels!

An iron/ironing board.

Edited: Oh wait, you have towels on there.

you could also put:
-- art for the walls
-- other decor (vases, statuettes, etc)
-- area carpets
-- window treatments (curtains, blinds, etc)

not really 'essential' items but 'very nice to have'

i live alone. i'd suggest going to bbb or williams-sonoma web sites and downloading the 'registry checklist.' it's reallyyy helpful.

the only thing is that i feel some of these things aren't 'essential' for the three-four weeks..like i could wait until my shower
