10 Items Every Home Should Have

Architectural Digest recently wrote a blog about 10 Items Every Home Should Have.  I was intrigued.  Even before I started reading, I started wondering. 

 

Would they be:
  • Essential safety tools like flashlights in every room should the lights go out
  • Pantry staples like double stuff Oreos….What?  You know you love them! 
  • Unique items like garden clippers in your kitchen for easy fresh bouquets every week
  • Common organizational tools—my personal fav—a label maker to ensure everything is labeled
