Mary Mychael's Top 5 Must Haves in a Home
/Wine Fridge/Storage- Having spent a lot of time in the wine industry, I have a soft spot for a good glass of vino and lately our collection is growing! I love being able to store it properly so I can have a crisp (perfectly chilled) glass of white or rosé or a nicely aged red from our wine rack.
Record Player- Music is a big part of our lives as a family, and we LOVE filling our home with some good tunes. We have a cool tabletop turntable and lots of fun records (old and new) – a recurring fave is *Galactic – Into the Deep* and of course (Penelope’s favorite) the Frozen II soundtrack – you gotta have balance.
Statement Dining Room- Dinner at a dining room table is something I will always encourage and cherish – the conversations, the laughs, the good food and drinks, all of it. Eric and I have spent years looking for the perfect dining room that was unique and perfect for us and our space. We recently took the plunge after a 3 year pep-talk (because dining room tables…man, they can be a financial commitment!). And I couldn’t be happier…its beautiful but also brings people together and I love that.
Reading Nook/Library- I love a space where devices are not the centerpiece. A space where you can sit and listen to music, read, work, craft…bonus if there are lots of windows with natural light. :)
Bathtub- If you missed my bathroom renovation last year, then you may not know that I am a bathtub gal through and through…the entire renovation came about *just* so I could add a bathtub (I mean it needed updating anyway but still). Living in dust for months (and months) is not my favorite thing, but the end result was SO worth it because that bathtub is my jam. Bonus if there is a glass of wine involved – and a book – maybe even some soft tunes in the background – and a sleeping kiddo – now we’re talkin!
