Pick of the Litter

If I were to go back in time and re-register for my wedding, it wouldn't be at the stereotypical Crate & Barrel or Williams-Sonoma. Instead I'd opt for a houseful of classics from Design Within Reach. Their accessories are so spot-on, I'd imagine my house filled with the most functional and best looking housewares around.

The Kitchen Registry:

The Honey-Do Shower:

The Future Baby Shower:

The Groom's Gift:

And the only bits I would still need [causing me to stray from DWR] are everyday dishes. Without a doubt, Virginia Sin's Porcelain Plates are exactly what I'd want.

oh I just love DWR! I just wish it was all a bit less expensive :)

Stephanie said...

Ha ha - I think about this all the time! Fortunately, I only chose pretty basic, classic stuff on my registry, but oh, to get a do over and get some really killer stuff like this ...

and should I ever have a baby, a teepee will definitely be on the registry!

Love the "honey do" shower! I wish I would have had one of those.

Love your new picks! My boys have a teepee and it's provided hours of fun and it's portable so they can take it outside.

Ashley said...

The baby stuff is cute but wow is it overpriced! I'd rather put the money in my kids' college savings.

Love them all!

OOOOOOOOOOH....wouldn't that be fun to make new selections! It's so strange how our tastes change over the years. When you're young, you just don't quite have a grasp of what you really like, do you? The biggest mistake I made while making my selections was my silver flatware pattern .....I should have chosen my mother-in-law's pattern because my husband is an only child and he inherited it all! I just had to have my own. But I do mix them and it is fine.
Love all of your "new" selections, Courtney!

Wow, you are a power shopper. I would never have the time to pull together such a chic grouping of home items. Impressive!

Functional + Beautiful = "Must Haves"

Serious crush on those plates - quirky and so cool!

Mrs.French said...

I so agree...this is why i think we should get married every 5 years or so..to the same guy of course!
