Maybe for you, this part is not so fun. You’ve done a lot of work at this point, so we’re laying it all out for you: a list of practical items most homeowners may not think about right away. 

You probably have accumulated a lot of stuff even before buying your new home. So we’re not going to tell you to buy a frying pan or laundry hamper. A lot of these items may have you saying “whoa that’s cool.” Visit our Amazon Storefront OR see our list below of practical items for the home:
