What outrageously expensive household item would you buy if money were no object?

I'd like solid silver cutlery. I have actually considered getting a couple of place settings, just for me. Also, Herend porcelain but I am so accident-prone, I wouldn't dare.

What would you buy?

A chef, please.
I'm so sick of cooking.

A chef would be an acceptable alternative, @cornflakecrunchie !

🤣 although 😱 at the price.

I'd love a really fancy coffee machine

I’m just getting rid of all of my le creuset. It’s just too bloody heavy.

I have a study with large, oak, free standing bookcases but I would love to upgrade to bespoke, built in bookcases with a rolling library ladder.

A beautifully restored gypsy caravan sitting in a corner of the garden. It would be furnished with vintage linens, fairy-lights, a patchwork eiderdown and a ceramic, potbelly stove.

I have a small dressing room and would love to brick up its door onto the landing. The only access to it would be through the back of the big old wardrobe in our guest room (or 'spare oom'). I'd get someone to remove the back of the wardrobe and the part of the wall behind. Then I'd hang second hand, long fur coats in the wardrobe.

A genuine, Georgian burled walnut bureau with secret compartments. I have a reproduction one but it's not the same.

A Thermomix. Without a shadow of a doubt.

An original artwork
New sofas from sofas&stuff

A swimming pool. Seriously a luxury.

Elton?

Granite worktops and a kitchenaid. I like to bake so maybe 1 to 1 sessions with Mary Berry too 😊

A heated indoor swimming pool long enough to do lengths in.

Given all the rain recently and a large breed dog a self cleaning tiled kitchen floor!

It isn't just the cost of building it, the running costs...
But yes, imagine a daily swim.

A golden pineapple. Real gold, no bronze imitation.

If such a thing exists, I'd love a stand up full body blow dryer to use instead of a towel after the shower. Is there something like that out there, for when I win the lottery ha.

My friend has one of these. She turns it off when I visit otherwise it terrifies the living daylights out of me!

Not really a household item.
But l would have a heated indoor swimming pool.

If l money was no object, l would love in a hotel suite.

If you've got a bit of spare benchtop, you can get a smallish dishwasher that sits on your benchtop. Doesn't require separate plumbing - I did it myself. You get a switcher that goes onto your tap.

For me, the main advantage is that I don't need to bend over as I have lots of joint problems. I learnt my lesson with my front loading washing machine. Love my top loader.

Ooh this.
I couldn’t think of anything but this is such a good idea I’m going to say this!

I’ve ALWAYS wanted a Smeg fridge, love them.

Really unreliable but a thing of beauty, similar to a Dualit toaster

WHAT !!!!

Not an item but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a cleaner. Or a cleaner who cooks. A house keeper !!

If money were no object, I'd get my very little terraced house fixed up properly. I'd get all of the many cracks sorted and have a total redec (in same off-white colours), with someone else doing ALL the preps, i.e. dresser-shelf-emptying/ packing; book-shelf emptying/packing; surfaces clearing/packing, furniture moving, etc., and the same in reverse when redecs completed.

Then I'd have my v. tiny garden re-scoped by a very good landscape gardener, to include under-planting with many & various bulbs, which would come up year on year, thus ensuring max garden pleasure with min effort.
Somewhere in the mix, interpolated in a timely way, I'd have solar panels + batteries installed. And, while we're at it, I'd go all-electric, having my gas-hob (tho' I love it) uninstalled in favour of an induction hob.
My aim: to end up with pretty much what I've already got, but properly spruced up and future ready.

Ha, I had a lot of Le Creuset given to me by my parents when it was last fashionable in the 80s. I eventually gave it all away as it was so bloody heavy, particularly the big pans.

My item would be a proper stone-built outdoor bread & pizza oven - and maybe to move my house to a climate where you could use it all year round.
