I'll start.

A kitchen island.
A hall console table.
A corner sofa.
New rugs.

I am thinking of getting a plumbed-in Miele coffee machine.

Cross posted. Clearly I'm not the only bidet hater.

onepieceoflollipop · 28/03/2015 20:13

Whirlpool bath (only because I have heard they take a lot of cleaning)
Coffee pod machine (am saving up for a bean to cup)

Most kitchen gadgets such as large blender, things like cupcake makers and ice cream machines etc.

Slow cooker.

Cushions on the bed

Cecyhall · 28/03/2015 20:14

Not so much inside but I'd hate ivy and climbing plants up the outside. And after many threads on here, decking.

Both because I don't want extra wildlife encouraged to be near my house.

onepieceoflollipop · 28/03/2015 20:15

The first item on the thread, kitchen island, well I really want one when we get our new house!

Wall mounted TV.
Non-White bathroom suite
Laminate floors

A huge canvas of the skyline of a city I've never been to.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 28/03/2015 20:18

One of those daft signs that says 'live, love, laugh' or some such bollocks. If I was ever given one I'd be so annoyed. I'd feel compelled to put it somewhere like the bin.

I have a table in the hall though. Where else do you put your keys, bag, crap, etc otherwise?

GoodtoBetter · 28/03/2015 20:18

Cockroaches. Have had them in a previous house (abroad). Fumigate every spring as a preventative measure now.

Liara · 28/03/2015 20:20

I want all the ones in your OP! :-) Apart from a hall console table, but that's because I don't know what one is. If I knew I might want one.

For me:

Carpet in bathroom
Separate hot and cold taps
Artex
Sash windows

(still traumatised by state of first flat I ever bought...)

DramaAlpaca · 28/03/2015 20:20

Carpets
Plug-in air fresheners
Floral wallpaper

Whirlpool bath (only because I have heard they take a lot of cleaning)
Oh yes. DD, then a tot, shat in one on holiday once when it was on. That took a while to, er, resolve.

Other than that:
wall mounted TV
bathroom suite that is not white
leather sofa (have an unreasoning loathing of them)
dainty French antique furniture (loathe that too, plus it would get broken)

CwtchCorner · 28/03/2015 20:23

We have a kitchen island, new rugs, a corner sofa, a whirlpool bath, cushions on the bed, laminate flooring, separate hot and cold taps, a skyline picture (but I have been there, I took the photo), sash windows and carpets.

We don't have Nigel Farage though so am I forgiven? Grin
