Hollen hates conventional step-on bins because they're clumsy, and Cole hates under-counter bins because they're inconvenient. So here we have the happy medium - a capacious, functional, and efficient rubbish solution!

We hope to fill our home with beautiful but functional objects that turn mundane tasks into lovely little rituals.

These bags are so handy as laundry baskets or keeping blankets in the living room. We love that they are sustainable, durable, and washable. Imagine a huge paper bag you never have to throw away!

Some towels for us, some towels for you when you visit. Hollen received a set of these for high school graduation and has never looked back - these are THE BEST towels!

Concentrated, refillable products are more sustainable and affordable than just buying all new bottles of the cleaning products we'll use daily.

Maybe if our cleaning products smell good we'll clean more often... fingers crossed!

If you know us at all, you know we love to travel. It's a top priority for us now and for the rest of our lives - we just might need a little extra boost to get us overseas in our 20's until our careers take off and we become rich and famous!

Some of our favorite memories and travel experiences originate with a unique AirBnB. And there are so many more we've yet to find!

We have a gorgeous antique daybed that we found at an estate sale, and it will serve as a guest bed, reading spot, and bonus couch for years to come. It needs a quilt worthy of its classic Americana carved floral frame! A modern heirloom.

Cole is a born-again knife enthusiast, and a bit of a sharp knife evangelist, believing firmly that any decent cook begins every good meal with a sharp knife.

This drying rack on a pulley harkens back to our days living in Scotland. This type of air-born drying system is widespread in the UK because electric dryers aren't commonplace and linens dry faster closer to the ceiling as heat rises. We love this simple, whimsical, and sustainable option for an otherwise dreary chore.

We're going to have a balcony on our apartment, and we love nothing more than to have birds visiting us! This design is great and squirrel-proof.

This candle sconce epitomizes our style - Medieval chic. Mid-century monastery. Scandinavian black out. Electricity is gauche. Help us turn our apartment into a nunnery from the dark ages, our absolute dream.

These bags are so handy for storing produce on the counter or anything in the pantry. We love that they are sustainable, durable, and washable. Imagine a paper bag you never have to throw away!

We'll be living on leftovers as newlyweds, and perhaps Hollen will try her hand at canning! We love this classic, timeless design for keeping food fresh in the fridge and we've been Weck fans for years.

We'll be licking the brownie batter off of these for the rest of our lives! An accessory for our gorgeous KitchenAid stand mixer!

This candle smells like one of our favorite places in the world - Monachyle Mhor in Balquidder, Scotland. This scent transports us back to our days in the Scottish Highlands (even though it's called "Moroccan" Amber) and holds a special place in our heart.

We have a "thing" for ticking stripes... if you haven't noticed.

We use olive oil just about everyday - we love to have items in our kitchen that are both charming and functional!

What could be more special than sharing wine with guests? We don't have any stemware and would love to have some!

We've been making our own handmade pasta for a few years now but we're ready to up our game. Think of the possibilities!

We love a good road trip, and most of the fun is the trip snacks! We often find ourselves in need of a good cooler when we travel long distances in the car and go car camping in the spring and fall.

A staple on our table! We'll use them every night and you'll use them when you share a meal with us at our table.

Wine, cocktails, drams, etc. The Summersell home wouldn't be complete without versatile little vessels for refreshments of all sorts.

We love to cook together, and the preparation of the meal can be as beautiful as sharing the meal together if our tools are as durable, thoughtful, and elegant as this one! We love the heirloom quality and versatility of a pan this size and shape. We'll use it every week!

We love the al fresco living and dining space in our new home, but we'll need to gussy it up when we move in. This lovely rug will be the perfect thing to make the front porch a little slice of paradise.

We would love to curate a home full of high quality items made in the USA that will last forever. These sheets are made in the USA from cotton grown in Alabama and made to last, just like they used to make 'em back in the day.

The everyday cutlery set we've always needed! We have collected some gorgeous silver plate flatware over the years, but the dishwasher factor presents a problem for daily use. Now we've found a timeless set of dishwasher friendly flatware! We will use this 42-piece set on a daily basis and admire every piece lovingly as we eat!

This is definitely a staple in a soup-loving and hosting household like ours! Time-tested and classic.

We would love to limit the use of plastic in the kitchen as much as possible, especially because of Hollen's habit of melting plastic kitchen tools on the stove and in the dishwasher. This elegant but practical set of copper measuring cups will last forever (heirloom potential!), won't scratch our pots and pans, and will spare us the smell of burning plastic.

Some of our favorite recipes involve zoodles (zucchini noodles) and now we're excited to discover all the possibilities of spiralized veggies!

This carafe will go on your nightstand in the guest room when you come visit us. Making our friends and loved ones feel at home in our home is so important to us!

We would love to limit the use of plastic in the kitchen as much as possible, especially because of Hollen's habit of melting plastic spoons and spatulas on the stove and in the dishwasher. This elegant but practical set of wooden kitchen utensils will last forever, won't scratch our pots and pans, and will spare us the smell of burning plastic.

The Summersells-to-be are picnicking fiends. We have picnicked in 5 different countries (so far) and many different states, on the beach and in the grass and on rocks and among trees. It is truly one of our favorite things to do together. But we have yet to find ourselves a go-to picnic blanket! This blanket would be the perfect addition to our picnic kit and will be well loved and well used for years and years.

Cole is usually on chopping duty whenever we cook together, so we'll need a cutting board as handsome as he is! This one is artisan made in the USA.

Opinel knives have taken care of us all over the world, through picnics and road trips and camping trips in Sweden, Britain, Maine, and more. Why should our home be any different?

Even the mundane can be made beautiful with a bit of thought and intention, and we love the poetry and design of this little pepper mill. If even something as small and simple as our pepper mill is lovely, imagine how lovely our daily lives will be in our home.

We use a toaster oven more than any other counter top appliance... can't live without it!

We love being low-maintenance guests and generous hosts, so this air mattress would allow us to tread lightly on our friends when we visit them and host more people in our own home, even when we run out of guest rooms.

We'll be living on leftovers as newlyweds, and perhaps Hollen will try her hand at canning! We love this classic, timeless design for keeping food fresh in the fridge and we've been Weck fans for years.

While living in the UK, Hollen became an electric kettle convert. She loves her tea in the morning & hot water bottle on chilly nights! Now we just have to convert Cole!

Hollen grew up dining al fresco with her family, so we've been avid outdoor diners ever since we got together. Enamelware is perfect for outdoor meals and hosting in the garden!

We loooove this dish soap block because it lasts YEARS, eliminates the need for plastic bottles, and is completely hands free. No picking up, squirting, and setting back down. No buying dish soap every few weeks.

We grew up with real trees at Christmastime every year, and are firm believers in the real tree tradition. The Terry family Christmas tree stand is just like this one, and we would love to bring this tradition and a new heirloom into our home during the holidays.

Katherine Tucker, the founder, designer, and maker of all things Civil Stoneware, has been a friend and employer of Hollen's for years. We love the texture and character of her work and would love to bring her local, handmade pieces into everyday use in our home.

We did the research... THIS is the pan that won't warp or get sticky over time. They say it stays plumb and square for years. We're in for the long haul with the quality and longevity of our home and its contents - especially for daily staples like this!
