I like lists. I do not use them as often as I should but I like them. They help keep you organized and help you from wasting your time. As I am pursuing a more simple lifestyle I was on the search for lists of household essentials.

I came across these checklists from the HouseBeautiful Website:

• Kitchen Essentials
• Personal Security
• Guest Room Essentials
• Powder Room Design
• Garment Care Essentials
• Desktop Essentials
• First Aid Kit Essentials
• Makeup Essentials
• Tabletop Essentials
• Cleaning Essentials
• Nightstand Essentials
• Linen Closet Essentials
• Barware Essentials
• Tool Kit Essentials

These are just simple checklist with essential items. Of course every household is different and has different needs, so tweak them according to the needs of you and your family.

Happy Simplifying!
