Registry-ing, take II

So, after visiting Crate and Barrel, we decided to split our registry between there and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. 

For the things that show (platters, bowls, etc), we're going with a crisp white with no embellishments. That will match our current daily plate set (clean, crisp, graceful white). Glassware we're keeping all clear glass, and we're not requesting mugs, since we like our many different mugs that we have. Items on the counter on the kitchen: we're trying to keep that down, and we're making the few canisters,cups, etc that we do get have stainless steel embellishments. Things like platters, we've decided to go for a few that have wood. They are so pretty. 

We both really like wood-tones, but we think we can't go for too many. What if our new house has wood floors? What if we need to replace something? So we're going for a few. Wood bathmat, wood trivets for coasters, wood salad bowl and tongs. 

Still, after spending hours visiting the stores and then working on it last night (category by category, organized progression), we hardly have anything on there. We've been told by MANY people to put too much stuff on our registries so people have choices. We're trying. We'll see where we're at when we get through with BBB and C&B. 

But so far, we are SO happy. It all goes well together, and they're all classy pieces (we think) that will last and stand the in/out/modern phase. We are so excited. We're trying to think forward... what we will be using in the future and now. We have requested beautiful serving pieces that we will use and are excited about. We just can't wait. We're finally probably goign to get rid of lots of our lousy college cruddy things, and start a life together. It's more than the things... but that is nice too. (though that sounds so materialistic)
