Hi, please contribute to this thread to find out what your best 'buys' have been!! It could be a new appliance, an electrical gizmo, a piece of furniture or must-have design feature of your house: maybe something that broke the budget, but it's been worth every cent...and please tell us why. We just might want to include it in our next build!!
I'll start:
1. window shutters, worth every cent for light control, ease of cleaning and appearance.
2. kitchen chopping block. Cheap, but sooo convenient, it's constantly in use! (excuse the messy snap)
