RentHop’s Apartment Wishlist Items

We’re adding these items to our wish list!

1. Mina Victory Genuine Sheepskin Freeform Rug

Buy from: Nordstrom

Price: $250

Before this was even a Game of Thrones must have piece, these rugs have been highly popular as apartment must haves. And if you canโ€™t get your hands on the original IKEA night watch rug, this seems like a good substitute.

2. Kate Spade Two Of A Kind Cozy Set

Buy from: Kate Spade

Price: $28

Can anyone get enough of his and hers items? We canโ€™t! These are too cute to handle and we need them. And who doesnโ€™t love Kate Spade? Perfect for those last warm sunny days when we want to keep our drinks chilled.ย 

3. Le Creuset 2-Piece Salt And Pepper Mill Set

Buy from: Belk

Price: $65

Who doesnโ€™t get confused with which one is the salt shaker and which one is the pepper shaker? We know we do. So instead of going so far that we get salt and pepper shakers that say โ€œsaltโ€ and โ€œpepperโ€ on them, lets just go with different colors. One black and one white. We canโ€™t promise youโ€™ll remember which one is which but it might make it easier!ย 

4. ”Life Begins After Coffee” Framed Wall Art

Buy from: Khols

Price: $68.99

Because life do really begin after coffee. For all those coffee addicts out there, going without a coffee in the morning is difficult and unnecessary.ย 

5. Williams-Sonoma Lacourte Chest

Buy from: Williams Sonoma

Price: $1,995

A nice, big dresser is key for any apartment. And this one hits all the checkpoints for us. Itโ€™s big, it has a delicate design, and you can get it in both ebony and ivory.ย 

6. Kilian Loukoum Candle/7.76 oz.

Buy from: Saks Fifth Avenue

Price: $90

Because why shouldnโ€™t we splurge on some nice looking, great smelling candles from time to time?

7. Black and White Pillow

Buy from: Etsy

Price: $50/pillow

One of these cute black and white pillows is not enough. We need two! And they go so well with everything else in the apartment too, if you have them in neutral colors such as black and white!ย
