Lots of great suggestions here!
I've been married 7 years and would definitely echo the sentiment of register for what you need/have room for/will use. I registered for fancy china, but while we love to entertain, we are not "fancy entertainers" and I don't see us ever using our fancy china. I have twelve settings of Vera Wang Grosgrain--anyone interested??!! I also thought it would be cool to have margarita glasses, but having a whole shelf in the kitchen taken up by 8 margarita glasses that don't get used isn't so cool.

I disagree with @Pi on the knife set. No one is going to know that you returned those knives to get the expensive set. And chances are, if you register for the set, no one will buy it for you. Same thing goes for good cookware.

And if you are clumsy like me, don't bother with expensive glasswear!

Love it!
So cozy and chic--love all the items/ details touches of blue and yellow.

The dining table shot threw me a bit--That bold poster and those chairs; it just felt like it was a picture from someone else's apartment got in there somehow

no my taste but well done

my one comment is I love the mirrors but they are quite overwhelming where they are now. Maybe you could use them somewhere else?

Sophisticated, yes, but would love a little pop of color here and there to make it sing. And the height of the tall lamp on the tall stack of books really throws me.

I have to say that the bedroom area is a little "hotel-bland" for my taste.

Maybe antlers is a trend, but I love the way you have made it original by doing it in multiple-grid formation. Im a little OCD though and I wish they were centered over the couch!
