The only area to my mind that fell short was the kitchen. I think most people would appreciate a whisk, kitchen scales, cooking utensils made of steel rather than plastic which were showing signs of wear and tear, salt and pepper mills and possibly a washing machine in place of either the dishwasher or the freezer.

The kitchen I feel is missing a set of weighing scales, a whisk and possibly replacing some of the plastic cooking utensils with items that are more robust.Unfortunately the shower floor after a shower is a bit of a nuisance as the water doesn't drain away that well, but you get used to it.
