My Dream Home Registry
Designer Kristin Hannah, the principal of Hannah Interiors who has appeared on HGTV, wrote to tell me about her newest business venture with co-founder Brian Waspi: My Dream Home Registry*.
In Kristin’s own words, the site is “an online gift registry for anyone needing help with their homes.” Anyone! As in, you don’t have to get married, move, have a baby or partake in any major life stage in order to con beg ask your friends to help you furnish and outfit your home.
The way it works: You create a registry and share your plans, images and ideas with friends and family. Then they can purchase gift “units,” starting at just $10, toward a room you’re redoing in your home. The registry is advertisement free and doesn’t represent specific vendors, so you can choose any store, designer or builder to do the dirty work once your contributions have reached you. And My Dream Home Registry only charges a 9 percent service fee on the funds, compared to traditional registries which may get you with shipping and tax costs.
I love this concept, because there’s no hassle of returning unwanted items, and your family and friends still get to feel proud that they contributed to your home. Low on cash? Time to register!

Another registry where you can registry a downpayment is http://www.felicite.com.
One advantage of felicite.com is you can register your other gifts there as well, so you can have one centralized registry for all your gifts.
Our patented partial purchase feature allows gift givers to share the cost of expensive gifts.
