If I have a motion to claim exempt property from an old judgment, how will this effect my husband?,
I haven’t worked in years and married about 4 years ago. Do I have to list the things that my husband has purchased since we’ve been married (stove, washer, dryer) simply because we are married and it’s half mine, or not list them because he paid for them and they are legally his?

Anything purchased since your marriage is something which is partly yours, whether or not you provided the money for them or all the money came from your spouse. (Consider: if you divorced, you'd have a claim to all your marital assets, even if all the money for them was your husband's). You must list these items.
