If employer included reimbursements as income on 1099-MISC, how do I classify expenses such as microwave, bedding, or kitchen utensils that the employer told me to buy?

I worked as an independent contractor hosting an airbnb for an employer and they had me buy random supplies for the properties (window blinds, microwave, gift chocolates, bedding, kitchen utensils, etc.) I would submit receipts to them and they would then reimburse me on the next paycheck. Now, I have gotten my 1099-MISC and those reimbursements were reported as income. Is this how it should be reported? These purchases were done under their direction, and I submitted documentation.
