Decor & Dishware
Plates, bowls, kitchen towels, utensils, cups, mugs, etc.

I have these in both blue and pink. They are a softer fabric and dry well!

Not super heavy, but not light and cheap looking. Classic, simple glasses that come in a pack with two sizes.

My knife set! Self-sharpening and not a total eyesore on the counter!
Henckels Graphite 14-pc Self-Sharpening Block Set - Brown
The older I get, the more I learn that butter on your counter isn’t a universal thing?! It’s a necessity for me though, so here’s what I keep it in!
Cambria Stoneware Butter Dish
Seating
Barstools + Dining Chairs
My kitchen barstools are one of the most complimented items in my house. They have a nice cushion and can match a lot.
Faux Leather Woven Counter Height Bar Stool Brown
These chairs are classic + simple, and cushions could easily be added to them as well.
Set of 2 Windsor Dining Chair Black - Threshold™: Hardwood Frame, Non-Upholstered, Vintage Farmhouse Style
Hardware
My kitchen has all gold hardware, but in various sizes to be proportionate to cabinet heights and drawer lengths.
I used the longer pull for my tall upper cabinets & my drawers. I’ve had them for a year with no issues!

Storage + Organization
And for my favorite part: how to keep everything nice + orderly.
My pantry, my pride & joy 😂 Keeps food sealed and no labels needed because you can see right inside.
OXO Good Grips POP 10-pc. Container Set
Pot lid organizer that stretches and shrinks easily depending on how many lids you want to fit in a section.
VARIERA Pot lid organizer - stainless steel
My spice/seasoning holder! I prefer the low one because I don’t have a super tall shelf, so I don’t have to lift the container as high to get them over the edge.
11" Low Plastic Lazy Susan Turn Table Clear - Brightroom™: Kitchen Cabinet Organizer, Polyethylene, Stainless Steel
Misc.
Because we all have a kitchen junk drawer and/or a fridge front full of invites, photos, reminders, etc.
Super tiny fridge magnets for the minimalist look. I’m currently loving these for putting up my Christmas cards and polaroids.
60pcs Small Round Magnets for Fridge & Crafts
Lighting
My lighting splurge. I eyed these up for months before I saw a sale! I have two hanging above my island in aged brass.

My dining room light fixture to go along with the globe pendant lights above my island. They match so well!
