LoveShackFancy Aprons

You know how when you get a cute activewear set, it makes you want to work out? Well, these LoveShackFancy aprons for Hedley & Bennett make me want to cook a five-course meal. They’re inspired by vintage aprons but have modern functionality like adjustable straps, pockets and a loop for a towel. The only problem is, the sweet floral patterns are almost too pretty to wipe my hands on. Also, don’t even get me started on the options for little ones.

Rebecca Udall Tabletop

The next time you’re in the market for table linens or pretty glassware, bookmark Rebecca Udall’s website. We hosted two back-to-back dinners this past week and I used several of her beautiful pieces including this sweet ruffle gingham linen tablecloth, these Murano glass tumblers, and these basket weave plates in cobalt blue. Rebecall Udall is the one-stop shop for all things entertaining. The only thing left to do is actually cook up something worthy of being served on all of these beautiful pieces.

Compact Drawer Organizer

As a frequent tablescaper (yes, it’s a word, no, don’t look it up) I often get asked how I keep all of our china and flatware organized. For flatware, I rely on drawer organizers like these from Joseph Joseph. I can fit an entire set of flatware in one of these and keep them lined up in a pantry drawer. They have a ton of storage solutions to maximize space all over your house, so we don’t have to stop at knives. Who’s ready to organize their cosmetics next? (Not me.)

Shutterfly Melamine Plates

Most people think of photo albums when they think of Shutterfly, but given their insanely adorable collection of picnic essentials as recently displayed in this post, I’m starting to think of them more as a décor company that moonlights in pictures. As discussed, I’m stocking up on their melamine plates for summer picnics and beach days. These plates are scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe and honestly, way better than the pricier “designer” alternatives I’ve tried. With over a thousand patterns to choose from (you read that right), there’s something for every season, every holiday, everyone! I mean, how can I even call it…

European Brass Spice Mill

This European Brass Spice Mill from Meridian is a stunning addition to any kitchen. I was lucky enough to snag one on their most recent restock and could not love it more. With this spice mill on my table, I look like a world-class chef—even if I’m just seasoning Coco’s macaroni and cheese. They’re handmade in Greece and are designed to grind peppercorns and coarse salt, rather than smash them, to maximize the spice’s natural flavor. For the chefs in the room, you have the option of choosing between a coarse and a fine grind. It’s definitely worth getting your…

Vitamix Blending Cup Accessories

In my home, we praise the almighty Vitamix. We use it for just about everything under the sun: morning smoothies, soups, dressings, sauces, the list is endless. That being said, the blending cup accessory has totally changed the Vitamix game for me, especially when it comes to making protein shakes and smoothies because you can cut out the hassle of washing the large pitcher by using this blending cup accessory. The cup is dishwasher safe, attaches directly to the Vitamix base and comes with a spill-proof lid making it perfect for making smoothies around curious toddlers. I often make a…

Scalloped Coffee Mugs

Sometimes you just need a little more charm with your morning beverage, what can I say? These scalloped coffee mugs by Southern Living honestly look like they belong in a dollhouse but I’m thrilled they are large enough for the dose of caffeine I require. Obviously these are incredible for entertaining, but affordable enough for everyday use as well. There’s also a full suite of scalloped table essentials, should you wish to build a cohesive set.

In The Roundhouse

I recently discovered In The Roundhouse and it was such a breath of fresh air when it comes to setting the table. Everything is whimsical yet chic and amazingly affordable for the quality. Many of their pieces are on sale here at Saks, and there are even more options to explore here. A set of their wave plates in all four colors just arrived at our house and I plan to use them to create a colorfully mis-matched table for Liza’s upcoming first birthday party dinner.
