Guest Picks: Seaside Style for a Landlocked Kitchen
Drop anchor here for tableware and accessories that will make your kitchen coastal cool in the heat of summer
Summer is in full swing and so is the air conditioner. Lately there have been days so unbearable that only ice cubes, popsicles and completely changing out the surrounding decor are the only things managing to beat the heat. Oh wait, is that last part just me? Ahoy! It's time to SOS (save our summer) and load up on refreshingly cool sea-inspired designs to keep the party, or just tonight's dinner, afloat. — Kristin from The Cuisinerd
Boston Warehouse Lobster Claw Oven Mitt
Everyone needs one of these. Really. I'm on a personal mission to make it happen.
Mariner Oval Lamp, Red Hardwire
I love this buoy-inspired pendant light. It would look incredible over a dining nook or prep island.
Oldham + Harper Fish Dishtowel
If I could wallpaper my kitchen with Charlie Harper I would. I'll settle with this poppy fish towel hanging on my fridge.
HomArt Nautical Rope Bottle Opener and Cork Pull, White
This will mix things up if you're knot exactly seaside — at least you can pretend you're on a boat with a brew.
Flags Tea Towel, Alcazar Design
This tea towel makes me feel like I'm coming into port, and there better be hamburgers waiting.
Cobalt Watercolor Glass
This glass is gorgeous and makes me feel like I'm surfing in someplace tropical.

Breakfast just got aquatic. I would choose the pelican as my own personal plate.
Midcentury Fish Plate, Teak Coaster with Cork by Snapshot Vintage
Everyone needs a proper tiki server, and this midcentury stunner is about to swim on home with me.
Medium Baguette Cutting Board
These have been on my wish list for quite some time. They're so simple, have such impact and are always ready for a little beachside charcuterie
Wheel Tea Towel, Alcazar Design
This will steer you straight into a mess-free good time. I love this print so!
Cobalt Jug with Handle
Since I'm on a stripe kick, can I talk about how handsome this is? Iced teas are awaiting.
Pablo Brazo Task Floor Lamp - Pablo Designs
Driftwood gets glam — and so do my towel hooks! These could also be a great DIY idea.
Wave Dinnerware Set
Wave-inspired patterns make every meal feel like an exotic getaway. I love these.
Ocean Melamine Sea Urchin Serving Platter
Sand dollars seem so precious, and this serving dish is no different. It would look stunning year-round.

Talk about being instantly transported to Cabo! These little guys aren't just seasoning up the meal. Olé!
Sailor Apron by Bebe Sucre Online
Just in case the captain needs a sous chef, it's good to always be prepared.
Seagull Print, Blue
This might be the only seagull I want near my food. With five colors available, it could make for a very fun triptych on a kitchen wall.

It'll feel like you're sipping saltwater — kidding! These are super playful and ready to keep summer hanging around all year long.
