Guest Picks: Have a Spring Fling at Mealtime
Bring bright color and lively patterns to your kitchen and outdoor entertaining spot with these 20 cheery finds
Spring has sprung! And so has my need to break out the fresh colors and get ready for entertaining al fresco — or with the windows slightly cracked, depending on the weather. Below are a few of my favorite pieces that I’ve bookmarked with hopes of them appearing in my kitchen and entertaining rotation before summer. With bright colors and lively patterns, these are seasonal celebrations in object form! — Kristin from Dine X Design

Madrid Oil Bottle
Warmer nights mean more salads. So it’s time to step up my homemade-dressing game and reward my efforts with this daring little glass number.
Geo Melamine Bowl
Speaking of more salads, how fun is this colorful serving bowl? I need this and a picnic table stat.
Nud Cord Lighting, Base Concrete, Empire Yellow

Jenny Pennywood Tea Towel
My tea towel obsession continues. I think the change in seasons is a perfectly reasonable excuse for this black and white beauty.

You won’t have to worry about breaking these enamelware glasses when entertaining outdoors. Color and durability: a win-win.
Confetti Bowl
This tiny speckled bowl would look lovely on the counter featuring fresh berries and peppers from the garden. It’s like a work of art for your produce.
