Guest Picks: Catch Spring Fever in the Kitchen and on the Table
Let zingy colors, budding plants and more freshen your cooking and eating spaces to match the new season
I realize that most of the nation is still battling snow flurries and wading through the streets in their Wellies, but I've got springtime on the noggin — and in feverish proportions! It's been so sunny around these parts that I've forgotten we're only just a few months into the year. (I'm not trying to rub in my perfect weather, promise.)
Spring cleaning, redecorating projects and potting new plants have been taking up my free time, and I've bookmarked a few items for my kitchen and tabletop that sing the spring sound louder than a newly hatched chick. Let's bud some new life into our spaces with fresh spring-inspired design! — Kristin from The Cuisinerd

Fix Herb Pot
Sagaform can do no wrong. I love every collaboration and every product they put on the market. This indoor herb system is absolutely gorgeous. A tip of my hat to you again!
Santa Fe Table Runner by Avril Loreti
Even the smallest update to your tabletop can really transform your whole dining experience. This runner is a party waiting to happen, and I think there's no signs of it stopping any time soon. Olé!
Mineral Magnet Set
I'm a magpie at heart. Shiny objects, glitter and gemstones are my collectible weaknesses, and these rock magnets are so bright and fun that they must be put on my fridge immediately. Talk about the must-have appliance accessory.
Garden Mister
I recently stumbled upon this mighty wonder, and boy has my green thumb improved. Since bringing it home, my terrariums and Tillandsias have sprung back to life, and I will no longer be responsible for drowning the houseplants to death. Hooray!
Dodecahedron Terrarium
Speaking of terrariums — I'm obsessed. One-in-every-room kind of obsessed. I love the geometric structure of this container, and it's making me think that I might just need one more for my collection.
Happy Peas & Grumpy Carrot Tea Towel
Tea towels have always been my way of adding "artwork" to my kitchen. I've got a collection of geometric patterns, colorful splashes and, uh, humorous threads. Oh cranky carrot, how you make me giggle.
Salt Bird
I've resisted adding a salt cellar to my kitchen for a while now. I try to make most of the little counter space that I have. This little fella is making that reality cave quicker than a BOGO sale at whosey-whats-its, and I think I'll be clearing up some space for him today.
French Carafe + Stacking Glasses
Does this decanter and glass set not scream "meet me on the patio for iced tea and magazines"? This is a lazy Sunday that I need in my life, stat.
Giant Dipped Jar
I have a problem with the paint-dipped trend — as in, I really want it everywhere in my life, and I've got to hold myself back a little here. If I could choose one item to showcase this style, it would be, hands down, this glass vase. I've got some budding tree branches that would love to make a little home in there.
Kitchen Towel with Stripes
Nothing says spring like fresh starts. I'm adding fresh linens to that list as well. Hello, lovelies!
Flamingo & Anniversary Rose Side Plate
I would love to start a collection of plates that will leave guests surprised after they've finished their salads. This one is going on top of that wish list.
Futura Seder Plate
This plate transports me to Palm Springs, a pool and a need for appetizers under an umbrella.
Imperial Cheese Knives
Just add a blanket, a grassy space and a bottle of rosé — oh, and cheese, definitely several kinds of cheese.
Floral Italian Wineglasses
Oh hello, deco floral glass set! It's so chic and so affordable that you might as well just go and order two sets.
Contemporary Outdoor Lounge Chairs
I can see many weekends spent swinging from this swanky outdoor seat. Set me up with a little shade and a lemonade, and you'll have one happy little lady.
February Teapot by Yellena James
My morning tea ritual will not be ending once the chill of winter dissipates. How could it when served in such a fanciful teapot? This is quite the steeping stunner.
Geometric Napkins
Get those skewers on the grill and put some ice in the sangria. These retro napkins are ready to get the afternoon shakin'!
Citrus Juicer
The oranges are almost ready to pick, and this handsome devil is going to juice them up in style. This is officially going to become my main squeeze.
