11 Things I Bought for Our Kitchen (Decor and Organization)

We’re still waiting on some of the final finishing details in our kitchen (so if you spot anything that doesn’t look finished, don’t worry!). I’ve been trying to finalize some paint colors for the painters so I’ve been working on that, but meanwhile, I couldn’t wait to pull out a few things I’ve stashed away for our kitchen! I’ll share a few of them today!

The good news is we will probably be able to “move in” to the kitchen this week, even though there will still be some details to finish as well as projects still going on around the house (such as our deck, living room / mudroom / entry / stairwell paint, new wood stair treads and flooring upstairs, plus the Tiny Cottage!).

If you’ve missed any my last remodel update you can see that here.

I’m guessing we’re a few weeks out from the contractors being officially “done” and then of course, more fun parts will begin for me! I can’t wait to decorate and put plants in our garden :). I’ve been collecting some vintage dishes that I can’t wait to display in the kitchen and have even bought a few plants for the backyard.

Today I’ll share some of the items I brought in last week and I’ll share the vintage items once I get them in the kitchen.

Blue Hobnail Glasses /// Sage Hobnail Glasses

1. Hobnail Drinking Glasses

We needed new drinking glasses and I couldn’t resist these beauties! I’ve always loved hobnail design and the colors were perfect. They look like seaglass! I decided to get a combination of the blue and the sage colors.

2. Over the Sink Roll Up Dish Drying Rack

This is such a clever drying rack, it works with our farmhouse sink and will be handy when we want to hand wash items or just need to set something, maybe a towel or plant or anything that needs to drip dry! It rolls up and can be stashed away when not in use.

Natural Wood Dish Brush // Dark Brown Wood Dish Brush

3. Wood Dish Brushes

I always love having wood brushes in the kitchen, I couldn’t decide which one to get so I got both a natural and dark brown.

Natural Marble Tray

4. Marble Tray

We use small trays like this all the time, so I knew we’d love this one. This is marble, another I’ll share below is resin.

Woven Rattan Trays

6. Woven Rattan Trays

We bought these woven rattan trays to be able to carry food or plates upstairs during the remodel. They are wonderful, so sturdy and just the right size. We’ll use these all the time for serving, so they will be a great addition to our kitchen.

Plate Holder Easel Display Stand // Sailboat Plates

7. Plate Holder Easel Display Stands

I was looking for easel style stands to be able to display plates, platters or books. At first I thought the finish on these would be too bright, but once the plate is on it, they are really pretty! I bought a bunch more in a couple of sizes.

8. Sailboat Appetizer Plates

My husband bought me these darling sailboat appetizer plates locally (but we found them online here, too!). I will use them at the table but they will also be adorable for decor. We can’t wait to mix and match all of our pretty dishes to display (and use!) in this kitchen. Stay tuned for another post on that!

Bamboo Drawer Organizer Set of 5 // Long Bamboo Drawer Organizers (stackable)

9. Bamboo Drawer Organizers

I found these bamboo drawer organizers that come in a variety of sizes so you can mix and match to fit your needs. I can’t wait to get our drawers organized! I got this set of 5 in different shapes, and a set of 2 long dividers that can stack (see photos below).

10. Tray Organizer

These will be handy to set up cookie sheets or baking pans in a cabinet!

11. Patterned Animal Bowls

I love these little bowls I had shared in my recent “pretty kitchen accessories” post! We use little bowls for all kinds of things, so I knew these would get a lot of use. They come in a set of 4 with a bunny, frog, bee and squirrel (2 reddish bowls and 2 blue).
