Guest Picks: Have a Spring Fling at Mealtime

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

Graphic Cheese Plate - CAD 45 This cheese platter is perfect for outdoor entertaining. It’s colorful and fun — I’m never going back inside!


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 - $19 Speaking of more salads, how fun is this colorful serving bowl? I need this and a picnic table stat.


Standing Bowl, Large - $110 This candy-colored fruit stand needs to be the star of my kitchen counter.


Hay Color Glass, Red Wine - GBP 24 Cheeky wine hour? Yes, please!


Nud Cord Lighting, Base Concrete, Empire Yellow - GBP 57 Cement accents are making a mark in many kitchens, and I personally like this little detail rather than committing to an entire gray floor.


Jenny Pennywood Tea Towel - $24 My tea towel obsession continues. I think the change in seasons is a perfectly reasonable excuse for this black and white beauty.


Polka Dot Mug - $30 Mornings with coffee for two in these mugs would make it a little easier to get out of bed. They’re so cheerful.


Chen and Kai Cold Cut Coasters - $58 I didn’t know I could fall in love with a coaster. These are divinely eccentric!


Teak Measuring Spoons, Set of 4 - $20 These precious wooden measuring spoons would look lovely tacked up on a spice rack — they’re too good to hide in the drawer.


Walrus Apron - EUR 24.99 Spring means swimming in no time for many, so consider getting in the spirit while cooking as well.


Nate Berkus Patterned Ceramic Tray - $24.99 Simple and fun, this plate would be a great addition to outdoor tableware for casual entertaining.


Pinch Bowls - $4.95 These gold bowls are like tiny treasures and would look so lovely on the table.


PET ES Pendant Lamps, Set of 12 - $6,417 This is so much fun and has so much personality, I might explode!


Vintage Miners’ Bottles - $98 Woven lust continues with these vintage wrapped wine jugs. Whether used for display or picnics on the go, these would be lovely.


Clip Clip Clasps - EUR 4 I’m all about organization. I’m also all about all things organization looking darn good. These clasps would make an opened bag look much more chic.


Tumblers by Falcon Enamelware - GBP 4.99 You won’t have to worry about breaking these enamelware glasses when entertaining outdoors. Color and durability: a win-win.


Ceramic Hooch Jug - $95 There’s nothing like a little moonshine (or iced coffee) poured in style.


Confetti Bowl - $88 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.


Lay All Your Love on Me Coaster - $30.67 Be still, my heart. The color of this wood coaster is moody and elegant. And I love the teardrop shape, which is unusual for a coaster.
