Counter Chic: Back In The Kitchen

With the days getting shorter and the nights longer, it seems that I am back in the kitchen, more than usual.  This scenario will continue as the autumn holidays unfold. The heart of our homes should be a place to gather, cook, and entertain....with style. What kind of kitchen keeper are you?  Do you like to have all of your utensils handy, or organized and put away? Some of us like to display everything and others like a chic clean counter. I fall into the latter. Here's inspiration on how to get that look. Many of these items also make stylish
 host gifts, too.

Dualit Toasters

With a toaster this luxe, I may be tempted to leave it on the counter. But if gold isn't your thing, you'll love all of the other haute hues. And besides just looking good, it is one heck of a terrific toaster.
