Delicious: Kitchen supplies can be adorable, too

One of the grand theories that I have recently embraced is the idea that everything in your life should be not only functional but beautiful. I don't mean that you should get rid of all your ugly friends--unless they are ugly in their souls. What I actually mean is that details matter, and the little things you use every day should make you happy: your toothbrush should be pink, if that is your favorite color; your cell phone should have a ringtone that you downloaded that makes you happy; your soap dish can look like a fish; and your cheese grater, with which you grate fresh and delicious cheese (not that crap that comes pre-shredded in a bag), can be in the shape of an adorable mouse, like the grater from Kim and Jason's Lemonade Stand. Everything you own should be as adorable and cute and as much a pleasure just to have sitting on your counter.

    I agree ! When I got divorced in 2006 and had to buy alot of replacement items(coffee maker, silverware, etc) I was still in the mindset of a wife and buying appropriate things for 2 people. That ended one day when I was trying to make a decision on something and thought.., "hey now, this is for me and if I want to buy everything in red and black(my kitchen colors of choice) I will".... I never looked back.

    I totally agree cool article, this is. And I do like to have little things that make my day. We select make-up, clothes, so why stop there.

    Love any store that's hip to carry the new era in accesories for the house, kitchen, etc.!
