The Ten Cutest Kitchen Accessories!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

 Even if you’re not a kitchen geek like me, you’ve gotta agree that having your very own kitchen for the first time is exciting. To say I’ve been looking forward to having my own kitchen would be a huge understatement- as an avid baker, I am THRILLED to finally have one I can call my very own!

 
I’ve spent the last months spending far too many hours searching for the cutest accessories for my paradise, fueling my obsession with all things cute and kitchen-y! Here are 10 of my favorites!

 

1. Hello Kitty Toaster, $19.99, Target

Everyone needs a toaster, right? So why not make it a super adorable one? 
 

 

           2. Cutensils Cutlery Set, $29.99, Modcloth

            I have this Cutlery set in my kitchen, and I adore it! 

 

3. Cupcake Kitchen Timer, $12.99, Perpetual Kid

I love all things cupcake-related, and if you don’t have a timerattached to your microwave, invest in this one. This site is thebomb.com. 
 
 

 

  4. Measure Your Love Measuring Cups, $14, FredFlare.com

A super cute measuring cup set from FledFlarewould be the perfect addition to your kitchen. 

 

5. Shake Your Towel-Feather Paper Towel Dispenser,
$22.99, Modcloth

Paper towels are essential for a kitchen, so why not spruce it up with this cute dispenser? The only improvement I would make is for the bird to chirp at you!
 

  6. Vintage Yellow Canisters, $40, Etsy

 

 Etsy is a great place to find vintage accessories
 for your kitchen, and these canisters are no exception.
 Add a little sun to start your morning. 
 

7. Cuisinart 7 Speed Hand Mixer,
$49.99, Bed, Bath & Beyond

 

This is essential, even if you don’t do much baking or cooking. It’s a pretty great price too!
 


 

  8. Vintage Mod Flor
al Snack Trays
,

  $28, Vintage Looks

 

  These would be great for eating on the couch,
  or on your bed. As someone who has spilled
  many a meal on my bed, I can tell you that
  these really come in handy.
 


9. Apple A Day Salt & Pepper Shakers, $9.99, Urban Outfitters

How cute are these?! Not sure how effective they
would be as shakers, but they would certainly
add some whimsy to your kitchen.
 

10. Multicolored 4-Piece Paring Knife Set, $10, Amazon.com

 
Now, as a Cutco girl, I’m slightly shocked at myself to be recommending these knives, but they’re just so cute! I love the multicolored handles. For $10, they’re a good deal for a starter kitchen.
