My husband and I do a fun (well, fun for me) little bit each year during the doldrums of March where he says something like, “It’s almost spring! Winter is leaving!” And I respond by reminding that in NYC, it doesn’t get consistently warm out until mid-May. The groundhog's “six more weeks of winter” is a gross underestimation. (If you live in Los Angeles and it’s been 80 degrees and sunny, I really don’t want to hear it. Good for you—how’re the bagels there?)

As I trudge through late winter’s interminable gray, I rely on pretty little things to brighten my days. So shopping and reviews writer Alaina Chou’s stylish curation of beautiful, whimsical kitchen decor, tools, and tabletop items came at the perfect time.

BY ABBEY STONE

I’m willing to bet you didn’t think you needed a spoon shaped like a swan—but once you lay eyes on this mother of pearl cutie, you'll change your mind.

Alaina Chou’s Winter Kitchen Edit is filled with such items; ones you haven’t been coveting only because you didn’t know they exist. Frosty blue salt and pepper shakers, a burnt umber butter dish emblazoned with a starburst, linen napkins embroidered with mushrooms…

And her picks are more than nice to look at: They’re useful too. A Dansk ceramic butter warmer, for instance, “is perfect for making small-batch cocoa, warming syrup for pancakes, or reheating soup,” Alaina says. Genius.
