And they're all on sale this Cyber Monday, just in time for hosting season
Full disclosure, dear readers: I don't have a walk-in pantry, a prep kitchen, or much storage space in my small apartment kitchen. Every kitchen essential has to sit on my countertops, staring back at me in dismay, which is why I am constantly out to find beautiful and practical pieces — in hopes of sprucing up my humble abode.
Luckily, I do have an eye for the stylish, the must-show-off, and the well-priced. So, ahead of the holidays, I'm bringing those skills to my kitchen and to your carts and sharing the best home deals I'm eyeing this Cyber Monday with you before hosting begins.
After all, who says practical can't be pretty or that functional can't be fabulous? Not me, that's for sure.
