1. Peel-and-stick wallpaper to transform your refrigerator and other boring appliances into funky accent pieces. This wallpaper is steam- and moisture-resistant, so go ahead and slap it on the dishwasher, too.
2. A spoon rest for addressing the question, "Where do I put this ladle in between stirs?" once and for all. This spoon rest's stoneware construction makes it durable and long-lasting — and it's dishwasher-safe, so it's easier to keep clean than your stove top.
3. A Brita on-faucet filtration system to make getting great-tasting water as easy as turning on the tap.
4. An oversized carved wood tray which — hear me out — you can hang on your range hood so it doesn't look quite so industrial. Or, y'know, use it to serve and display stuff if you're into that kind of thing.
5. A cute valance curtain to brighten up your window and mood.
6. Pendant ceiling lamps that'll bring a minimalist look and focused lighting to your counter space, or makeshift operating table. (Teddy needs his eye sewn back on!)
7. An over-cabinet door storage basket/trash can to free up some space elsewhere — and to hide your baking disasters from judge-y eyes.
8. A kitchen island for additional counter space, storage, and opportunities to show off your great taste in bowls.
9. A small jute rope basket to serve as a cozy way to cover your coffee machine when you're not using it — should that ever happen. Of course, the handles at the top make it convenient for carrying the coffee maker or what-have-you around your home, too.
10. Themed artwork that'll complement the framed picture of a TV you have in the living room (kidding...maybe?). This print is framed in wood and ready to hang.
11. A chambray apron to protect your formalwear from foodstuffs and spills. (What, you don't cook in a tuxedo?!) Adjustable straps and 100% cotton will keep you comfortable and clean.
12. A clear glass vase (or three) that'll add a touch of whatever — coffee beans, dried flowers, fairy lights, actual fairies — to your space.
13. Bar stools to give looky-loos a place to perch while you're preparing dinner. These wooden counter stools have curved saddle seats and come in natural, black, and brown.
14. Backsplash wallpaper that'll give your kitchen more of a farmhouse look and less of a Jackson Pollock splatter painting look.
15. A kitchen rug to bring a cheerful vibe to your food prep space. This rug's medium-pile construction makes it easy to clean, plus its nonskid latex backing makes it hard to slide around on your hardwood floor.
16. A bar cart for...coffee stuff! This metal, wood, and leather cart is attractive, sturdy, and very mobile, but not appropriate for scooting your kids or pets in.
17. An under-cabinet light to showcase how clean your counters are. This wireless LED light comes with a remote to control the level of brightness and to set "off" timers.
18. A stainless-steel trashcan with removable inner buckets that'll make sorting and taking out the garbage and recycling easier than dumping everything out onto the floor and picking out the bottles. This stylish can features odor filters to neutralize the smell of day-old banana peels, among other olfactory assaults.
19. An espresso maker for when you just can't go back to the coffee shop where your ex works. This machine accommodates single shots, double shots and easy-serving espresso pods and has a cappuccino system with a manual frother for lattes and other milky concoctions.
20. A set of matching mixing bowls to replace the rando assortment of plastic containers you've been using up 'til now.
21. A knife set for most if not all of your cutting needs.
22. An automatic can opener to replace the hand-operated opener, Swiss Army knife, or Popeye-strong forearms you've been using. This model features one-touch operation, though that doesn't include the touches necessary to put the can on or take it off the opener.
23. A hand blender for making smoothies, milkshakes, soups, and more. Think of it as a magic wand, and its magic is turning solids into liquids. This model has a variable-speed trigger switch for flexibility and control, plus a removable pan guard to help protect your cookware from overenthusiastic blending.
24. A sink caddy to house your dish brushes and sponges somewhere other than behind the faucet. Four suction cups and a wire ledge hanger form a secure, no-slip grip.
25. A one-touch blender to crush ice, seeds, and frozen ingredients at the touch of a button. It has two preprogrammed settings designed to do the work of making your smoothies — that's less programming for you!
26. A cookware set with pretty much everything you need — plus some stuff you're better off having and not needing than needing and not having. This 22-piece ceramic, nonstick cookware set includes all the essentials, so it's perfect for a new kitchen or to replace all your hand-me-down pots, pans, and implements.
27. An anti-fatigue floor mat so standing at the stove stirring risotto for half an hour doesn't feel like such a slog. This thick, durable mat is made with ergo foam that will not bottom out — unlike that memory foam pillow you've been standing on.
28. A traditional teakettle to pretty up your stovetop and occasionally pour boiling water out of. This teakettle does, in fact, whistle when your water is ready. It also has a stay-cool handle and knob to keep your hands burn-free (hopefully).
29. A Dutch oven for braising meat, cooking soups and stews, and, yes, baking sourdough bread. This enameled cast-iron pot is oven-safe to 500 degrees F.
30. A roll-out caddy to give your condiments a fun little ride in and out of the fridge.
31. A utensil set that'll ensure all your kitchen tools match and aren't lost somewhere in between the stove and the refrigerator. This 30-piece set includes a cutting board, corkscrew, measuring cups, tongs — even a pizza cutter!
