Enter for a Chance to Win Flag Conversion Towels by Priya Krishna in Contests, November 25th, 2012
This flag conversions towel is both super stylish and handy in the kitchen. It has a simple but sophisticated black-and-white kitchen print on the back and common measurement conversions on the front that will make the often unnerving task of converting between cooking units a snap. They add a touch of elegance to any kitchen and make the perfect gift for a busy host or hostess (it’s a great stocking-stuffing).

I have a shelf over the sink with pretty coffee mugs to bright up my morning
I use glass jars to store bulk foods like flours, oats, nuts, dried fruit, etc. My pantry looks so lovely and the kids can see everything when they are hungry.
Like others here, I agree un-cluttering is best thing. Beyond that, scent is that just-right extra touch. Simmering some cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange peel or what-have-you makes everything home-y and warm even if I'm not cooking at the time.
Having some herbs growing brightens up the kitchen and they can also smell good,
I always keep a large cast iron enameled pot on my stove. It is my favorite piece. I also have some cool art on my kitchen walls.
To my kitchen I like to add new things for the seasons/holidays. I am working on having all my things match. I love the orange tangerine color and of course working to get everything to match that.
A fruit bowl with fresh fruits, a vase with flowers, and a clean counter top bring color, texture and a clean fresh scent to the kitchen.a glass of wine always helps as well :)
I have a bright and cheerful curtain in my window.
I Love Christmas Smells. A simmering pot of water and a couple of cinnamon sticks fills our home with a lovely scent :)
I like to show off my spices – I have 4 different arrangements: a typical rack, stacked clear cylinders, test tubes, and a Masala Dabba (thanks to Aarti).
