10 Things We Wish We Had in Our Kitchens for this Thanksgiving
While we may love our kitchens 364 days out of the year (and we don’t mean to sound un-thankful), there’s nothing like the biggest feast of 2016 to suddenly make them seem utterly inadequate. There’s not nearly enough counter space, our tiny sinks fit approximately two dishes, and we consider ourselves lucky if our minuscule ovens have enough room to roast a turkey. To make ourselves feel better (we hope), we’ve rounded up 10 #kitchengoals that fulfill our wildest Thanksgiving dreams.
A giant farmhouse sink perfectly sized for stacking huge piles of post-feast dishes.
We love how the pretty white porcelain one above, spotted on Elle Decoration’s blog Krickelin, pairs with the subtle gray cabinetry.
