Guest Picks: Coral Kitchen Accessories

Coral is my favorite hue right now, and I think that it’s just ideal for the kitchen. It is invigorating, hot and appetizing all at one time! Fortunately for me, it’s also on trend, therefore I can shop easily for stunning coral accents to decorate my kitchen and dining room. Listed below are my favorite finds. — Marie out of Food Nouveau
