10 Favorites: Colorful Accessories for the Kitchen Sink

by Published: May 19, 2016

Dosa designer Christina Kim has an affinity for fuzzy pink sponges that she picks up at bodegas in Mexico. She’s the one who taught us this lesson: Humble kitchen accessories in bright colors can make your heart sing.

Happiness from a scrub brush? More than you can imagine. The Scandinavians have clearly been onto this for some time: Nearly all of our favorite tools for use in and around the sink come from Sweden and Denmark.
