Off to Market Recap: Everyday Tablecloth

partysugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:50:42 -0700

For the past two years I lived without a kitchen table. But, I've recently moved and I'm very excited because my new kitchen is big enough for a small table and four chairs! I found an amazing deal on Craigslist, and I'm the proud owner of a kitchen table. Now that I have a table, I want a pretty tablecloth. Thus, I've rounded up the best cheerful and Spring tablecloths the Internet has to offer. To share them with you, I bookmarked them in the Off to Market group in the YumSugar Community. My favorite tablecloth is this light-colored ikat-printed one by Horchow. It fits in with the Moroccan-inspired look of my studio apartment. For more tablecloths, browse the collection below.

Off to Market Recap: Kitchen Island

partysugar — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 06:50:03 -0800

As you all know, I just moved. In my new kitchen, there's a large space between the fridge and cabinets. If I leave it empty, it will be wasted space, but if I get a portable work station, it will be more counter space! I asked you to help me search the Internet for the best kitchen islands. When you found an island, you bookmarked it in the Off to Market group in the YumSugar Community. Since there's only one drawer in my kitchen, I'm looking for an island that doubles as a storage unit. I'm absolutely in love with this island from Bed Bath & Beyond.

It has two drawers, a cupboard, and cabinet meaning I can store kitchen utensils, pots, and baking pans - and at $249, it's not too expensive. Check out all the islands below.

Off to Market Recap: Cheese Grater

partysugar — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 06:50:48 -0800

My current cheese grater is in a direly sad state. At the start of its life, it was attached to a handy plastic container that held the shredded cheese. But this container went into the kitchen black hole and has long since been forgotten. The blades are worn, the handle is cracked, and it's high time I put this tool out to pasture.

That's why I asked you to help me find a new one! You searched the Internet and bookmarked your favorite graters in the Off to Market group in the YumSugar Community. Check out the grater that Lauren has. It's a Microplane Better Box Grater that she absolutely loves: "the grips on the bottom prevent it from slipping and it has plenty of different grating types for me."

Sounds like I should take her advice and invest in this grater. Thanks Lauren! Browse all the cheese graters below.
