What do you do with YOUR fruit stickers?

I need help finding fun, colorful, but shorter-than-average bar stools

Cutest fridge evar? Kawaii fridge monster stickers

An adorkable, omnom-y kitchen with “spice invaders” and Sonic the hedgehog

Sarah was lovely enough to @ reply us on Pinterest about her adorkable kitchen moment. And look how good it looks in the kitchen (PLUS: is this our nerdiest fridge feature yet?)

Use lab-grade test tubes as your spice rack

Apparently this is what your spice rack looks like when you’re a scientist who loves to cook — test tubes and a lab grade test tube spice rack!
