Your kitchen is one of the areas in your home that you spend a decent amount of time in every day. Now, since open-plan living has become the norm, it is more important than ever to have a presentable kitchen. Whilst entertaining the kitchen will often develop into a hub of chatter and food preparation. I really enjoy shopping for kitchenware as there are just so many relatively cheap and beautiful things to choose from. Give your kitchen a little facelift with these under R200 bargain beauties…

These gorgeous “embossed” glasses are from Poetry for R35.00 each. Dainty and nostalgic.

Interchange the embossed glasses with these Woolworths beautiful wave tumblers – R39.95 each

This post was supposed to be “Kitchen Accessories Under R100” until I saw this beautiful stoneware salt keeper from Le Creuset for R190 on Yuppie Chef.

This gorgeous chopping board is made out of solid Kiaat. Available at Weylandts in various sizes – from R99.00. They also have a larger solid Acacia chopping board for R199.00

I love this beautiful mix-and-match cake fork set. Cake forks can be quite collectable and an interesting assortment can be cleverly displayed for a functional and decorative feature. These pretties are also from Mr. Price Home @ R129.99

How could I not include a little Skinny LaMinx loveliness! This gorgeous blue teacups dishcloth is R95.00

This Retro washing powder tin is available at Mr. Price Home for R99.99

This cute teapot-shaped teabag holder is from Quirky Me for 60 Bucks. Isn’t it just adorable? You can also keep it next to your stove to place your messy utensils on while cooking. Or even on your serving tray for all the used teaspoons.
