It's knot a secret, I'm a sap when it comes to timber. Whether it's dipped in candy colors, shining with chrome or unfinished in the buff, there's no beating around the bush: I have a serious case of lumber lust, if you catch my drift. Here are some tree-topping obsessions I'm currently pining over. — Kristin from The Cuisinerd

I've been coveting this salt cellar for months. The color and shape scream vintage, the wood lid sings with style and my kitchen seems incomplete without it. Must. Resist.

| I heart pencils. Do I use them on a daily basis? No. But the smell, the colors, the joy of sharpening — or is that just me? This set of sticks would make a great gift or cheat sheet while solving a cooking-themed crossword puzzle. Private Comment

I'm not quite able to pinpoint my favorite detail on this table brush set — is it the bristles, the beautiful wood or the perfect fit of the brush to the pan? Regardless, cleanup is about to go down in style.

This is rustic and charming, and the use of a canning jar is genius. They even send you a handwritten thank you note with your purchase. Keep it classy, Red Rooster. You know how to do things right.

I can't decide if I want to use these napkin rings on the table or just keep them on display. As a bonus, I won't misplace any pieces in my linen closet of doom.

The moment I laid eyes on this toothpick case I envisioned a stately, well-dressed man full of charm and grace winking at me. Not a bad sight, eh?

Strangely, one of my favorite cooking pastimes is standing in front of the stove sauteing garlic and onions. That smell is nothing but comfort, and my tool of choice is, and will always be, a well-made wooden spoon. I think it's time for an updated look.

As you can tell, I have a soft spot for brightly colored paint mixed with wood — so much so that I'm taking up baking just so I have an excuse to buy this roller. I make a lot of excuses to shop, don't I?

Aren't these baskets genius? They're quirky, colorful and ready to make a debut next to my recycling bin. All the other ordinary baskets are about to be jealous.

Cake stands are — let's cut to the chase here — boring and old fashioned. I never find one worth propping a cake on. This wood stand has a modern rustic twist, will be finding a permanent place in the center of my table and most likely will never be touched by cake.

I'm bringing back the turbine. I'm also bringing back the fondue party because, frankly, this set is amazing. Plus, I love anything covered in chocolate or cheese.

I never understood the need for a butter box until I set my eyes on this handsome item. Quite frankly, I don't need to understand it when it looks this good. I'll take two.
