I hate ugly plastic kitchen utensils, but Joanna Gaines' stylish, vintage-inspired alternatives have come to my rescue

Magnolia's copper kitchen utensils double as decor pieces, and they're making me want to replace my entire collection

I've always had a soft spot for copper accents – it's a material that feels naturally warm and refined but also beautifully rustic. But too much can look overwhelming. That's why I've fallen for the copper kitchen utensils from Magnolia as they bring in just the right amount of vintage charm and subtle metallics.

If you've been wondering how to replace black plastic utensils, this is your sign to switch. And if, like me, cluttered kitchen drawers and mismatched utensils make you want to throw everything out and learn how to organize kitchen utensils, this could be a good place to start.

Joanna Gaines' copper kitchen utensils are so pretty that you'll want to leave them out on display all the time. Hang them on the walls, store them in stoneware jars, or display them on open shelving for an authentic look. They'll also be handy to grab as you need (no more hunting through over-filled drawers).

Yes, Joanna Gaines has done it again by creating a dreamy range that is as beautiful as it is useful, including everything from walnut and copper measuring cups to copper sieves and copper biscuit cutters. Just more lovely things to add to my wishlist, along with the pieces I'm coveting from Joanna Gaines' new cooking show.

With hammered brass finishes, walnut wood handles, and brass contrasts, these Magnolia kitchen utensils conjure up images of historic country kitchens with copper ladles, pans, and jelly moulds displayed on the walls, and using them might just make me feel like I'd been transported to the set of Downton Abbey.

These are the pieces that I'll be collecting, and some are even on sale already.

If you, too, have been won over by the joy of copper kitchen accessories, you might be ready to invest in some pans, too. We found this affordable French copper cookware at IKEA and our team have plenty of advice on how to clean copper pans, including a $10 copper cleaner that Martha Stewart swears by.
