3. Ironstone Pitchers - you could use one as a vase for flowers or to hold utensils

4. Marble Counters - although they stain, the look has been popular for ages and they're heat-resistant and chip-resistant

5. Subway Tile - currently white subway tiles with dark grout is a popular look, but the tiles themselves have been popular for years

7. Dove White Paint - use it on walls or cabinets; Designer Thomas Pheasant is fan of using it "for brightening spaces"

8. Cast Iron Cookware - think of Lodge frying pans and Le Creuset dutch ovens
