I have a weakness for blue floral patterns—so much so that it's become a part of my identity. My friends will snap photos of purses, vases, and wallpaper that they come across in the wild to share with me.
My Stanley? Blue floral pattern. My phone case and my laptop case? You guessed it. But rather than go overboard, I decided to keep my kitchen full of solid colors. My apron is floral—but I swear that’s it! So, when I saw a beautiful blue floral spoon rest from the Pioneer Woman collection at Walmart, I gave in. It was only $4.74, so it felt like a reasonable treat. I did not anticipate it becoming the best spoon rest I have ever owned.

Why I Love This Spoon Rest
Famous last words, because I had that spoon rest for 12 years! Then, it broke, and I was devastated. I used a folded-up paper towel in the interim... and then I stumbled upon this Pioneer Woman Delilah Spoon Rest .
This item is on another level. For starters, it’s wide, so I'm able to fit multiple utensils on it at once. It’s also flat, which means the utensils don't move around or slide off the sides. Finally, I like that three of the four sides have a raised edge, so it keeps any cooking debris off my countertop.
This Pioneer Woman spoon rest is made of melamine and bamboo, so it’s incredibly sturdy. Even though it’s dishwasher -safe, I was a little uneasy about how the materials and print were going to hold up if I popped it in there. However, I’ve had mine for almost a year— and I wash it multiple times a week—but it still looks brand-new. There's no fading, scratches, or scuff marks.
The spoon rest is lightweight, sturdy, durable, and fits neatly next to my stovetop for easy access. Being able to lay multiple cooking utensils on it at once has truly been a game-changer in the kitchen. For just $4.74, I have clean countertops, and I get to stare at a beautiful blue floral pattern while I cook.
