Wedding bells in your future or for someone you love? How about giving (or receiving) a new kitchen? OK, it’s a bit more than a toaster, but pool together with enough friends and relatives and you could contribute toward a truly memorable gift of a dream kitchen — or pantry — or bath — or wine room.

Christopher Peacock, one of Traditional Home’s favorite kitchen designers, has just launched a gift and bridal registry. Clients are invited to set up a registry for a wedding, birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or any romantic occasion or holiday celebration. After emailing  giftregistry@peacockhome.com, customers are contacted about setting up an account. Other friends and family contribute, funds grow, and the lucky couple is on their way to having a fabulous love nest.

Peacock has a line of wonderful paints now, too, so there are lots of fun and affordable possibilities for making a starter home truly spectacular.
