Melissa McCarthy's kitchen countertops feature an idiosyncratic accessory that taps into an emerging '70s trend – and brings unexpected warmth to her space

If you love to cook, chances are, you listen to music while doing it. It's a trope so ubiquitous that films are full of couples dancing around the kitchen to jazz, heroines depression-baking to sad songs, or meal prepping to aggressive drum beats.

The record player sits to the left of her stovetop, just far enough away to avoid oil splatters, but close enough to fill her ears with music while cooking at the stove. She stores her collection of Vinyl records on the left of the player, creating a pop of color against her white backsplash.
