I am not the best cook in the world, my children will easily vouch for that. Everyday
when dinnertime arrives, I am always surprised that I am the one expected to figure out something nutritious, whip it
up and serve it on a plate. And although the cooking process does not stir my inner muse, a beautiful kitchen does. I
love watching cooking and redecorating shows just for the sole propose of ogling those gorgeous appliances. The classic
stainless steal is smart and quietly whispers class and sophistication.
But I like a splash of color here and there.
Currently I am on a red kick, having just purchased a red Oster toaster oven and a lovely red tea pot. But I am starting to see orange pop up in the color scheme. This is not your horrid, screaming orange of the 1970's era, but rather a whimsical, perky orange that says, "Welcome to the new millennium. Let's cook up some fun cookies!" These orange appliances also have the vintage curves of yesteryear to lend a softer and more comforting feel to the kitchen. Who knows, if I had a kitchen chock full of happy and inviting appliances, I might be more apt to cook dinner in a timely fashion.

I'm not sure what country the poster is from, but I learned on a recent visit to Europe that orange is a popular color. It was everywhere. I haven't seen it used very much in the US though.

Bright orange appliances feels very 70s too me. I thought black was the in color for the kitchen.

Actually, the color orange has been popular since the late 60's especially in Mopar cars with the Hemi orange. The recent revival of the Hemi has brought back the orange color in cars. You see them on Fords, Dodges, VWs, Hondas, etc.
