Orange the new gray?

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.
