I think I may have posted this photo last year... it's from a hotel in Charlotte. I think this photo may be one of the first moments I began to consider orange in my kitchen. Or maybe not.
I do know one thing that was a deciding factor for me.
THIS!!!
So.... I went back Monday and offered them my best price.
AND THEY ACCEPTED!!!!
DONE DEAL!!!
It's mine and I'm determined to find a place for it in my kitchen.
Anywhere.
I don't care where.
Hang it from the ceiling... I DON'T CARE.
IT'S MINE!!
I DON'T CARE IF I'M A DORK.
IT'S MINE!!!!!
I am oh so deeply and madly and out of control in love with orange and you may be thinking, "GOOD LORD! She's fallen into a 1970's time warp machine, is stuck in there and probably won't find her way out. I'd better go in and save her."
*voice from the tunnel says*
"Please don't. I'm loving it in here."
*as she rolls around in olive green shag carpet*

Enjoy...a blast from the past is perfectly legal!!!
OMG....I love it, too!!!! I wonder what that says about me? Then again, I am 'crazy as a loom', so perhaps I can get away with it. Not sure what you are going to do though.
But yes, yes, yes......find a place anyplace and decorate your kitchen around it!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was worth every penny.
You were MOVED.
I LOVE orange and the enamel set you got is gorgeous!
I know where we can pick up a harvest gold refrigerator to go along with your 70's theme ;)
I love the utensil set - what a find! Very unique.
Congrats on obtaining "your beloved." ;) Thanks for my morning laugh, Di. :)
I think it's cutting edge...orange is the new yellow! How cute it will be...when I first saw your post of those enamelware utensils, I called my sister who is deciding on a kitchen color and I said she should go with orange! It's fun and cheery.
You would have loved the orange kitchen sink we had when I was growing up. It was knock your socks off, screaming orange! Too bad we sold the place and moved to central Missouri.
You're too funny. I'm glad you went back for it. Orange is beginning to appeal to me more an more these days.. thanks for sharing yours. :)
Yes, Sissy, you are a dork. But you know I love orange so it's perfectly understandable. OMG, remember our living room in Iowa? The furniture, the carpet? I recently found one of Mom's round glass orange ashtrays! Ha! How's that for cool?
That is pretty cool you have to admit. No matter where you put it it will surely pop!!
This was hilarious! I remember the purple, orange and brown haze of the 1970s.. but this kitchen stuff is kind of cool!
Ah..a girl after my own heart. But please tell me you don't have olive shag carpet?
Oh, I'm SO glad you went back and got that! I've been loving that thing since I first saw it!
And your 'Harvest Gold' appliances!!
I love your love of orange Di! I love orange! I have some more orange to blog about. I am so happy you went back and purchased the orange enamel utensil set, very cool :) Waiting for pictures of it new home!
I've been drawn to things in shades of green lately. The orange enamel utensil set is really pretty. It will make a perfect focal point for your kitchen.
New to your blog. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville NC....
Love the orange!! LOVE IT!
I like this too.
But not the olive green shag carpet.
Di, LOVE your blog! And I also love the color orange:) Following now and I thank you for visiting my blog!(which is how I found you)

I love the orange but please just say no to the avocado green.
Well I've been loving orange for about a year now and I still love it. It started with my orange Kitchenaid. I even bought a vintage orange velvet sofa. I loooovee orange and aqua! Nice to meet a fellow orange lover.

I can tell that you are happy that the enamel set is now yours. I'm happy that the set had not been purchased before you could go back and buy it!
It's always so fun to find something we love and bring it home. I seem to go through stages with house stuff and lately I've been unmotivated. (Briefcase is probably grateful for that!)
Well, Sweetcakes...it's like this. I say if you love it...make it yours! I had enough of orange back in the days you meniton..but I still love it..mine just sorta morphed into orange.
I also think that kitchen tool set is fantastic! I LOVE it! Orange, purple, Kahki..who cares...that set is cute in any color. And...orange is hot right now...but...I am not so sure about rolling around in that green shag carpet. Sure you don't want me to come in there and get you...you sound in need of a possible "intervention"...but...
maybe not.
Enjoy!

Oh, that's awesome Di! So glad it's YOURS!! It's kinda funny. The day after I saw your orange one here, I was looking through one of my magazines, Romantic Homes, I think, and there was a white one! I'd never seen those before. Super cool- I think you're safe about the 70's thing. I bet it's way earlier than the 70's.
I was in TJ Maxx yesterday and saw a display filled with lots of orange enamel kitchen goodies...thought of you!
