I found this image hiding in my computer this morning, and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you. Fair warning: I don’t know where it came from or anything else about it. All I know that this pink and green room is awesome.

You probably already know I love pink decor. And if you read Manolo for the Brides, you know I’m a huge fan of pink and green weddings. This room is like a distillation of some of my favorite things. Would I want to live there full time? Maybe, maybe not. Is it cheerful and bright and fun? Oh God, yes.

When I lived in Berlin back in the day, the tiny kitchen we had in our otherwise massive flat contained a refrigerator that was orange. I mean bright orange. None of this white, cream, black, or stainless bunk for the Germans. Though I can’t recall if our stove was equally colorful, I can remember being surprised and delighted by the orange refrigerator that complemented our orange kitchen. That room in particular could easily be described as retro-modrn, and that was just the built-ins!

It’s a shame that the only places selling very colorful kitchen appliances here in the States seem to be Big Chill and Northstar. And then, of course, they’re quite expensive and really only work if you’re a fan of retro kitchen appliances.

I do like them, but wouldn’t it be nice if some of the European kitchen appliance manufacturers would decide to sell to us here in the U.S. of A. so we could all have colorful refrigerators and stoves without having to opt for retro kitchen appliances. Of course, everything would still be quite expensive, but at least there would be some variety beyond the usual four-color palette!
