Gimme More Red

May 13, 2014 By Vidya 20 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart  although I actually purchased the Bella® Linea Toaster featured in this post with my own money.  It was not provided to me for this post but I liked the features so much that I bought one.  All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a thing about kitchen counters. I like my counters bare; yes nothing on them, all wiped clean and stark. It’s a habit that I picked up unknowingly while living in a house that was on the market for 3 months. After B moved to VA for his job the kids and I stayed back in NJ and moved only when we sold our NJ home. Out of state relo emergency, two small kids, and a housing bubble meant that the house had to be spanking clean and presentable to sell. Everyday before I left for work I would take everything off the counters, empty the sink, and wipe it down. After repeating this for 3 months I was a convert. Fast forward to 2014 – On any given day you will not find a single appliance on my counter. Luckily in our current home we have loads and loads of cabinets and a walk in pantry. All that storage space gives me ample opportunity to indulge in my bare counter obsession. And then I set eyes on this…………………

I mean, who can say no to this retro beauty?

Gimme More Red

The toaster, part of the BELLA Linea Collection which includes 5 stylish appliances is available exclusively at Walmart.

With the bold color, horizontal lines, and funky styling the Bella Linea toaster looks straight out of the 70’s. Hello retro! I also love that it is a huge upgrade from our basic toaster in terms of functionality. I especially like that it has;

  • Extra wide slots
  • Defrost feature
  • Bagel feature
  • Automatic and Manual cancel
  • Illuminated bagel, defrost, reheat, and cancel buttons
  • And it comes in RED!!!! Actually it comes in an array of colors to match any kitchen decor; green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, blue, and white!

Did I mention, how much I love the styling?

As you can tell this baby is not gonna be stored away in the pantry!

Are you a bare counter fanatic too? What’s your take on colored appliances, Yay or Nay?

      At home both my son and I are huge red fans. So whenever I pick up something red, I know I’ll have him rooting for me. 😉

      Aren’t they Serena? My old one was so basic and boring white looked like a shabby piece of plastic! These are the way to go!

Love this outdoor space with a beautiful red and blue outdoor decor with a flamingo pillow, metal tray side table, and loads of green plants

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
