"A good upbringing means not that you won't spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won't notice it when someone else does."
Anton P. Chekhov (Russian, Physician, short-story writer and playwright, 1860-1904)

SUBJECT: Orla Kiely "Flowers" tablecloth
I saw this tablecloth at Target last week and just had to have it for one reason - it has orange in it! I had painted my kitchen orange in November (see before and after here). I did not realize how hard it would be to find rugs, dishtowels and tablecloths that would go well with that color. I'm a little embarrassed to say that when I saw this at Target, I actually squealed in delight. It's sad, really, how something like a tablecloth can make me so happy. But it does! I'm sure HandsomeHusband will be shaking his head at how goofy I am while reading this post. I know honey, I'm whacko, but that's why you love me! *wink*

I like......very, very much!! Wonderful photo!
Thats so cool. I also peeked in your before and after pics, looks great!
Cool patterned tablecloth ~ nice colors! I checked the before and after of your kitchen paint project. The orange is a great color! We painted one wall in our kitchen a burnt orange color ~ from Lowe's ~ florentine clay (Valspar brand I think). Anyhow, I really like it! We were going to paint the entire kitchen that color but I worried it would make it seem too dark, so we went with a green on the other walls.
I love your new (after) kitchen shot because I love orange!
So your new tablecloth is fantastic!
Very nice table cloth!! I need to change mine...still have my Christmas one on the table. Just goes to show how often we use it!!
Great photo!!
I love it! Great tablecloth.
I like the photo and the tablecloth. Your kitchen looks nice too! We did our kitchen over last year and my color is similar to yours, maybe a little more terra cotta color and I know what you mean about finding things to match. This post shows my redo and the wall color.
