Actually i don't like
Orange to be honest. But with the
Dutch soccer
team reaching the semi final
:D at the South African World
Soccer games you cannot escape this color in
Holland. Orange is the color of our soccer team dating back from the
Royal House of Orange. I'm living with a man who is a real soccer fan (and i became one during this tournament) so this is what he did to our
house.
And this...
Orange
flags everywhere. He bought
250 meters of these flags in total but i
stopped him here. When they reach the
final we can re-negotiate. Here are some examples of
Orange i could like in our calm
:) white house.
Some
flowers and an Orange bowl..
This collection of Creuset in Orange..lovethese pans
This funny handmade
pillow, found it here on
Etsy
The hints of
Orange in these drinks, with a dash of
alcohol please to calm my nerves during the game...
Below is my favorite
Orange drink during the game. Made with
Aperol, an
Italian digestive liquor and
Prosecco.Here is the recipe, try it you will like it.
So our
team is playing against
Uruguay tommorow night. Al you guys who are out of the tournament can you
please cheer for
Holland? I would love to see hubby hang the rest of his 250 meters of
Orange flags.

it must be so exciting to have your football team get through to the semis! Beating Brazil is very very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThere's something very fresh and happy about the colour orange :)
Oh, you must love him SO much to have the orange bunting and flag flying!
ReplyDeleteI have orange le Crueset but that's the only orange in the house- it comes next to yellow on my colourometer.
Did the name orange come first, or the colour? :)))
Have a lovely week
xx
So funny!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your success in the tournament.
I guess we have to let the hubby's decorate the odd time ~ though I refuse to hang my guy's hockey team picture up in my living room (honestly....)!
ReplyDeleteI think a splash of orange once in awhile is OK too ~ but I agree with you ~ not too much! :)
Good luck to your soccer team!

Last night, at a 4th of July BBQ I had a drink with Aperol - delicious! IT was called the Dolly it had vodka, Aperol and grapefruit juice - hele lekker!
ReplyDeleteIk hoop dat het Nederlands team wint!
Oh my God i LOVE this owl pillow <3 SO CUTE :D
ReplyDeleteHehe I love your orange soccer deco! I can imagine everything in the Netherlands is as much orange as we have everyhting in black/red/gold here in Germny in these days :)
A Holland - Germany final would be so exciting right? I often heard that germans and Dutch don't like each other, but there are lots of Germans here who keep their fingers crossed for Oranje too :)
No matter which team wins, I hope everything will be find ebetween us two neighbour countries when the world cup is over :)
Hi Linda!!! Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated!!!
ReplyDeleteThese orange flags are so great, and would love, if Holland wins, to see them all around the house!!! ;)
I am sure you will find a place for them after the World Soccer Games, and they would look fantastic as home decoration!!
Have a wonderful week!!!
nice photos- I was not always such a big fan of Orange but I have been thinking of using it in a space of my home- Even went so far as to pick up paint samples- hum.... we'll see.
ReplyDeleteSpain-Holland?? It would be wonderful.....
ReplyDeleteHugs

.... ik weet het klinkt gek maar in mijn huis geen oranje, helemaal niets.
ReplyDeleteEen leuke week, Linda! xx
I used to hate orange, but suddenly I like it again...not too sure about bunting though, but can't blame your hubby and you are so generous to consider the rest of the 250 metres if they get to the final. Do I say good luck.....!!
ReplyDeleteI truly love Orange! And I love Holland. When we went to the fireworks on Friday nite and to celebrate my niece's birthday, the first words uttered to me when we arrived was.."Hooray for the Netherlands!" Congrats on your Orange Boys!
ReplyDeleteI love, love your blog! What a great discovery! Thank you for following my blog, I will most definitely be following yours :)

Love orange in bright little pops - like one of those La Creuset pieces in an all white kitchen.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is down in SA watching the world cup now (so jealous) good luck tonight!!
xx
Oh mamma what a lovely blog and how happy I am to have had the pleasure to see you follow my blog, only to lead me here.
ReplyDeleteI love that your husband is so dedicated to football AND to decor!! Not a common combo with footy fanatics really, and I totally dig that you had to stop him from buying more bunting!! :)
Loving the rest of the orange inspiration here.. and hey, how about convincing your huz that a little something from Hermes would be fitting in these times of orange?!? :)
Happy to be here and am off to explore more now!
xx Charlotta
Love that Owl pillow! Go Holland!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the coral color this summer.
ReplyDeleteGo HOLLAND! And that drink sounds divine!
ReplyDeleteWell you did say you would put up ALL the bunting if...... and now you're in the final!! Hope to see pictures of your house festooned....He he!!
ReplyDeleteJenny x

We did cheer for Holland, and we will again for their first soccer world championship! (Do you say fussball?)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the cheering you did. We reached the final and are up against Spain.(a tough one) Soccer is called voetbal in Dutch. Fussbal is German. XX
