Update: Entries (comments) on this story are now closed. Congratulations to winners Renee (vase) and Melissa (apron) — I done spun the random number generator, and their number came up. Prizes awarded! Thanks, everyone, for playing — how much fun to read about everyone’s kitchens! Can you believe it, this Savoy vase, designed by Alvar Aalto, has been in continuous production since 1936 — that’s 75 years. Courtesy of sponsor FinnStyle.com, one reader will win this lovely classic vase this week.
And to double the fun, FinnStyle also is offering a second prize for a second reader: a Marimekko apron of your choice. This Kesatori design is my perky favorite — but I count 8 styles of Marimekko aprons, with a total of 14 possible colors. Continue on for instructions on how to enter to win our one of our two giveaways this week –>

I was born in Finland so you can just guess the colors in my kitchen: red toaster, blue stand mixer, blue/green/red striped rag rug on the floor surrounded with yellow walls. I need bright colors living on Oregon Coast. Cheers!

Logs and chinking, gray linoleum floor with red/yellow insets, green Fire King objects, black wood cookstove.

My kitchen , a rental, is 80s oak cabs and butcher block laminate counters, which I have attempted to liven up with a beehive stainless steel blender, a retro style Oster convection/toaster oven, and an Alessi Starck juicer, which looks cool but isn’t very effective for a morning glass of oj.

My kitchen is neutral but I brighten it up with red accessories. WOuld love to win either the apron or the vase!
Gizella says
My kitchen is white with mid-beige cabinetry, neutral flooring. Boring! The color would add so much, and you can’t go wrong with Marimekko! Aalto is always first class!

My kitchen colors are gold, green and electric blue – knotty pine cupboards and curava counters in the jungle moon colorway. Sort of sophisticated summer camp!
Amandaa says
Ack! My kitchen’s current colors are brown, brown, and more brown! It is a 1978s time capsule, and not in a good way! We are looking at ways to brighten it up. That apron and some Gerbera daisies in the vase would at least get us started!
Annette says
Golden oak and white are my kitchen colors, and I’m ordering a beautiful Marimekko tablecloth today, from Finnstyle, for the holidays!!
Joy says
My kitchen colors come from Martha Stewardt’s paint line– haystack walls and picket fence base cabinets and shelves. My floor is checkerboard Azrock tile Spearmint and Cirrus (a mix of mostly white, coral, and spearmint). Of course there are pops of pink! 🙂

My kitchen is red and white, and I LOVE everything from Finland!
