The start of summer means warm weather, trips to the beach and, in many cases, constant entertaining. While catching up with family and friends is fun, sometimes it seems there just isn't enough space for all the extra food and drinks needed, especially in your home.

Starting today, consumers will have the chance to win a Green Tea refrigerator of their own.

The refrigerator simplifies decorating by instantly brightening a room while still remaining functional with a five-bottle wine rack. The Green Tea refrigerator is a calming shade of metallic green with leaf etching. The unique design can add a fresh pop of color to an otherwise neutral kitchen or instantly brighten an entertaining space, such as a sun room, wet bar or entertainment room.

"While adding color to a room can come across as a challenge to many consumers, the Amana® Green Tea refrigerator seamlessly blends style with functionality," said Carlos Johnson, senior brand manager, Amana. "The Amana® Green Tea refrigerator allows consumers to add color and design and meet their entertaining criteria at a price that won't break the bank."

In a survey Amana brand conducted with thekitchn.com, 21 percent of consumers said they preferred to decorate with green when choosing a color, with blue and red coming in second and third, respectively. With so many decorating options, improving a kitchen or entertaining space may sometimes seem daunting. However, a colorful appliance, such as the Amana® Green Tea refrigerator, can easily transform a space for under $800.

The 17.6 cu. ft. Green Tea refrigerator features adjustable Spillsaver™ glass shelves, adjustable door bins and gallon door storage to help keep the fridge clean and organized. An ice-maker and the wine rack also make the Green Tea refrigerator perfect for entertaining.
