Roosters in the kitchen...

Do you have roosters in your kitchen?  Not the real ones, of course, but decorative ones.  I think it's the perfect place for them, and we have a few here at Mourning Dove Cottage.
If you have one of those glass chicken in a baskets you can display it some place where the light will hit it, maybe on a kitchen windowsill.  The colored glass is beautiful!   

I'm framing one of my rooster paintings to hang in the kitchen.

A rooster basket (if you can see it) is hanging with the copper pots (below).

This is where I decided to hang the rooster painting.  Right above the kitchen door leading into the dining room.  I think it's the perfect spot.  

Enjoy your day!

The red kitchen

I still think there is something irresistible about a red kitchen.  

It might be the fact that I love red, but red kitchens are always cozy and warm.  I found a few of these on Pinterest, and oh yes, I'm addicted to Pinterest lately!  

I was actually thinking about painting my kitchen a creamy white, but I believe that I'll keep it red for now.   

What color is your kitchen?

More country kitchens....

All of these pictures came from The English Home magazine.  

Painting the kitchen

We have a red kitchen.  It's been red for maybe 10 or 12 years and I'm thinking of changing the color.  I like my red kitchen, but I'm ready for a change.  Do you ever get tired of a room color?  

I pulled out my book of color chips the other day and started going through colors.  

I love the look of "old English country kitchens".

Paging though many of my English Home magazines recently, I found that most of the kitchens are a soft white or warm yellow color.  

So this is the color I'm thinking about (the one marked with the x).    

I have a lot of time to think about this project because it will not be tackled until the cancer treatment is over and I'm once again feeling strong and back to my old self.  
Something to look forward to now that I've decided.  

Can't wait!
