After all the painting was done and I started putting everything back I realized roosters had invaded the kitchen, spilled over into the laundry room and beyond. I edited out quite a few of them, held onto my favorites.
I have a short wall just to the right before you head into the pantry. Due to it's constant use I have to keep things to a minimum in this area so they don't get knocked over and broke.

The metal rooster plaque has been in our home for a few years, I love the medallion in the middle. The bright colors of the rooster flow with other colors used in the kitchen. Even though I just finished painting the walls the rich Carriage Red wouldn't it be gorgeous done in the Twilight I put in the shop?

Just underneath sits 3 rooster chests. Again, I've had them for a few years. The lamp sitting here has a marble base, the rooster is cast iron. This lamp weighs a ton. I loved it the minute I saw it. It has a tendency to float around the kitchen, for the past few months resides on the rooster chests.

I carried the rooster canisters in the shop for awhile. They took forever to get in and flew out the door, now discontinued I treasure these beauties.

This beauty is what started the rooster collection many years ago. Originally purchased to sit on the end of the counter, I realized it was just too big for that area. Quite honestly didn't want to take a chance of it getting knocked over, not that it would happen on purpose; accidents happen. If it fell on one of the children it could have hurt them, again this baby weighs a lot.


And last but not least the trio of the rooster, hen and the birdcage.

Lynne, I love all your darling roosters!!
You have such wonderful roosters. I love all of them!!
Thanks Lynne for posting your roosters. I'm a fan of roosters as well.
I ordered a month ago a rooster lamp from mason drake and it still has not arrived. I guess they call it snail mail for a reason.
You have a lot of roosters. Glad you took the time to snap their pictures. I only had two pair and it's funny I have remembered another pair but can't find them.
OMG, that BIG roo on your cabinets is GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Love the canisters too! I can imagine that they would fly out the door! XO, Pinky
Oh,Oh, Oh....those stacking crates...mercy, those are neat! I really like those babies!!
Lynne, I know you've been so busy so I want you to know how much I appreciate you snapping your Roosters for me! Now you have some beautiful ones! The plaque is gorgeous and that huge Rooster on top of your cupboards - to die for, well, swoon for! :)
Those Roosters chests and the lamp. Rooster Heaven! I'm in Rooster Heaven!
Thank you so much for coming to my party. I remember, I do believe it was RMS you showed your laundry room and it was decorated so beautifully and you had a little Rooster lamp on your washer! I loved that! :)
You are the sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Lynne! You have some darling and very clever roosters in your home. Love how you have them all arranged. I don't think I've ever seen those neat rooster boxes, but I just love them. Great job!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Love your pretty roosters, especially the really big colorful one on top of the cabinet:@)

But of course you would have gorgeous Roosters! :) I expected nothing else! You have such a talent for putting things together...
I have a question and hope you have time to answer it. I have your lamp..and I love it but it is out in the garage at this time..I cannot...CANNOT find a bulb to go in it and when I have it gives off No light hardly at all. It is sort of a "night light".. This is a little frusterating. I did not realize this when I bought the lamp. Is yours this way? I love that lamp..it is just beautiful.
Now..back to catching up! AOL says I cannot get my mail..and it has been this way for two days. I am spoiled having your posts right there on my morning mail. What a great feature!!!
HUGS!
Mona :)
