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.
