I complained of roosters a couple of posts back. Yes, I have a rooster in my kitchen, but it was not something that I chose to have. It will be painted over eventually!

That said, I would like to talk about those crazy people who have farm animal-themed kitchens. I remember when I was a junior in high school - my cousin got married & she had several gifts that were cow-themed for her kitchen. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. I'd much rather have cute vintage pieces, than hideous roosters (or other farm animals) in my kitchen.

I love timeless pieces that you can mix and match with other pieces. I love things that never seem to go out of style or lose their charm. With farm animals, you are kind of stuck in one theme & if you were to tire of it, I imagine it would take quite a bit of money to replace everything. With mixing & matching, you always have pieces to choose from/pieces you can put away for a fresh new look anytime you are ready for one.
