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.

You already know my anti-farm animal decoration stance along with the horrible woe over my then potential dinnerware set I was about to co-inherit. Needless to say, I too heart basic mix and match pieces, particularly rounded square and round dinnerware, glass, and stainless steel flatware and pots and pans. I'd rather buy vintage Pyrex than the new World Kitchen edition. They replaced the beloved borosilicate with soda lime which has been known to "explode" when going from sudden changes of temperature. Oh, and vintage Pyrex is so purdy. Did I mention that I found those images via Google for your post up there?!
You are a handy little image finder. Thanks for the help!
Are you going to fill your China cabinet up with Spring Blossom Pyrex pieces?
