Rooster Kitchen Décor Ideas

Normally I would not decorate my kitchen with roosters and chickens but for some reason, my family must think it would be a good idea because recently I received rooster mugs and a poster.

The country barnyard/rooster theme for my kitchen is growing on me and I really think it is perfect for my adobe style home with the stucco walls that are painted a warm gold with turquoise trim.

I like the idea of the vintage rooster coffee mugs hanging from my bakers rack as well 4 to 6 mix and match barnyard plates.  A canister for my herbal tea bags tucked in a corner on the kitchen counter, coordinated towels, apron, napkins and placement will certainly make my kitchen more cheerful.  Add a rooster framed print and a wall clock and the kitchen will look very eye appealing.


If you are like me and are thinking about updating or adding to your country kitchen theme then here are some rooster products that I found at Zazzle that I recommend.

I love the zazzle table lamps because they are the perfect size for a recipe desk or small to medium accent table.  Two are perfect for a buffet.  The shade comes in three types of fabric; polyester, rice paper and linen.  My lamp has rice paper and both my husband and I like the look.  A well made lamp at a fair price.

Decorating Living Room with Throw Pillows



Decorating your living room does not need to be expensive you can add a fresh look easily with a set of coordinating throw pillows.  When it comes to decorating with the pillow it is best to coordinate the pillows with your furniture.

This picture shows various blue pillow sizes as well as texture, fabric, color, and style.  All of the pillows have a unique look however they coordinate well with each other.  A set of pillows such as this one will complement a blue theme home as they are eye appealing. 
 
Before you shop for living room throw pillows determine the style of your room.  There are a variety of pillow styles; floral, girly, vintage, country, modern, seasonal, and more.  The style that you choose should complement your décor.




Interior Decorating Tips


  1. When you determine the style you will then decide on the colors that will work with your living room décor.  
  2. Pick out three primary colors.  As an example a pink, green and beige patterned or floral pillow will accent a green-themed room nicely
  3. Coordinate this green pattern pillow with a solid primary color and you will have a set of the throw pillow accents for your sofa or your chair. 
  4. Buy throw pillows as a set; choose 4 to 6 for a sofa, one for an accent chair.  An interesting pillow arrangement would feature several sizes.

Winter Wonderland Christmas Decor Ideas


When it comes to decorating for Christmas I like to accent my blue living room with a winter wonderland theme.  

Blue is a cool color and thus it is the perfect color to represent the cold days of winter.  The white color that I use represents the ice and the snow.   Along with these colors I like to add clear glass or crystal prisms and ornaments to reflect the light in my living room.

The blue and white wonderland theme is a nice background for the balsam tree and is stunning for a white seasonal decorations.  Here are a few winter wonderland Décor Designs  that I created from my photographs.  You will also view decor items from other artists at zazzle that I recommend.


For your Christmas Kitchen


Decorate your kitchen with this pastel blue winter kitchen towel.  This towel is so eye appealing that you will not want to hide in a drawer.  Drape the towel on your oven door, or fold a few towels and feature in a holiday basket.  You can also use this towel as large napkins for children.
Celebrating the winter season means preparing many hearty meals for your family and guest.  Protect your clothing from staining foods with a medium length winter wonderland apron.  This apron is styled right as it has three spacious pockets that will hold your cooking utensils and your recipe cards.  The apron is made from cotton –polyester blend.  You can throw it in the wash and it will look good as new.
