With the new look in the dining room, I needed a fresh theme... .Roosters & Roses (and maybe a few French Hens..lol!) |
The roosters that I wanted to use had a lot of red paint on them....I wanted pink.......so, out came the paint! |
There is a flock of them "roosting" on the mantle... |
They have all been "crowing" about their new look..... |
This is how the roosters on the mantle looked before their makeover. I used enamel paint from Hobby Lobby ....it looks just like the enamel that is original to the roosters. |
I dry brushed white paint over the cream bodies of this sweet couple ...and changed their comb from orange to pink. |
I didn't get a before picture of these sweeties...but their combs were a bright red. |
I added a couple of roosters to the existing decor on the buffet that is on the back wall of the dining room. |
Here is the left end of the buffet. The "nest" by this rooster is a vintage hat. I put a real nest in the hat and added some black and white ceramic eggs. |
For this roosters make over.... He got a pink comb, I took the yellow out of his feet, and toned down the green grass that he is standing in. |
Here is a close up of the wooden rooster on the right end of the buffet. |
I have several cozy sitting areas around the room where we can sit and have a cup of coffee and a slice of cake. I also pulled back the window coverings so we can see out side. |
On the left of the table is a big ottoman. I draped a lace throw over it..... |
and now it's a perfect place to roost! |
Another little area where we can sit and visit. |
These roosters sit in the entrance to the dining room. They both got a touch of pink added to them and I put a pink feather nest under the bigger one. |
Since this post is already so long, I will do a separate post to show you the dishes that I used for the tablescape.

Oh my dear, I'm speechless! Okay, I can speak now, what an enchanting dining room! Everything you've touched is heavenly, love the way you've decorated your small Duncan Phyfe, it's just lovely! Your pinks are just divine and your roosters and roses are truly showstoppers! Each detail is magnificent! I can't wait to see the rest you'll be sharing with us, I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteI love a rooster with a pink comb! lol It looks lovely, Penny. What fun to have a smaller table and extra sitting areas. It is all very feminine and lovely looking- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love that you toned down the bird's feet. And you have the most incredible collection of crochet/needlework pieces! You must love using them! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! I've never seen a Rooster with a pink comb but I want one! Your dining room is like a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I like the way you painted them! So cute! And I LOVE the rose colored chair!!!! I'd steal it in a minute!!
ReplyDeleteThese roosters are great, I can't believe the difference after. This must have taken you a very long time and lots of effort. It looks very cosy now!!
ReplyDeletewww.crafty-chic.blogspot.com
I love the rooster with the pink comb, though I should confess I just love roosters. Everything looks great and all the vintage linens are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, painting those roosters! Everything is lovely - looks like icing on a cake. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim @ Curtain Queen Creates
Your room looks heavenly! What a great idea to paint the roosters. Love your linens, look forward to your next post.

Oh!! Well! Where do I start! I am so addicted to your blog that it's almost pathetic. I MUST keep up with what you do and when I miss something....just have to rush and catch up. Who would think of painting rooster comb's pink!! I LOVE IT!! What a great idea! You cannot imagine how many idea's...well..yes you can! I have dug out so many lace doilies and am using them in ways I would never have thought of..across trays over things that need a touch of something. I've always painted things..but now I will be painting in ways I never thought of. :) S'wonderful, Penny!
ReplyDeleteYour imagination is simply OFF the charts. What I love about it all is that it is not the USUAL!! It's all in the detail, isn't it? :)
Love the idea of using a vintage hat as a nest! Your decorating is amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things! Thanks for sharing at our All Things Thursday Blog Hop! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Nici
The roos and chick look adorable all painted up by you and it fits perfect in your decor now, much more tan before dear Penny. I love your house and specially your dining room. Wish I could drive my car and go visit you!
ReplyDeleteFABBY
Now, I knew I was right! Never thought a rooster and hen would be so pretty in pink, but you proved me wrong! They are perfect for your home Penny! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

ReplyDeleteLinda
I love roosters! My kitchen is rooster themed {my husband does not share my love}. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteAmanda @ A Mother's Craftuition
Beautiful post, Penny - your roosters are awesome! I am delighted that you shared with Home and Garden Thursday,
ReplyDeleteKathy
