Do you like my roosters? Before the kitchen remodel, I had a rooster collection. It was a country kitchen and I loved it, but that is not what I was going for after ther remodel. I want a more modern, clean line look. I was torn though because I loved a few of my roosters and could not bring myself to part with them.
I knew that I could bring back the large black iron one, but you see the white one he didn't look like that, he looked like this....
Not so cute for a modern "country" kitchen, but he was a wedding gift and I had to believe that he was worth a little effort. So he took a trip outside and had a date with some spray paint and turn out pretty handsome if I do say so myself
Now I think these two guys are perfect together in my modern country kitchen.
Have a great weekend

I love it! As a turkey farmer's wife, I'm always on the look out for white, turkeys, too, but I never thought of painting colored ones! What a good idea!
I think he looks great all white! The two of them look good together. Good idea to paint this guy so you could still display him.
Have a great weekend!

Great idea! Both roosters look fabulous. I love spray paint!
Looks fabulous!! It still amazes me what a little spray paint can do!
It def looks more modern now. It looks great!
Wow what a difference that made, it really looks nice. Can't wait to see it in your kitchen redo. Have a lovely weekend.

Soo much better! Great job!!
i love his new look.
you are such the smarty "hen" to do this.
did you see that layla at TLC painted pitchers to put on her mantel from the same link as you were on from "ahem" HGTV.??. i thought that was so smart & now here you go doing this great idea of painting the hen house!
i am going to copy you once again.
I love them! I myself have a bit of a birdhouse collection that I have been wondering to do with, you've given me some hope that things can be updated wonderfully!! If you have any ideas about my birdhouses of the top of your head please let me know! I love your blog!! It makes me happy!
I was going to say what Blessed Nest said....it reminded me of what Layla did. I thought she was so clever and now you have taken it to the next level. It's perfect. I tossed out all of my roosters when I re-did my kitchen. I wish I'd known you then! :) Lisa~
That is such a simple idea but it looks amazing! I love it!
Best wishes,

Hi! I'm a Rooster lover myself and I would never have thought how elegant your little colorful yardbird would look, spray painted. Great idea! Looks great.
Be a sweetie,

so glad i did! i have a rooster, that my kids gave me years ago.. in my 'cottage' phase of decorating. i haven't had the heart to let it go. now i know why! what a fabulous idea to make it more contemporary!! will be adding this to my 'to do' list! thanks for the inspiration!!! yours looks amazing! :)
[can you share what spray paint you used to get that nice glossy finish?]
The rooster looks great white.
from one rooster fan to another! love them..
I am always on the lookout for rooster items and I never thought about repainting them. I have seen some and I thought the colors were awful and now I know I can just give them a new look! Thanks for sharing this!
That was a great idea! :) It turned out awesome!

I recently did the same thing...very cute.
Love the creamy white rooster. The two of them together are fabulous!
These are cute, Cha Cha. Nice redoing.
I would never have guessed this was the same rooster! I must say I like the new look better! A timeless look!
Happy White Wednesday!
Warmly,
Lori
Cute - I love it in white. I used to have a bunch of roosters but donated them all. Should have kept them!

I have two great chickens I have thought about painting. Did you prime or use any top coat? I would love to know.
Oh I love it! I'm a rooster gal here and yours are darling. I'm gonna look around my kitchen to see which ones will be lucky enough to get a coat of paint. :)
Blessings,

Love what you did to your Rooster.
He looks so chic. I have a white Rooster I bought at Target some years back, and I just love him.
He has finally moved to the kitchen this year, he has been in 3 other rooms but this is his first visit to the kitchen and I really like it,
I may put them on white Wed. next week.
He looks great up there with the big black one too. Nice job, good thinking!!
Blessings to you,
Nellie
Never saw a white rooster before but it's a novel idea. -- Jane F.
Love it in white!

Oh my gosh...I had this rooster until my husband tossed his brief case on the counter and knock it to the floor! What a great idea. Love it! Stop by and see my lamp re-do if you get a chance.
Blessings...Sherry
Looks like an entirely different rooster!!!!!!!! I love the two different textures and colors combination of that pair. Fantastic re-do. Thanks for sharing.
What a difference a coat of paint can make! Love the other rooster too!
Just like a new rooster! Looks great!
Thanks for linking up!
It looks WAY better! Great job! :)
I love your new rooster! Great idea.
Thanks for joining Get Your craft on Thursday. Please join me next week for another great party.
Just gorgeous! Found you from Fireflies and Jellybeans - Love it!!!
My favorite type of craft - spray paint!
Somehow I became a huge rooster collector when I moved into our present home. Once Grandson started saying cockadoodledoo, I really went on a buying frenzy!
Think I'll spray paint some this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
