Hello Everyone!
How was your weekend?
I went on an organizing frenzy and started cleaning
out all our desk drawer files and computer photos.
I love to be well organized. I just breathe easier. Whew!
Our kitchen started out with a grape theme and now
I have been adding rooster decor slowly but surely.

I showed you my red table from Kirklands recently andI have updated it with a rooster arrangement and tassel.
Kristens Creations made them both. She is very talented!
I have bought many items from her. Pay her a visit to order.

I thought the warm colors were perfect for the fall. I am definitely ready for it.
The jar is filled with cilantro/basil potpourri and it smells delish.

The red rooster plate and frame are right at home.

Roos are peeking out of and an open display shelf.

The mini rooster lamp casts a warm glow at night.
Don't forget to decorate the top of your fridge!
I added another lamp, floral and a wine rack.
Have a wonderful week!

Love the lamp on top of the refrigerator. Would have never thought to put one there. I guess you have it pulled in behind the refrigerator?
Hi Melissa, I love all your decor choices. The colors are so rich.I also have roosters galore too in our kitchen. Your accent lamps are adorable.I saw rooster themed dishes on Mikasa site.You probably would love them as well!Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.Take care.
Just love it! I always use the words warm and cozy for your house. I hope you know that is like the epitome of a home for me! I have to get something from Kristen's Creations. Her stuff is so rich looking and beautiful!
Everything looks wonderful! You know I love roosters!
What a great idea to put the rooster lamp on top of the fridge! So warm and inviting and I love your beautiful color pallette throughout your home!

Hi Melissa,
Your kitchen looks so nice. I love Kristen's Frames. I have several of them. Her floral arrangements sell out so quickly that I haven't had a chance to buy one from her Etsy store.
I know what you mean about being organized. I feel much more relaxed knowing that my house is in order.
Have a great week!

You're right. I DO love that red table! Melissa, I'm so upset. I had lost 8 pounds in a month. (First month of trying also.) Inexplicably, I gained 2.6 pounds this week! And I'm hungry and I haven't eaten anything different. And I've even worked outside more.

Oh, doesn't it feel good to get organized? I love doing that and should do more often. I love your decor, it's so warm and oh, so charming!

Love your roosters!
Love all your decor Melissa, I love the Roosters and often want to buy some to start adding to my kitchen but now I'm on a 'no spend' kinda thing! I always have decor on my fridge top but never thought about putting a small lamp up there... I may have to add one now :) It's back to school for us tomorrow, we've been enjoying our last weekend just hanging out at the pool and this morning I made brunch for the neighbors :)
Your kitchen looks so warm and inviting. Love all of your roosters!
Thanks for the nice comment on my guest room!
You home looks beautiful, like always Melissa. It's so warm and inviting! Great job and I love the decor on top of the fridge!
Love the vignette on the red table...the whole arrangement looks so warm and inviting...well done
Your home looks so beautiful! I love the lamps in your kitchen. I was in an organizing mood this weekend too and finally got to cleaning out my pantry. Feels so good!!
Everything looks great and so colorful!
I'm having a Barnyard Bash Party in September and hope you'll join it:@)
I could SO live in your home :) I, too, love the richness of jewel colors and although I haven't gone the rooster route yet, I do love that they are becoming popular. I forsee some in our future :)
Everything looks so pretty. I love the vibrant reds and I love your roosters. You have such a great eye.
The lamp on top of the fridge is a lovely touch! You know I love red and I love roosters - so I'm loving all of this!
Manuela
Your roosters are looking good Melissa. I love them all. Your red table is darling with the rooster floral display and tassel, and how pretty even the top of the fridge is. Beautiful. Hugs, Marty
Melissa, your kitchen is amazing. The lamp on top is perfect. I admit that I don't decorate up there. I have always made my poor husband keep his bottle of bourbon in that cabinet up there...to make it less accessible to boys. :)
Things are very busy at school. I really don't know how much blogging I'll be doing. We'll just have to see how things settle in.
I love love love chickens and roosters! Love yours too..I have so many I have lost count! ;D
Love anything Kristen does...she is wonderful....I am going to do some organizing tomorrow and start with pictures on my computer..UGH
Hi pretty Melissa! Oh, what gorgeous vignettes! Now you know how I love the Roosters and you've got some mighty handsome ones. Your kitchen is so pretty and I like the arrangement on top of your fridge!
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Pretty! There's a cute rooster tote on Ballards' clearance!
Looks beautiful Melissa!!!! I could look at pics of your house forever!
Hi Melissa, your rooster arrangement and tassel look right at home on your new table! The lamp looks great on the fridge! Great idea. I might put one on top of mine. I just have a basket on top right now...kinda boring. I've been redoing a few things in my kitchen over the past few days.
I also got a new coffee table! I had no intentions of buying one, but my neibors had a yardsale and were selling theirs. I couldn't believe it when she brought it out. I've always liked it in their house. It gives my room a new look! I was planning on posting it tonight, but I've been out all day and I'm too tired. Hopefully tomorrow...talk to you soon, Kristen
Nice Melissa, VERY nice!...Christine
Love the lamp there! I really have a thing about lamps in every space but never thought to put one up there! I love the decor and you know I am a rooster fan!
Greetings! I LOVE everything. I wish I could subscribe to your new posts via email?
Best regards,
Gloria
I don't know what the grape theme looked like, but i sure like what you're doing with the rooster theme...However, I am partial to the color red!
I *love* that rooster tassle-very cute!!
You've created such a warm, welcoming room. I love all your roosters!
xo
Claudia
Your kitchen is looking lovely, Melissa! I love all the touches of red in here. I don't have much room on the top of my fridge to decorate, plus I use that cabinet pretty much on a daily basis. Seeing how yours looks make me wish I could!
I just love how you have decorated your home. It is just beautiful and so inviting.
Willow
Lovely! I'm so looking forward to fall ~ my favorite season. Just thinking this morning about what kind of wreath I want to make for my front door.
Hope you have a great week!
Pat
Ooooh.....I love the rooster tassel! It is gorgeous my friend!
Many Blessings,
Melissa
PS - Thank you for the reminder to decorate the top of the fridge...you are so right!
Fun updates! And I love the red-brown colors.
News! On Friday we're starting a link-up-your-giveaway party (and we'll announce an amazing giveaway). Please join us at http://bit.ly/bmXgYj
Melissa, love the roosters you have, especially the pretty plate with the red background! Your home is so warm and inviting, and you really have a knack for putting things together! Linda
Oh Melissa, everything looks so lovely. Your rooster collection is wonderful. Everything looks so warm and inviting. I love the lamp on top of the fridge...guess we probably shouldn't try that out here in earthquake country!
I LOVE it and I'm going back to take another look at your crowing kitchen...Your post title was very cute. Fabulous post...as always!
Melissa, I am so thrilled you linked your beautiful vignettes to TTT. They are just gorgeous and you always do the most creative displays. Thanks so much. Hugs Marty
Gorgeous as always! Love your beautiful colors and accessories.
Everything looks so pretty. I love the roosters on the open shelves and the pretty square plate. I'm envious that you're so organized!
I love the way you design everything - it looks great!!!
My mom has a bunch of rooster stuff in her kitchen - I have always loved them!
Hi Melissa, I love love love! Everything is soooooo warm looking! It's getting close for me to go back to school! It's time! Have a great week! Nancy from OHIO
That is just so gorgeous Melissa!
I love your reds! And the roosters are so charming. And I love the top of your fridge, and your right, I need to do something there, mine is sad looking.
HAGD,
Cindy

Melissa, As usual everything you touch is pure perfection and eye candy. Love all your little touches around the house. Thanks for sharing all your creativity with the rest of us.

Hi Melissa...
Oooooh.. so you are the one who beat me to that rooster tassel from Kristen!! LOL! Love your vignettes! The reds!! Just perfect. Your lampshade color is exactly what I am going to change my shades to. As you will see, my sofa table needs a tad of red somewhere!! Great idea about putting a little accent lamp on top of the fridge! I will have to be a copy cat!! Tee Hee!! Love your decor! Hugs!
Oh Melissa, you know I'm just crowing with delight over all your new rooster pretties! You have everything displayed just perfectly as well!
Kristens arrangement is such a show stopper! How wonderful and lucky you are to have one... I mean several of her creations. Can't wait to see her Fall creations ... I remember last year's were sooo gorgeous!
Melissa, your home always looks as neat as a pin. I can tell how hard you work keeping it that way, I like having things organized too. Otherwise I'd go crazy!!
Have a great week!!
Hugs, Sherri:)
AS always beautiful! I needed ideas for above the fridge. You did a great job there. I also am loving the rooster arrangement by Kristen! She has one in her store I would so love to have.
Melissa, your kitchen is just beautiful!
I love coming over here to visit all your warm colors. Such a nice break from my lighter tones here. :)
Great idea to light up the top of the fridge, lamps give such a cozy feeling in the evening. I have a bunch of small ones I put on here almost every night.
~Michelle
I love all your roosters! The colors are beautiful. The top of your fridge looks great!
I am a rooster gal too, yours look great.
And I hear you about being organized, think we have a little OCD gong on :)
All the best,
Kathy :)
Hi Melissa, Everything looks so warm and cozy.I love all your roosters....Kathy
This is so pretty! I love your red table and love the lamp on top of the fridge.

Oi, Melissa meu nome é Luzia, moro no Brazil, em São José do Rio preto,uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo.Eu amo o seu estilo de decoração, alegre e classico,cheio de detalhes percebe que você é muito caprichosa.Espero que a tradução fique boa para que você possa entender, pois a tempos visito o seu blog mas nunca consigo uma boa tradução,nao quero parecer boba.´Seu blog é lindo.
I am a detail & organizer gal too. When I can come up with a system and it workes to help stay organized I love it! I hired 1 person and I am in the process of hiring a second so I am all about the organizing and order systems right now. I could use a rooster to get me up before the kids to get more done! Beautiful pics!
Beautiful!!
Melissa, thank you for hoping and praying for me. You've been a big inspiration to me and I am hoping to help myself and maybe inspire others on my journey. I really believe this is it this time.
Valerie
Very nice. Will have to show this to my niece. She loves prints like these...I like them too!
How did I miss this post? I like to read ALL your posts!
I love the roosters in your kitchen. They just look right at home there--the colors are perfect for your kitchen, don't you think?
I don't have exposed space over my refrigerator, but if I did I'd want it to look as pretty as yours.
Now could you please come to Durham and organize MY house?
So pretty and so warm!!!
I see you love lamps too! The one on top of the frig makes the kitchen glow! Love it. Thanks for stopping by my place. I've been following U for awhile.
See ya,
Karen
Looks wonderful Melissa!! Love mini lamps and I LOIVE roosters, so this is a win win! :)
