My Favorite Room {Savvy Southern Style}

I’m sharing my favorite room as part of the popular Friday series over at Savvy Southern Style today! Which one will it be???

Many, many thanks to the fabulous Kim for having me. She really kind of put me on the blog-land map when she featured a few of my before and afters last year, and she’s been such a huge supporter ever since.

All right, enough of my sappy blog-friend love story… y’all get over there lickety split!

Cows

Hey all my friends.

I guess it’s because my grandfather, father and brother used to show Jersey cows, and my other grandfather was a cattle trader, that I just have “the love of cows” in my blood.

I have some great old black and white snap shots of my father and grandfather with their show cows that I am going to try and enlarge to use. I also have lots of their ribbons and even a few silver trophy bowls that they won. Such awesome memorabilia.

I have recently been on a cow hunt. Now, I don’t want just any old cow. I want it to have the right look. You know what I mean….right?

Let me show you a couple that I have recently brought home.

See him sitting way down there on my white bench.

Here he is a little closer up…

My friend, Kim, made me this pillow. Remember her etsy shop giveaway I did a couple of weeks ago. Check out her shop again here.

I also just purchased this great little 8 x10 canvas from Fine Farmhouse and I love it.

I love how subtle this canvas is. Dru did a great job making her look old.

This old wooden screen holds my kitchen essentials. I love to corral things together like this.

Our chickens are laying us lots and lots of eggs right now. We are getting a dozen plus everyday. Thank you my pretty hens…

Now you know I cannot talk about cows and leave out my all time favorite bovine.

Yes, Herley is still my number 1 cow of all times.

I don’t think Herley will ever be replaced. He will always be my favorite and he will always hold a place of honor and distinction in my home.

So now I have three cows. There is one in the kitchen, one in the dining room, and one in the living room. I don’t want to be a collector of cows so I will probably stop soon. A few will do me just fine.

Of course the above comment doesn’t mean that I am going to stop my hunt.

Hope you are having a great week and that the rest of it is blessed beyond measure.

Thanks, as always, for taking your time to visit with me. I know your time is precious.
