Some even say they're lucky.
If you grew up in a Southern kitchen, you're bound to notice certain quirks. There may always be a nondescript can sitting on the counter. (Hint: It's leftover bacon fat.) You may have a cookie jar filled with your grandmother's “world famous” cowboy cookies. What is the most certain thing that exists? Ornaments and his ten pieces, and for some reason, sometimes a rooster is involved.
First, you may notice a set of salt and pepper shakers. Then there's the tea towel. Then I cross-stitched the picture frames on the wall. Last but not least is the candy plate and cookie jar. Roosters are everywhere, roosters. This decorative theme stems from the generational popularity of the Southern farmhouse aesthetic. What started as a necessity in agriculturally centered regions has evolved into a full-fledged design phenomenon across the country, thanks to (of course) what we like to call “.”fixer upper effect. “
Origin of rooster interior
But let's get back to the rooster. This particular home decor trend was once all the rage, especially in southern kitchens. While it may have originated primarily in country kitchens and old-fashioned farmhouses, it eventually spread beyond the countryside and can still be found in many traditional Southern hardware stores.
It is also considered a signature accent of the French Country design style, inspiring many of the modern farmhouse designs that are so popular in the South today. In Swedish tradition, it is also known that having a chicken figurine in the kitchen is a symbol of good luck. Basically, Rooster tendencies go back a long way. Simple icons add a pop of color and charm to any space and can be used in a variety of ways.
Where to find rooster ornaments
Some may call it kitschy, but this cheerful emblem can't help but hold a special place in our hearts. Why are you so serious? This year, it might be time to add a little personality here and there. That is why we are calling for the revival of the rooster decoration. If you're wondering where to find them, antique stores and estate sales are great places to find vintage gems. But online retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, and Walmart are also a treasure trove of chicken-themed kitchen decor.
Swap out white walls and beige accents. Because 2023 is the perfect year to return to our roost, our roots, with this revival of the good old days. Plus, a little luck never hurts.
