Okay, here is my offerings of REDS found around my home...I've only recently discovered it's my new favorite color, so please forgive me when you see some of my photo offerings...
For instance...you'll always see some of these around my house...
*Here is a painting above my fireplace ...
This is a gift from my precious "adopted" sister
And a rooster cookie jar from Ross
sorry about the glare on this picture...it is a companion piece to the following one...
These remind us of our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe in 2006...*
Do you remember this precious gift Nikki @ Blah, Blah, Blah, blog sent me a while ago....
Oh, sorry...this photo of my chef quartet didn't turn out well...some have red kerchiefs...some have red cheeks...some are just there...
Here are my rooster canisters from Ross...yeah, they're empty, but I just like seeing them sitting around on the cabinet....
Now this is my new best friend...please ignore the lamp cord to the left...

Oh yes, I had to have a rooster...he's from Ross...his tail feathers are metal...imagine that!
These chair cushions were found at my favorite thrift store...set of 4 for $8...please ignore the leaf on the left of the pic...remember I have 3 pooches that track in "stuff"...
I sure hope you're not sick of seeing my breakfast nook mural...it makes me smile every morning when I walk in & see it...

I sure hope you're not sick of seeing my breakfast nook mural...it makes me smile every morning when I walk in & see it...I think they call these a cache pot??? I just bought it because....
I got this pillow for $3 at an estate sale...I put it out at Christmas, but I left it out for year around ....
*
What??? You are still with me??? OK then...this is just an arrangement sitting on my hearth...
*
Here is a 3-dimensional plaque from my fave thrift store...and this is a wall that I painted over 45 year old attached wallpaper...
*
I used these apples with some greenery at Christmas & I decided to leave them on the ledge year around...a Dollar Store find...
*
I bought this rug to go in front of my fridge...but WHOA...way too bright, so back to Big Lots it went...
*
Now here is my favorite piece...this is a hand-painted wooden & very heavy box I found at a thrift store priced at $15...but it was discounted that day & I got it for $12. the artistry is excellent..

Just look at the detailed work on the sides...It measures 15" around & 6" deep...

The artist even painted the inside of the box & lid.... Thank you whoever you were that made this treasure for me to find....

Bo, You Flaunted some wonderful REDS!!!! I looove that chef quartet!!!! They are too cute!!! Love that RED rooster canister set!!! That'a a great find! The pictures are amazing!!!! Oh, and I have some of that {red} coke too ;) Thank you so much for joining the fun!!!!!! Blessings, Nancy
Your reds put my reds to shame! You have so many red things I love. Love that little Dollar Store pig (not that he was red), and the picture over the fp is always one of my faves. Those red cannisters have to be my favorite. My mom would love that LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE sign. That's one of her favorite sayings. Your paint color looks like the color of my dining room. And of course, my most favorite is that little picture of you that Nikki sent - it's precious. My dad told me that he read that eating/drinking things with aspartame shrink your blood vessels and can increase your risk of brain aneurysms (sp?). After I think it was Becky's SIL died last week, I've been trying to give up Diet Coke, and IT-IS-KILLING-ME! I might just have to take the risk. :O) Have a great weekend!
Hey Miss Bo......love all your reds. I"ll have to see if I can participate tomorrow....may be late to this party!
I especially love your red canisters!!!
Suzanne
Hi Bo! Wow you can flaunt your reds very well. I see quite a few things I could use - like those rooster canisters - I'd put stuff in 'em! Maybe you don't need them? :P
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Bo you have some really nice reds there. Very nice reds. I need to go Estate Saling more.
Quite a wonderful collection of fun red items you just showed on the tour of your home. Probably the canister set was among the top favorites.
Great reds. I love your roosters and your box really is just gorgeous. I love red too, such a happy color. Hugs, Marty
Well Miss Bo I would have to say you have many beautiful Reds.
My favorite is the Diet Coke can...Just kidding!!!
Hehe!
You know I adore the rooster cookie jar and the canisters.
Oh my gosh!
LOVE them... :)
I'm sooo happy you like my new bloggy dress. I needed feedback other than my hubby. He had no clue of course.
Have a great evening.
~Melissa :)
You have some amazing pieces Bo! The rooster box is so beautiful! I can't believe someone let that go. ☺♥☺
Bo,
How fun! Red Friday!!
Everything was great.
I am a chicken/rooster fan, so I loved those pieces.
Hmmm, wonder if i have any read around here i can take a pic of real fast!
Blessings,
Barbara Jean
Wow!! What a great display of reds!! Where do I begin?? I love everything!! Thanks for sharing your reds with us.
That pop can is funny. But hey it has red in it. Actually you have alot of touches of red. great job. mishelle
You have some wonderful reds Bo. I love the canisters, and that box you found is beautiful. I love the fact that they even painted the inside, what attention to detail. And what a bargain. Great post, Kathy
I love your reds Bo! You have some cute roosters and I LOVE your breakfast nook! I am new here - so I was in awe! And I love that little "cache pot" ... is that what you called it? Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing those reds with us. Come check out mine. I should have done close-ups like everyone else ... oops.
Blessings!
Beth
Wow! So many gorgeous reds - it's hard to pick my favorites. Love the Venice prints and the Mural - beautiful! Your empty cannister set is precious and the $3 pillow from the estate sale - lovely! You are one red girl! Linda
Good morning, Mizz Bo..You must know I love all of your reds this morning. Red is such a happy color and seems, to me, to make everything in the cottage just sing. Not a color anywhwere that is more happy!!
Now, I must say what others have already said...my registered nurse daughter says diet drinks are killing people...not a fast death, like dropping like flies, but, in time, that sweetner they use will leave it's mark.Sooo, 'cause I love ya, drink Crystal Light!! :O)
Hi Bo, I love all your reds! All are so pretty! My favorites are the 1st vintage looking print/picture and the red glass canister set! :)
Hope you have a great weekend! :) ~Hugs, Rhonda
You have some great reds there today! Thanks for sharing! Happy Friday!
Bo, you are in the red - but don't worry it's the good red. I love it all. And, those canisters are gorgeous.
Bo - you sure do see red! All is beautiful but those canisters are beautiful!
Beautiful Reds! Love that pillow you found at an estate sale. Lovely.
Great reds. Love that estate sale pillow!
Hi Bo! I have so many thing to say! First, that mural is amazing! I'm gonna have to go back and read some more of your blog to get the scoop on that. Second, I cracked up at the coke can! Third, personally, i would hide my secret stash of chocolate (and don't we all have one?) in one of those canisters - my kids would never think to look there! And fourth, I smiled at you heading - my dad always called my mom "Brown-Eyes"..;)

Red is absolutely my favorite color. I think I'm going to have to join in one of these Fridays. I have three red jackets. The fleece needs to be replaced, but I haven't been able to find another one in red that I like.
Bo,
Thanks for coming by, and as usual, being such an encouragement.
All you red is out of this world!!!
I'm so glad i have the store because i can have little corners of this and that in assorted colors. Not as much able to do that at home. All too open, even though small.
Blessings on your day.
Barbara Jean
Oh Bo!!! I love all of your red! I think your roosters are my favorites and I love the canister set. Hmmm...now I KNOW I need to rent that U-Haul and come to Texas...your thrift store has great finds! And don't forget that I still need to visit that antique mall...Have a great weekend...Debbie
Hi Bo,
You definitely have some beautiful reds all over your home.♥
Oh Bo,you best hope i never find out your address.You have got some rooster and hens i would LOVE to have.I truly enjoyed this.i want more.I want more...ann
Hi Bo, You have lots of red! Love the canisters, really pretty. To bad that rug was too bright, it was really cute. What a deal on those chair covers! Love them. This red party has been fun! Kristen
Wow, Bo, you sure have a lot of reds....my FAVORITE color! Love your roosters and your pretty canisters! I love that picture that's above your fireplace, too! OK...I love it ALL!
Love all your reds, Bo! My favorites? The flowered pillow and the rooster box!...Christine
Bo - I just don't know what to say. You have so many beautiful reds. I love the red wall (and you painted over wallpaper - it looks so good). You really have a lot of great read ideas. Your rooster canisters wre the best!
Hugs,
Sweetie
I missed this, this week! I'll try for next Friday!
I love your reds! Great post, Bo!
Bo, I love all of your reds! I want your canister set! That first rooster you showed is almost too pretty to be a rooster! You have some wonderful red treasures in your home, and I loved seeing all of them. (The diet coke can reminds me of home!) laurie
All your reds are fun. I especially love the red rooster canister set!!! The coke can really made me giggle!!!!! :D Jewel
I love red and in fact, my kitchen is made up with lots of red:-) I just love everything you've shown here, especially the rooster canister set, how gorgeous it is! I've never seen anything like them before. Isn't it amazing what one can find at a thrift store? I always wonder why someone gets rid of some of the stuff that's there but as they say, it's their loss and our gain:-) xoxo
Bo!!!! Girl you ain't right! lol lol Loved seeing all your pretty reds especially the rooster box..that was gorgeous but it was so funny.."ignore the lamp cord on the left....ignore the leaf on the floor" lol lol Girl made me me have to strain my eyes to find the leaf! lol lol
Gosh Bo, it took me all day to get here. I went to the knee Dr, today for my first checkup since surgery. All is well, but the outing wore me out. I am feeling real well in fact.
I love your reds. I love red too. Below the chair rail in my dining area in my kitchen is deep red. I could use some of your gorgeous red accents girl. The canisters with the rooster lids are awesome in red. I love your roosters too. You flaunted some great reds and I loved them all.
Have a wonderful evening Bo.
Love and hugs...Jeanne
Hey Bo... Wow when you flaunt your reds you really flaunt your reds ... It is one of my favorite colors and I loved all of your redness... Just great... Thanks for the FUN!
HUGS,
Donna
Enjoyable blog as alsways. Keep it going Lol
Bo, What beautiful Reds you showed us today! I especially loved the roosters., and I also thought the plaque Live, Love, Laugh (I think that's what it said) was great! ;)~CC Catherine
Hi Bo :)
My goodness that's a lot of red!! I love those red canisters with the roosters on top especially :)
hugs,
rue
Bo, look at all of your pops of red! Love them all! I'm a big chicken lover, so I really love your cute roosters. And if your canisters go missing and that chair with that cute ruffly seat, you need look no further than a magpie nest. ;-)
Love to you!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Love all of your red goodness! Doesn't it just make you happy all over? Thanks for sharing all of your fun finds, Ross rules!
~Misti
Bo this was a lot of fun--what great reds. Your breakfast nook mural is great--makes me want to go into the shops and browse!
You do have some beautiful red accents...I do love red...I was looking around my home for reds and I really do not have any....but I do have lots of red in my clothing...that is one color I love to wear....It is such a happy color.....lovely post Bo...
Hugs,
Mo ;-)
Love all your red stuff...laughing at the "chef quartet--I simply have to get pig! Loved everthing!
Hello Bo, boy, this day just flew by. Bill took me to the store today and I found out I'm not ready for shopping. lol. I came home and slept the rest of the day. I am feeling soooo much better tho. I did buy some jeans.
I noticed several people do not like watermelon. But Bo, fish and home made ice cream. Girl that's not right. Smiling big.
I agree I did have the best nurses but I have to give Bob most of the credit. He was amazing.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs and love...Jeanne
Bo, You have something waiting on you at my blog! If you are not interested then let me know....it will not hurt my feelings...You will understand when you see what it is. I will just draw again. Blessings ,Nancy
Hi Bo! I didn't realize until recently how much I LOVE red!! Now I find that adding a touch of red to every room improves the whole place! I love all your reds! The two pictures of Venice are wonderful! As is the mural in your breakfast space...and the canisters...and that cool rooster with the metal tail.... and the picture over your fireplace.....too many cool things to remember! Lol! Vanna
Well you certainly have a house full of flauntable red! That estate pillow is gorgeous! And thank you my friend for the linky love. You are such a sweetheart!
Bo! Thank you so much for coming by my blog! That Vanna's a sweetheart! We met back on RMS. She always has the sweetest comments and she's so funny! That little cherub just cried out to live at Vanna's! I didn't have a choice! You've got a wonderful blog. I'll have to start following. Your reds are beautiful! I too never decorated with much red but these ladies have convinced me to add some! I saw in your profile that you have lost a son. I am so sorry! I lost my youngest sister in 2002 to suicide. She was my sister, sometimes like a daughter and my best friend. I miss her all the time and pray the Lord has her close to Him. God Bless, lauralu
Your reds are great! I love the pictures from Europe (lucky you!) and the red rooster cannisters and how did you get a mural for your breakfast nook? Please tell.
You had a great red Friday.
Oh, the coke can was cute too!
Hi Bo!
Okay! I can not believe you got those darling seat cushions at the thrift store. They are so cute! I also love the wooden box! Your right the artistry is just wonderful! Sumch cute redness. Love it. Red livens any room up!

Evening, Dear Bo! Oh, you're too sweet! I appreciate you so much and I'm so glad I've gotten to know you! I'm still loving your reds and see a few things I NEED! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Good morning back to you Bo. We are going to have snow today. We can't even see our mountains this morning. It is dark out too. I feel sunny though. We are listening to Nat King Cole and relaxing in front of the fireplace. Maybe I'll get Bill to play a game of cards. That will liven things up. He hates to lose. big smile.
Have a wonderful Sunday all the way over there in Texas. I wish we could be neighbors. LOL. We would talk the day away.
Hugs and love...Jeanne

Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Hey Bo, I wanted to congratulate you on winning Shelia's wonderful giveaway. I'm sure glad it went to someone I really like because I would have given my eye teeth for that little ole rooster pillow she made. I see from all of your redness and roosterness that it will fit in quite nicely in your home.
Enjoy it! Hugs, Bridget
Hi Bo, Thanks for your nice compliments on my piano room! It's bright just like the rest of the house. you sure have been winning lots of blog giveaways lately. Congrats! You deserve it! Kristen

I stopped by to say CONGRATULATIONS on winning Shelia's giveaway!!!! I'm going to want to steal that pillow you won away!
Hi Bo, I have been in Atlanta all day visiting my sister while Bill bought some new hearing aids. I just stopped over to say hello and goodnight. It is about 2 & 1/2 hrs. to Atlanta so it was quite a day.
Love ya...Jeanne
Love that red canister set and those little cook fellows :)
Blessings,
Sher
Loved all your reds Bo.
I've missed visiting with everyone and trying to play catch up!!
Hi Bo, I had to be at therapy by 8:15am and when I went over to Diane's this morning There wasn't any Mr.Linky. Bill dropped me off at my sister's house in back of me and when I came home about an hour ago, still no Mr. Linky. This happens to me all the time. I have no idea why. sigh. Most of the time Beverly links me on Sally's blue Mon. for the same reason.
I hope you are having a sunny happy day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Bo, I had to come back and congratulate you for winning Penny's drawing for her mosaic piece. Lucky you. I kept forgetting to tell you how happy I am for your win. It will be fun to see how it looks when done. Penny is so talented.
Hugs again...Jeanne
Hi Bo!!! Girl your REDS are great! I only have a red coat and a two red dresses! And who could get tired of your mural, it's very very lovely! Deb
Bo, I'm laughing like crazy. I'm losing it huh??? I forgot, it WAS SHEILA. You have to understand how tired I was this afternoon. I went to bed after I visited you and a few others. In fact I just woke up. I guess I have Penny's blog on my mind. Did I tell you that I bought her rooster tray she posted this past week. Go check it out. As of yesterday she was still showing it as sold. I love that tray.
Anyway don't spread it around that I am a little out of it. Smiling BIG. Oh, I just went over to Diane's and Mr. Linky was there. LOL.
Love you gal...Jeanne
It's me again...I just saw you won a blog makeover at Southern lady's blog. Congrats!!
Oh my...what beautiful REDS!!!
;-)
