Wine Fish

So, a while back, I asked for suggestions for redecorating the kitchen/dining room area of my parsonage. The choice came down to wine or chickens. The polls indicated that the wine theme was the overwhelming favorite. So, that's what I went for. Though, I am still tempted by the chickens at times. Anyway, as part of the decor, I felt I needed a wine rack. I looked all over for ones that I liked, as well as ones that would look good in the room (they weren't always the same). Anyway, I was at a wine store in Dunkirk, NY and came across this cool number.

I like it for a couple reasons:

1) Uniqueness.
2) My living room has an outdoors/nature theme. It would ease the transition.

Anyway, here's the pic. Please note: the photo was taken at the store, not in the house.

Wine Vs. Chickens

I need your help, dear readers.

As you know, I'm doing some light redecorating around the parsonage. And now, I think the kitchen and the adjacent dining room are due for some assistance as well. The problem is, my kitchen is orange. Orange can be cool, but it mostly clashes with everything.

So, I narrowed the choices for theme down to 2: Chickens and Wine. My personal preference is chickens, but I have been told that wine is a much better choice. I will concede that wine makes more sense, seeing as how I live on the Chautauqua Wine Trail. But, I've really liked the idea of a chicken kitchen for a few years now.

What do you think? Chickens? Wine? Something different entirely?

My Christmas Tree

Here we have another example of me posting a pic simply for the sake of posting something.

This is my Christmas tree that I just put up a couple nights ago. I agree that it looks kinda weak for a Christmas tree. But, it works for me.

Enjoy!
