Our Chickens

 Our backyard chicken coop
we own 10 chickens and 2 roosters

















My very small kitchen


 If you look out the kitchen window you can see our chicken coop

It is a small space but very workable

spice shelf and knife magnet strip


 this little spot is for my 3 dogs
dog treats and framed dog quotes
"wake up hug dogs have a good day"
"3 very spoiled dogs live here"
"a dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself"

My husband made the pot rack with 3 plant hangers and an iron pipe

I just love my white cabinets
