Did you know that when I was very small I lived on a ranch in Arizona in literally the middle of nowhere? No neighbors, no stores, no paved roads, but lots of animal friends. I had a pet lamb that I very creatively named Lamby, and I remember leaning out of my window to feed him giant bottles of milk. I once peeked behind the couch and found a king snake stretched out on the carpet. And cows would constantly roam around the yard, eating things out of our garden and peering in the kitchen windows. Sometimes rattlesnakes would crawl along the windows too. Of course there were plenty of mice and spiders and bugs. It was a magical and terrifying place to grow up.
One time my grandparents came to visit, and when it was time to leave they discovered they couldn’t start their car, because dozens of snakes had nested in their engine.
Soon after that we moved to town.
Anyway, Ashley’s kitchen makeover reminded me of that old ranch house a little bit because …
She has a cow in her kitchen too! I much prefer a two-dimensional cow. I love this modern farmhouse look that she’s created, so comfy, chic, and cool. And bonus: no rattlesnakes! See it on her blog Bigger Than The Three Of Us.

I would have been gone with “king snake behind the couch.” I once visited a friend who lived in an old farm house where apparently all the snakes hung out (and over) all of the pipes in the basement inn the winter. The propane delivery guys even had a warning on their file which said “snakes in basement” so that only the guys who weren’t afraid of snakes would come out. I don’t think I slept for the rest of the weekend after I found out about that. *shudder*
I absolutely love giant cow pix and would love to have this one in my house. No snakes, though.
