The look of the kitchen carried over from the Mableton home. At one time, Roy wanted to live on the Western edge of Cobb County. Marie didn't want to live that far out, so she joked she'd have a country kitchen. She liked the rooster look and began a collection that transferred to this home. In this kitchen, she added a rooster painting she found in New Orleans. It hangs over the stove.
