30 year old birdhouse found in a thrift store. Great find!Devine Birdhouses
Decorating schemes soar with these colorful shelters.
The notion of a cozy hose is as appealing to finches, robin and wrens as it is to you and your family. And birdhouses, whether designed to blend into their natural surroundings or provide a lively spot of color, double as decorative accents even indoors--with faux birds.
From the purely practical side a wooden box with a simple portal will do, but hanging a lovingly painted architectural folly shows off your romantic sense of style. Creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece is easy. Store-bought houses can quickly be transformed with handcrafted upgrades--picket fences, weathervanes or shutters--or embellished with materials that reflect your passions.
Originally devised to attract songbirds to the garden, fanciful birdhouses strike a decorative note indoors or out. In the same way that a single rose is beautiful but an entire bouquet is bteathtaking, a solitary birdhouse is beguiling. Displaying a flock of these avian havens, however, makes any decorating scheme truly take flight.
TWICE AS NICE A garden bench makes the perfect roost for a spectacular blue and white duplex with a steeple penthouse.
