I am in love with the beautiful bird cages that I have seen lately. The problem is, the lovely things are just so darn expensive! As always, I have found a more frugal approach to adding these items to my home. A few thrift store finds brought me some gorgeous nesting homes...perfect for Spring!
Green vines...most definitely not my thing...
...transformed into a beautiful white centerpiece.
I have had this one for awhile but recently decided it needed to be white.
And I am so glad I did!
This mini cage was too adorable to pass up!
I sat it on top of a little bird bath for some added height and bird appeal.
Isn't she lovely?
I also recently found these little signs at the Dollar Tree that had silly Easter sayings on them. I spray painted them with chalkboard paint for some fun little signs.
This is a sneak peek to a mirror I also found at the thrift store...you know there will be some paint involved! I also hope the little Easter treats are getting you in the mood for more Easter decorations...I will be posting those when it gets a little closer.

What fad can you just not get enough of right now?
So cute!! I love them all! And what a clever idea with those signs from the Dollar Store!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm into the bird fad. You saw my post a couple weeks ago! :) I do love the bird cages. I love the eggs, the nests, and I love it on kids apparel.
Hi there! New here so wanted to say I have added you to my favs and will back often!

Looks like you've been up to some serious thrifting, but it sure is paying off! They all look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAshley~
ReplyDeleteYour bird cages look fabulous! Now I feel the need to find my own bird cages! :) I like the little bunny garland I spotted too!
I love everything. Especially the cupcake sign.... I might need to steal, or "borrow" that idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.

Ashley, you are such an inspiration! It amazes me what you can create☺
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love birdcages but they are always so hard to find in MY price range.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know chalkboard paint came in SPRAY...That just got added to my shopping list.
I love that! Its so cute! What a difference in white! Jen
ReplyDeleteThose cages are so sweet. I've been wanting one like that forever! But, the actual bird r]craze that is flying about, I don't get it, at all. I see it everywhere, but it's just not for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little chalkboard signs. I didn't know that paint came in a spray can too!
All of these things are just adorable :] Thanks for sharin!
ReplyDeleteAll the bird cages are SO cute, but I can already tell I'm madly in love with that thrift store mirror!!! Gorgeous find!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the dollar store sign...how clever. I am not really into any fad right now! But I cannot wait till I can get started on that house of mine!
ReplyDeleteI love bird cages -- I've had my eye out for a while -- you found great ones! I am not too into the birds and just bought my first last week! But boy they are caaute!! BTW, I'm listing you on my "blogroll" tonight!
ReplyDeleteCute items. I love the bird cage & eggs.
ReplyDeleteI like the cupcake bunnies!
ReplyDeleteGreat scores and beautiful results!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! I bought a birdcage a few months ago...and just havne't had a clue what to do with it. It's really cute but I just set it in my laundry room waiting to use it. I loved your idea of putting it atop the little stand. I may do that myself.
ReplyDeleteI love birds...but bc so many people in bloggy land do, I feel like I'm jumping on some sort of band wagon. I really like crows. :) And sparrows.
I love the birds...I just can't seem to be able to incorporate them into my home! Hopefully checking out your blog with tons of cute ideas will give me some more inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the touches of spring around your house. I am on the hunt for a thrifty birdcage. I refuse to pay the big bucks they are asking for them at HL. I think my persistance and patience will pay off...I hope!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE what you did with the three birdcages. How Spring-y they look now. And the little bunny garland is also as cute as can be. : )
ReplyDeleteLove the bird cage! And the eggs. You're putting me in the Easter mood!
ReplyDeleteI love bird cages too. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love them all! And you do such a good job decorating with them! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all of your Easter decor! I like the bird cage white!
ReplyDeleteOk, I MUST go to bed, but your link to the painted hutch got me studying your post like a text book. :) WOW - you are AMAZING!! Can't wait to go browse the really old posts now and get all caught up.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a blast today? Yes, just a little jealous....ha - lotta jealous. And I'm following you now on Twitter, so that will be fun. :)
I do like the bird fad, I didn't realize it was a fad until I started seeing it everywhere. I really like anything French-inspired right now, and also anything Baroque (like your background wallpaper). I LOVE your birdcage, I see them in places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls - but I agree with you - they are too expensive at those stores. Great thrifty find!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome!!! I love the blog
ReplyDeleteThe birdcage looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove your birdcages. I have two, but I cant find a thrifty nest and eggs to put in it.
ReplyDeleteUh, yeah, birds, nests and spray paint. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your birdcages. I haven't scored any yet, but am stalking the thrift stores!
I love the chalkboard painted signs. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI just came over from the spray paint party post. I spray painted a $10 birdcage I scored for my wedding and then my sweet fiance (now husband) used wire clippers to cut out two wires so there was a slot for the birdcage to hold the cards at our wedding. :) You can see them here if you want: http://sundrenchedmoments.blogspot.com/2008/04/diy-wedding-birdcage.html
