For the Birds.....

I had this bird feeder
that the squirrels knocked
 out the plexiglass
the door was originally green
I hadn't planned on posting
until after I painted the door

The colors I used
are what we are going
 to paint the house with

I used Balsa wood
 for the side panels

I forgot to take a before photo
of this birdhouse
but was at Michaels and
took one with my phone


I added this emblem
spray painted Oregano
by Rusteolum


The base was sprayed with
Urban Beige


It needed more so
 I added this to the roof
Valspars Burnt Plum


and the base is
Benjamin Moore's
I added a fence
that I got at JoAnn's


a little Aleenes

The walls
are painted Benjamin Moore

the roof is Valspar
alternating with 
Benjamin Moore
Norwich Green


The roof looked flat so
I glazed the whole thing with






Last but not least
yeah I remembered to take the shot!


The roof is Norwood
the body is Champagne





All together:

  1. Very cute. I have bought a few of those in the past and I always paint them very very boring. Like white house and black roof. Yours are definitely better. I like the little fence around the 2nd one.

  3. Cute. A good way to make them last longer outside, is to do a couple of coats of water-based EXTERIOR varnish.
