Back in November we added a bunch of birdhouses to the back fence of our yard just over our flower garden. And as much as I wanted to like these birdhouses on this shelf on the back fence, I didn’t.
Now, I do like having birdhouses, but I wasn’t a fan of the multiple colors or where they were located.
This is a picture of our flower garden from last July, and if our flowers do half as well as they did last summer, I want the flowers to make the statement, not the birdhouses.
So, between yesterday and today, not only did I paint them, I moved them too.
I took the shelf down and attached them directly to the fence.
I use the same three colors of brown, bronze and tan for all of the birdhouses and even if the birds don’t like them, I do.
We found these two ceramic “milk” jugs on one of our consignment shop runs and thought they’d be cool to use as birdhouses. I hung them up in our veg garden where the grape vines grow.
Who knows if we’ll ever actually have any birds set up house in our birdhouses, but between the flowers, the pond and the bird seed we set out, if I were a bird, I know I sure would!
