NOT JUST FOR THE BIRDS !


SO HERE IS MY OTHER BIRDCAGE THAT I BOUGHT AT
THE THRIFT STORE FOR $5.00
I LOVED THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF IT AS IT WAS VERY
DIFFERENT. BUT THE PAINT ON IT WAS VERY GLOOMY
AND GLOPPY !


I KNEW THAT WITH A LITTLE TLC THAT IT COULD
BE BEAUTIFUL !!! ALL I DID WAS
A LIGHT SANDING AND DIDNT EVEN HAVE
TO PRIME IT I JUST PAINTED A BEAUTIFUL
BLUE BY MARTHA STEWART CALLED
MILK PAIL OVER IT.

AND HERE IT IS..









SORRY I TOOK SO MANY PICTURES I JUST
THINK SHES SO CUTE!

    Wow, what an adorable little cage! I like how you've juxaposed the white pencil starfish in the birdcage. The milk pail color is def one I'm gonna hafta try on SOMETHING. I love Martha, but Home Depot has been on my blacklist for awhile. Maybe I should give'em another try and check out the paint samples. Love your color choice. I saw you at PRIMP and I'm signing on as a new follower! Andrea @ townandprairie
