Painted Birdhouses
A birdhouse is a great addition to any yard, but we all like
to come up with something unique for our yard. One easy way
to create a unique birdhouse is to add a painted birdhouse.
You can start with a reasonably priced wooden bird house, and
with a little creative paint job end up with a personalized
addition to your back yard.
But the fact is that as we invest in a birdhouse, we often
want to dress up the look of our yards in other ways as well.
To add a decorative birdhouse can add not only the native
birds to the residents of your home, but it can be a visual
treat in itself. And there are such a wide variety of
decorative and fancy birdhouses that the collection of a few
birdhouses can become a hobby of its own. Here's a few ideas
on some unique themes for bird houses.
Types of Decorative Birdhouses - This list is virtually
endless. Some of the favorite types of decorative birdhouses
include:
Victorian Birdhouses - Evoking memories of large Victorian
mansions, these go back to a different time and place.
Cottage Bird Houses - One the other end of the scale from a
Victorian bird house are cottage bird houses. Imitating an
intimate small cottage, these are often home to many smaller
birds. They come in a wide range of colors and styles, and
can fit in a small niche in any yard.
Of course there are many other styles of painted birdhouses
to be found. Creating bird houses seems to unleash the
creativity of many artisans, so take a look around, and
you're sure to find something that strikes your fancy.
