I have had some serious birdcage envy for quite a while now. “The Nester has eleventy billion of them (that she somehow manages to find for like 25-cents). One of my gal pals has a seriously adorable one on her front porch that makes me want to perform a drive-by birdcage theft (Zoe, I wouldn’t *actually* do that, so please don’t blame me if it goes missing). I’ve seen some cuties in antique stores, but I’m positive that once my dog was introduced to it, his teeth would its life in our home pretty quickly.



That is so pretty, Lindsay! Two thumbs up. 🙂
I love it with the ivy in it – my favorite part is the little birdie on top. Too cute.
Oh, that's cute, and yes, i agree that birdcages are much better with other dec. items rather than birds. Said items don't poop or spit out bird seed. yuck.
Oh, and I'm so glad to know how to spell ba-dum-chh…..:)

I am with the Nester and have found 5 just this year for under $1, but I can't decide what to do with them….I love your plant in there.
You are too funny about the lamp…some of us still think it's cute. 🙂
Ugh – just left a big comment and blogger spit it out. I have found tons of bird cages at yard sales but just don't have great ideas for them…love the plant.
Some of us still think your lamp is cute…you are too funny with that. 😉
I have that same birdcage and have been trying to figure out what to do with it. Is it okay if I am a total copy cat and do exactly what you did, turkey baster and all?
Great look! I love the climbing ivy in the bird cage. I might have to steal that idea, lol
Great idea! Might have to copy that!
It is really cute, the bird on top is a sweet little touch. I had a friend with a candle garden in a birdcage many years ago and thought that was so creative.
Cute birdcage! Karla got one from a junk store this spring… everyone kept asking if they were getting a bird. What's up with that?

Oh my goodness! Did you hear me GASP? I'm just reading away enviously looking at your cute birdcage and ivy and then out of the corner of my eye, I see … Martha at A Day in the Life… and my heart began to flutter! I am so excited! You have no idea how I have longed for a back40life vinyl; in fact, I want one of each 🙂 but for now one will do. Thank you so much and thanks random.org. I'm so excited.
I love that birdcage! So perfect with the ivy inside! As much as I love ivy, I just can't seem to get it to grow right for me. I tried a few times. I hope you have better luck than I do. Pothos is a no-brainer plant. I can't kill it. It's nearly impossible. I've got some of it growing up a ginormous version of your birdcage. I think that plants really help to give a home that little something special. Enough rambling from me.
Have a great day!

Your birdcage was certainly worth the wait. It is fantastic and very unique. Love the ivy too.
I love the birdcage too! also love your new blog header, thanks for keeping us do-it-yourselfers entertained:)
Oooh, Aaah! Love the ivy and the slender cage! What a great combo!
I think that birdcage is adorable. I love it. Also I wanted to stop by and let you know that I am moving in to the house, and VERY SOON will be displaying the photos of where I display the plates. I am just trying to find the perfect spot. I cant wait to put them out! They are all so gorgeous.
I love love the ivy inside. My wheels are turning. What can I grow ivy up?
Cute birdcage. Worth the wait 🙂
I love the new blog look. It's great.
I, too, have been looking for a great birdcage and haven't found one. My hubby would say the same thing yours said. Silly guys. LOL
I love the one you chose. The ivy will grow well and it's an easy plant to take care of. I'm sure it will do great. They do grow very fast.

Oh, Great. Now I want a bird cage.
It looks great and I will now be on 'the hunt.'
Wow a real plant, you go girl! I LOVE the bird cage.
Came here from Centsational Girl, and I'm so glad I found you! A hot glue gun girl who likes to decorate lamp shades. Oh yeah! And then decides she doesn't much like it. Oh yeah! Aren't glue guns fantabulous? Except when we burn ourselves in our enthusiasm? Love your sweet bird cage. I am a gardener. Ivy is pretty easy. Don't over water with your baster. Let it dry to inch deep before watering again. Try to keep dust off the leaves so you can watch for the little ivy pests that hide there. Husbands can be so silly sometimes…

Oh, and I added you to my blog roll straight away!
