March is just around the corner and you know
what that means - our little feathered friends will be returning home from a Winter in warmer climes.

It's time to set up the birdbaths and clean out the birdhouses or, in some cases, replace them all together.

If you're thinking of building a birdhouse, here are some darling avian condos created with repurposed hardware and household items that might give you some inspiration:












A vintage toaster has been given a new purpose.



















 
















































This is some pretty fancy birdhouse real estate, isn't it?!
















Tins are a great foundation for building
one-of-a-kind repurposed birdhouses:


























LOVE the cooking theme, especially the vintage cookie cutter.

How darling are those building blocks?




But, at the end of the day, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

  2. Been looking out for whose going to get the best bird house we have, But so far no takings.
    Love the simple shoe. We have nailed an old wooden Sabot( French clog )in one of the trees hoping maybe the tiny wren might move in.

    If you would like a new follower, he follows everyone that follows him.
    That is something that we both believe in doing.
    He loves building birdhouses and your post is so very inspiring.

  5. Thank you for visiting my blog and introducing me to yours!
    What lovely birdhouses, they make mine look positively boring! Maybe if I hang a shoe on the wall the birds will come and use it - they aren't using the 'real thing' !!!
