Some of you might recall this beautiful
vintage birdcage
I scored during my Michigan's Longest Garage Sale adventure this past
summer. I innocently asked you whether or not I
should paint it and the resounding answer was no! So I've left it
alone for now, but I can't promise anything, especially once spring rolls
around.
There are so many things you can do with birdcages from a decor standpoint.
I want to share some great birdcage decorating ideas with you, but
first I want to share how I recently used my own birdcage. I managed
to clean it up and use it for Christmas decorating this year.
Chickadee number one inspired me to fill it with ornaments for a simple, yet
festive, look.
I ended up with a ton of red ornaments from Goodwill after a
post-Christmas score last year, and I was happy to have them this year to
fill the new bird cage. I used every one!
I added a pre-made burlap ribbon to the top of the cage.
I thought it worked well in my foyer vignette, but what I really want to
see is a sparkling chandelier hanging from the inside of it.
Vintage Bird Cage Chandelier Extra Large
Now I've seen other so-called "bird cage chandeliers" come up when you
google the term, but they're mostly just bird cages with a traditional
light fixture inside of it. Nope, not what I'm looking for. I'm talking the real deal, folks. A dripping-with-crystals true-blue chandelier like the one from
Restoration Hardware.
I've actually seen some small crystal chandys sold by Ikea and Hobby
Lobby, so I'm pretty confident that if I don't find one in my thrifty
travels first, I can pick one up there for a reasonable price when I'm
ready to add one to my own bird cage. Stayed tuned for that
transformation.
Since there are probably a million ways to incorporate bird cages
into your everyday décor, I've taken the liberty of choosing
just a few examples that I love and think are doable for just about
anyone.

I've been known to do this myself -- place bird cages on top of books
and fill them with natural elements.

I've even been known to place vintage books inside some of my bird
cages, although I can't say that I have a bird cage that's anywhere near
as impressive as this one! Don't you just love it?
There are many ways to use them outside as well. I love how they're used for this casual farmhouse dinner.
And flowers are always a welcome addition.
Candles are yet another simple, yet romantic idea, too. Just watch out if
it's made of wood!
Well, that's it until next time, friends!
