SunDIY: Bird House

On Sunday I decided to decorate a bird house I bought for a pound ages ago. I had a few ideas of things to paint on it, such as colourful birds, or little hearts in red and white, but I decided to have a look on Pinterest to see if that would inspire me more. It was so interesting to see how many people have decorated their bird houses in really creative ways. A lot of people had actually designed and made the bird house structurally unique- looking like little hobbit houses etc or using found objects like door key holes as the birds entrance.

These nautical themed beach house style bird houses are so cute and slightly kitsch, but seeing as I haven't done anything along this theme before I think this would be fun for me to have a go at!
I really like the simplicity of this bird house. It has a really rustic look - which may be literal rust or made to look that way on rough painted wood! I like the burst of vibrant colour on the top and bottom.
This bird house design gave me the idea of adding decorations to the top of the bird house - the design doesn't have to end at the painting.
You can even attach objects to the bottom as the birdhouse is usually hanging - or just suspended on a wooden pole etc. You could attach some small decorations that fit with the theme of the painting on the rest of the house.
