Pink Saturday!!! (super excited about this project)

Okay, so this involves a transformation of a bird house I made in 6th grade wood shop class. Where the girls weren't allowed to touch any power tools (so wrong, I know). Anyway, I thought I had a before pic, but apparently not. Let's just say it was a dark royal blue, with lots of clashing colors used for grass, flowers, and a tree painted on the front with the entry hole up in the leafy part. It wasn't cute- I hated it from the moment I painted it, but we had been rushed and had very little to choose from as far as paint colors.

Primered and missing half of the roof:



Finished project! Pretty and pink! (The little pink bird foot prints were left over from my 6th grade attempt to fix the disaster... I added glitter to the roof to keep the shingles from shedding the little black pieces.)

I decided to paint the inside gold (didn't worry too much about it since it's the inside) and install hinges on the roof when I reconstructed it.


A little wreath of flowers for girly charm and I added a screw as a door knob (my mom thought I was crazy when I showed her).

Voila! Now I can use it to hold things... my thoughts were ribbon or fancy scissors... my almost twenty pound cat's idea was himself... obviously he's a little challenged with his spatial reasoning skills.
