The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs..


My husband and I are expecting our 2nd child in Sept so my 2 year old daughter, Reese gets the exciting opportunity of a new room down the hall!  I'm still working on the colors but want to incorporate some shabby chic bird ideas I found online.  I just had to share!  This first pic is a lighting fixture in actress Kerry Washington's house.  Best part of all- the lamp was only $9.99 (IKEA) and the designer just removed the paper outside to expose just wires and attached chicken coop wire (Home depot, etc) and small birds (Hobby Lobby).  Very easy and adorable!  I am so excited to make this for Reese's room over her bed! I also saw this precious wall someone did in their nursery.  Sewing this fabric birds out of your own fabric makes it unique and colorful.  Then all you need is a big branch from outside!  I literally found one in my mom's yard that was perfect! :) Anyone else have cute bird or color ideas let me know! We ended up using some birds for an impromptu photo shoot later! Perfect prop.  Maybe I'll frame this to go in her room too?! God bless you today!
