I'm not sure I have suggestions for your birdcage, but I know I'm going to have to go get one myself. :) Question, though... where did you get your lamps from in that first picture with the birdcage? They are adorable! And just the style I'm looking for - for my bedroom. Anyway, if you have time, send me a note.

That is totally me and Sonic has the best cokes and sweet tea! My favorite thrift store is just a couple of blocks away from Sonic so thats where I head to next! Thats my 'special' time. I even turn my cellphone on silent so that I can shop in peace! LOL<BR/><BR/>We don't have a Hobby Lobby here, but when I go to Hattiesburg or Hammond, La. that is one of my 'have to' stops! They have great stuff! My other favorite store is Tj Max! I love that store!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I like your birdcage on top of your armoire. Just keep changing it with different accessories and I'm sure that you will get it just like you want it.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Lee LaurieA Southern Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474441937098224092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288378010551182384.post-46165734356562116742009-03-19T07:18:00.000-05:002009-03-19T07:18:00.000-05:00I love it, but that is exactly what has stopped me...I love it, but that is exactly what has stopped me from buying one in the past.

If all else fails and that's where it is meant to be you could always spray paint it.

I agree that you could paint it, or I think because it is a substantially bigger piece it would look good on your armoire. I like the plate with it, I think you just need some other bigger pieces and layer them. Maybe some kind of sign on the wall behind it? Some big books beneath it to raise it up? I like the blues with it. Add some moss inside the cage and some cute eggs. I even like other elements of wrought iron layered behind. On my blog there is a picture with wrought iron layered behind other items, it adds just enough of a different texture with out it being to heavy. Just some of my thoughts, can't wait to see what you do with it. As for the kids and the first day of Spring Break, ours starts Thursday and the only good thing is I can break away before my husband gets home...my daughter babysits!! Yay for older kids!! I will be at that breaking point in no time though...I have 4 boys!
