I have quite a few birdhouses in the garden but these, mostly painted in my signature red paint, are some of my favorites. They are getting very old and very worn, sometimes I think that it is the many coats of paint that keeps them from falling apart ~ still I keep patching them back together because I love them.

    I think the row of birdhouses is just darling.

    We have a birdhouse hanging from a tree in the backyard that the birds have stuffed so full of whatnot that it's about to burst open. My husband is waiting for the babies to leave the nest and the parents to fly south later this year so he can put a few nails in it.

    Hello Adrienne:
    Absolutely splendid and the 'house' colour is superb. And what a match to the hollyhocks! Chance or planned, we wonder?

    I love the old paint on things. It looks so well used ,just as a birdhouse should look. If it looks too new they may think no one has used it and they wont use it either. Homes have stories of different families even birdhouses. Kathy

    Lovely birdhouses. The first one is my favorite. We have a few in our yard that could do with some new paint. You've inspired me to take some pictures over the weekend.

    The first one looks like a grand cottage for a lucky bird!

    How many of them have families? I have a few in the garden, but for some reason they are seldom used!

    Funny how birds don't care about paint - they just care about a place to lay their eggs and raise their babies. I've always waned to do a collection of bird houses in one spot of our garden and name it 'Katie Town ... a spot for wayward birds' hahaha!

    Enjoyed the post and all the best, Katie from

    I was looking through my pics the other day & noticed I had a birdhouse pic from your place... what a great reminder of your beautiful gardens!
    Are you getting some respite from the heat? and getting to putter in the yard? enjoy the weekend... we are decluttering & cleaning out stuff. John's been canning jam too!

    I have come to you via Cro. We have a garden thronging with birds here on my Welsh hillside but no birdhouses. I think they live in hedges and trees. At the moment the blackbirds are sharing the raspberries with us. I love your birdhouses though (and agree with your previous post about walking too!)

    I have big old black starlings, so I do not put up a birdhouse. You certainly have a nice variety and styles.

    I think even the birds can enjoy the primitive and the shabby. Your birdhouses are precious, Char

    Beautiful birdhouses, Adrienne. Do the birds actually nest in there or are they more of decoration? The photo of the birdhouse and the deep red hollyhocks is so beautiful!

    I love your birdhouses! My daughter and I are painting a bunch of birdhouses that we are going to hang on our fence. I hope you come back to my blog and check them out when they are done!

    I love your birdhouses! And I love the red too. I'm actually in the process of painting my shed RED. I was a little nervous at first, but I'm loving the pop of color in my back yard. :)

    I love the birdhouse in the first image...A LOT! It's quite charming. Your "signature" red adds an extra splash of vibrant color to your already beautiful garden.
