Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm continuing my Garden Glow Up Series with the refresh of a vintage birdcage scored at a yard sale. If you also have some garden decor that has seen better days, I hope this post will serve as inspiration to reuse and recreate a piece without spending a penny
Although metal decor tends to weather our extreme Texas summers best, it still needs refreshing from time to time. Below is a quick before and after.
TIP: Prior to painting, give your piece a good rinse with the garden hose, remove/sand any flaking paint, and allow it to dry in the sun. Once it dries, apply two coats of the paint of your preference to your decor. Due to the ornate design of my birdcage, painting with a stiff brush worked best as I needed to reposition it a few times in between painting and drying. Your decor may be more suited to spray paint--whatever works best for you!
In case you missed it, you can find my first Garden Glow Up project here!
This was such a great find and I like the color you chose!

DeleteWhat a gorgeous, gorgeous find! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteA little paint can make such a difference! I love birdcages but don't have any outside. As I create gardens at this new house, I'll have to be on the lookout for one - or two!
