minimalist birdhouse
inspired by the modern birdhouse we talked about a few months back, d*s reader courtney of two straight lines decided to create her own version, using eco (and bird) friendly materials. and to be honest, i like hers better! she used a found gourd that she painted with non-toxic paint and used little twigs as the perch. couldn't be cuter if she tried.

Great job. Love it.
I loooove this!! xx
that's gorgeous!
Courtney - sell these on etsy and I'll buy one
Oooh - I'm loving everything bird related these days...but I especially love the pear shape and eco-friendly design!
That is adorable!
I love this, wish I had a garden! IT reminds me of a retro cushion I nearly bought last night from Etsy.
the way it's positioned in the photo, it looks like a smiley face!
I love this!
How did she hollow the gourd out?
I have made these for gifts. Buy the gourds at the pumpkin farm, keep them in a cool place like your basement for several weeks to dry out(just in time for Christmas!). When you can shake it and hear the dry seeds inside, drill a hole in it and pour out the seeds. if you sand it and spray varnish it, you will be amazed - it will look like beautiful burled wood.
an instant fave! thanks for the link.
Weeeee! that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! ;)
