Can I talk my husband into this...I think not, but vERY New York, I might be able to talk him into the white jeans from the 80s though (we finally got rid of those a couple years ago from the back of the closet, a sad day for him:):)  This is ONE white that can STAY in the back of the closet!!!!

And my white (creamy white) House with the green door...

My new (old) birdcages.  I really think the addition is nice.

When I was helping a friend with the finishing touches of her guest bedroom, there was an empty spot on a tall bureau...I said "a birdcage would look great right there." She had some great roman shades made out of this fabric from Premier Prints. (which has great stuff, BTW) and I thought a birdcage would really tie the room together.  Then I thought....I kind of want some birdcages too.  

low and behold....

The next weekend I found these at an auction...they are very old wooden french birdcages.  I have seen lots of birdcages at flea markets and thrift stores and auctions.  Some great, some not so great.  They would be wonderful painted any color of the rainbow, and I think used wisely, they can add a layer of depth and personality to a room.  (these will not be painted as they are antiques and I quite like the patina).

These beauties might end up in my friends room, or might stay put.   The one in the foreground is my favorite.  With the green and pink, and pretty balls for feet.  It even came with a little egg (which my children prompty broke...it was very fragile)

What are your thoughts on the birdcage trend?

Sidenote: I was crazy busy with Halloween this weekend, so my little surprise might be  later this week.  sorry:)
