About Me:

Hi, I'm Marianne, otherwise known as Songbird, and I am the woman behind the blog, Songbird! My blog is all about loving your home and your life. I frequently share simple yet beautiful decorations, fun craft projects, or DIY projects that challenge my guts and creativity. I love white, and adding color too. I'd describe my decorating style as industrial coastal cottage. Or romantic beach colors with a bit of rust thrown in. Blog - Songbirdblog.com Facebook - Songbird

Favorite area of home improvement:

I am the happiest with a paint brush in my hand. Nothing is safe from me and my paintbrush and (white) paint.

Window treatment for bay windows: double layered Roman blinds.

Sometimes one is faced with a home decor problem that doesn't have a ready-made answer. So the only thing I could do was come up with a solution myself. ...»

I hacked my existing folding blinds and mounted a double layer of Roman blinds on the existing hardware.

It works great and the change has given our entire living room a lift. See the result here and if you want to know how I did it, you can go to the link below for all the details.
