Victorian Cape May Birdhouse DIY Redo
An unfinished birdhouse gets some Victorian flare with basic paints, shells and craft supplies. Bright colors and fabric trim add architectural flare for your feathered friends
Inspired by the seaside town of Victorian Cape May NJ a touch of sand, faux pearls and shells add to beach feel
choose an unfinished birdhouse, or find a thrifted house that needs a redo. Using bright candy colors call to mind the whimsical victorian design
spray painted trim becomes "gingerbread" woodwork when glued on as an accent
no need for perfection: mismatched colors and patterns add cottage charm
shells and a starfish are seaside accents
Paint on a simple bike to call to mind beach rides
This one is for indoor decor but outdoor friendly paint and lots of varnish should help an outdoor version hold up depending on the climate
