If you know what project I'm referring to and you know who did it, please let me know and I'll link up to her post.
That was a truly clever interpretation of the idea: but not the first. The birdbath in this charming front yard was the first I saw.
(I didn't keep track of where I got this image. If you know, please let me know so I can give credit.)I reinterpreted the enamel bowl. But not by much:
I found a wonderful wire plant stand:
I bent out the top wire loops by hand and placed the enamel bowl into it.
Then, we put a rock in it to give the birds a perch and to weigh it down.
I has a certain je ne sais quois, don't you think? My husband calls it "Bird Brain in a Bowl"
What do you think? I'm soliciting opinions. Is it finished? Should I spray paint the black base white to tie it into the bowl? Should I paint the bowl? Both? Or just leave it, in all it's rustic "as is" glory? What do you think?)
For no other reason than I want to play with some new friends, I'm linking to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.
Hi Alana!
ReplyDeleteReally like the birdbath, eventhough I find the rock to be bit unnatural, a gray rock would look better to my eye. But maybe it's just the photo twisting the colours.
If you do paint it, pleace don't paint the bowl, I like it's old look.
When are you going to show after pictures from the kitchen?! I'm waiting anxiously!

I'm with Leena, a grayer rock. Also a bit smaller and a bit flatter. I really do think it's cute!

P.S. I'm enjoying your blog.
My 2 cents is to leave it as it is. I like the rustic, simple look to it. If you did feel like you had to do something, I would paint the black to match the bowl.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find your email, and wanted to thank you for your comments at Schtuff at Home about my daughter's room. I found the House of Turquoise link on your site and I'm feeling much more confident about the color choice now. Thanks!!
