Design Your Birdcage

I have been seeing the shabby chic birdcage trend grow into the transitional realm for a while now, and I thought I'd try the look myself. As with most of my decor, I had to make the look my own before I could display it. I started with a rustic finish birdcage that matched my decor.

I inserted an orange candle into the birdcage to compliment my orange and red damask cushion on my outdoor sofa.

I then bent silk leaves into a circle so they would wrap "naturally" around the candle, and inserted orchids for some modern elegance.

 The result was magical!

 .....And it's even prettier at night!

 Try this creative touch in your own lanterns and bircages, and let me know the result!
