Birdcage Motif Decor

vintage style shelved bird cage cabinet A unique collection of decorative birdcage inspired decor for the home.

I’m not sure if my lifelong fascination with birdcages and birdhouses has anything to do with being captivated by Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds as a child or if it’s their architectural aspect.  Either way, they capture my heart.  While the cages I’ve collected over the years are all vintage, these modern day versions would all be welcomed additions to my flock.  This vintage-style shelved cabinet is antiqued with slightly crooked bars and doors for an authentic aged appearance.

    As you know, I adore birdcages (though I like to keep them low-maintenance and therefore empty). This is a fabulous look!
