I spent a couple of hours in our garage this week
just sorting through auction finds, throwing out trash,
filling a few thrift store boxes...stuff like that.
Old rugs got thrown out and the floor swept.
I didn't get to any major cleaning but it was a nice
big dent in an overdue project.
When you clean out the garage, you find fun things.
Things like bird houses saved from the auction trash.
Then you just take 6 steps out to a tree and hang it there.
Instant charm. Instant decluttering. ha.

Oh how sweet!! Is that red leaves I see already???
ReplyDeleteIt's a Purple Leaf Plum tree...the leaves sprout that color in the spring! It's a nice change from all the green.
DeleteAnd look at you being first! :)
First---yes, I was totally shocked! Although it has happened occasionally here and there. But it's rare. Oh so rare. And we have those purple leaf plum trees around here as well... just none here at our place. Guess I'm anxiously looking for any signs of Fall sneaking in...... (heavy sigh)

I'm serving coffee! Stay and chat!
And no awards, please! Your comments are my awards!
Well, you know I love fall....my favorite! Our leaves don't turn until October, though.
DeleteLike the design of the bird box ~ I might incorporate it into my bird house product portfolio. The tree looks great too . . .
ReplyDeleteMy garage needs de-cluttering, interested? . . :)
I'd like to see your porfolio...you should make that a series on your blog posts! Bird Box Wednesday has a nice ring to it. :)
DeleteNice idea . . . I have two designs plus a bird table. . . .:)
DeleteI have a good one once in a while. :)
DeleteYes . . . indeed you do, and frequently . . . no just a pretty face . . :)
DeleteI miss my garage,,,lovely bird house, the birds will appreciate it I'm sure,
ReplyDeleteI hope a little bird has a nest in it! So fun!
DeleteWe keep meaning to de-clutter the entire house...but you know how it is. Does anyone use their garage for its intended purpose?
ReplyDeleteI have been in the process last year and this year....making some huge headway, too! And yes, our two cars are in the garage! But the boxes were getting higher and higher against the walls! haha....
DeleteAnd instant kitty toy
ReplyDeleteFor them to enjoy
What? Had to be said
Everyone needs to be fed lol
they can come inside and feed
Deleteand leave alone the little birdies!
lol but will they at your sea
DeleteOr bring a present for thee
Shadow at the feeder will still try and try
Deletebut I keep moving it way up high!
I adore it. What a sweet find.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tiny thing...so cute!
DeleteWell that's the way to do it. Cute birdhouse. I hung a cute little thatched birdhouse hoping for a bird family to move in. Found out yesterday that a family of wasps moved in instead. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOh how rude! haha....I have an old one with a wasp nest in it, too...or the remains of one. The bird house sounds cute, though!
DeleteHow nice that your birdhouse found a home in the tree. Looks charming!
ReplyDeleteIt does look better there than in a box in the garage, that's for sure. Maybe I'll give it a cute coat of paint sometime.....
DeleteThat looks like a lovely abode for a tiny bird. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it? Maybe a little wren or chickadee...it's very small!
DeleteHi Betsy - well done ... doing a little at a time makes sense. The little birds will love the box as it swings amongst the purple plum leaves - what a great little tree for Spring ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet little thing and I'm enjoying it as I drive in and out!
DeleteNow that's the kind of decluttering I can handle..move from one spot to another. It's when I actually have to make a decision to throw something out that I usually slow way down and eventually give up.
ReplyDeleteYou really have to be in the mood to clean out and get rid of things! When that mood hits me everybody better watch out! haha.
DeleteYou are a good woman to tackle the garage!
ReplyDeleteYes, well, I live with men that are hoarders....nothing would ever be thrown out if I didn't do it! haha...
DeleteAlways satisfying to do a little clearing out. I don't often find such pretty treasures when I engage with my 'glory-holes'.
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the nicer things I found, that is for sure. :)
DeleteLol...sounds like my kind of de-cluttering, moving from one place to another ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet little bird house.
~Jo
it's like decluttering and decorating all at the same time! haha...
DeleteIt's amazing what can be found in the garage when decluttering is in ernest.
ReplyDeleteLove the birdhouse. It looks perfect in the tree.
Now, how about helping me with my decluttering...it's something I sure can put off...over and over.....
