Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog!


Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog. Whether you came here because you know me or happened across one of my birdhouses, I hope you'll enjoy my project as much as I do.

I enjoy painting birdhouses in my spare time. I ran out of friends and family to give them to, so I decided to start sending them around the world as friends, coworkers and acquaintances took trips. They send me back pictures of the birdhouse in its new locale, and it gets posted to the Google Photos album and Instagram accounts linked below.

The birdhouses always make people smile and bring a touch of whimsy to their new home.

If you're traveling somewhere and want to bring a birdhouse with you (or would like one for your home), email me at ProjectBirdhouse@gmail.com, and I can send you a birdhouse to help expand the project.

Enjoy!
