Bluebird Houses Made of Antique Rustic Barn Wood

We've enjoyed such success in attracting bluebirds with our own bluebird houses that we decided to offer them for sale as well.

Yet these lovely bird houses are not only useful, they are also beautiful being made from antique barn wood from our own farm. The wood has been weathered and grooved over many many decades. The old farm house on our property was built in 1910 so we suspect that the old barns are atleast as old, making this wood nearly 100 years old!

The pattern for making them came from the Missouri Department of Conservation.

The houses can be directly screwed onto a post outdoors or a picture hanger can be attached for hanging in your home as decoration.

If you prefer to have the bottom protuding wood pieces cut so that the bird house can sit flat on a mantle or shelf, please let us know and we will be happy to cut that for you. These houses are available for purchase in my etsy shop at www.belleadorn.etsy.com

A Blue Bird Nest With Beautiful Blue Eggs!

I must admit I am amazed by the popularity of little finch egg nest filled with speckled blue eggs. I watch traffic on my blog with feedjit and so many people find me with that post!

I personally love bird nests with eggs myself, so getting a chance to snap a picture at these blue bird eggs was a real thrill for me.

Someday I hope to get a picture of a hummingbird nest with eggs. Once a hummingbird made her nest in a waste paper basket on my inlaws porch! Maybe it will happen again someday.

This is their little blue bird house that my husband and sons made. It's nailed to my clothes line, lol.
