playing around with living room decor again

I've been home sick with bronchitis all week, and there's only so much reading or web surfing I can do. And I don't watch much TV. It's hard for me to sit still, even when I'm sick. I'm a doer.

So, I played with some decor in the living room.

Here's the shot of the area I changed...

 I had some pretty bird notecards that were worthy of framing...

There's three floating shelves above the fireplace instead of a mantle.

For the bird notecard in the middle, I actually used three frames that I glued together.

A close-up...

Another shelf...

The third shelf...

Dug out my birdcages and a birdcage-like cloche for the spring....

This birdcage-like cloche was found at Salvation Army a couple of years ago. It was a rusty brown color and I spray painted it white.

And I found this birdcage at the antique mall by my house. Books in a birdcage? Sure, why not!
