I heart my new birdcage!

I found this birdcage at a garage sale last week.  It was poorly painted and a little beat up.  I snagged it for $10, got home and googled bird cages.  The same exact model was on sale for $119.95.  Score!


After a some light sanding on the some of the roughly painted or peeling areas, I sprayed it with a few coats of black spray paint.  After that dried, I misted a light coat of Rustoleum hammered finish.  The color is a sort of bronze.  I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the color yet.  I'll live with it a few days.  Maybe I should have used ORB. 


Please ignore the weeds in the background.  I was cleaning out the flower bed when this birdcage called to me that it wanted to be painted...now.  I have some ideas of what I want to put inside this baby.  But that will have to be a later post.
