A couple of weeks ago our living room was rearranged and a black accent wall was painted.
There was no coffee table.
I have used this iron bird cage in our home and garden for a few years. Once we even had little parakeets in it. =/ The cage comes apart in three separate pieces. This was one of those Homegoods finds that I couldn’t pass up.
The iron base has been getting rusty and chippy from the weather – perfect for my living room.
Not too big but provides a spot for books and drinks.
I am trying out my new lens for my camera. Photography is not easy. I am practicing here and there but to be honest, I have not been having much fun with it, until today. I feel like I am getting more comfortable with my DSLR.
This picture is focused on the crack in my IKEA pot. Why? I do not know!
Please bare with me as I try out my camera that has been intimidating me for way too long.
I do hope you enjoyed seeing my bird cage coffee table. I like using unexpected pieces in place of traditional furniture.
Have a super fun day!
