For The Birds!

Springtime is always associated with birds singing outside our windows in the early morning hours.  But it seems as if our feathered friends are flocking indoors...in every room possible!  Everywhere you look birds have found a place in decor.  From the classic to the whimsical, they are seeking the spotlight!!! 

Here are some wonderful examples of birds in fabric, wallpapers, art, lighting and accessories:












A few now live in the A&A nest!  Anything chirping at your house?

Oh, and look at what flew all the way from Australia this weekend:

  3. Love birds, I had a custom chandelier made for my dining room with birds and blossoms. I did a post today with cocktail napkins with a little bird. You post some great inspiration.

  4. Lucky lucky YOU! Congrats on those pretties from OZ. I love birds, too, and the plethora of bird goodies on the market now is just great! I am bringing birds into our master bedroom, which is on the second story and looks out over the tree tops....birds in fabric and accessories, that is! I especially love birds in chinoisserie fabric and wallpaper. Happy Monday, especially now that BLOGGER is back up ~ hooray! xx Suzanne

  5. Are you able to identify the manufacturer and pattern name for the first two fabrics shown? They're terrific. I searched the Thibaut and Lee Jofa sites without much luck. Thank you!

  7. I have the Thomas Paul bird print in orange in my family room. I'm using it with deep turquoise..almost teal with black and cream. They make me happy everytime I look at them.

  9. Love that first fabric -- where is it from?

    And I don't really have any birds around the house (yet) -- but who knows where they may end up landing! :)

  13. Clever, clever post! We had a robin take up in our outdoor umbrella over our dining table. At first we weren't thrilled. But, through my kitchen window, we were able to watch as the mama sat on her beautiful robin's egg blue eggs...then they hatched...and finally all flew away. Love birds!

  14. That's a great observation... now that I think about it, birds really are turning up everywhere! I love the fabric in the 5th picture. Do you happen to remember what it's called? Just awesome!

  15. ME,
    That's actually a wallpaper by either Thibaut or Lee Jofa. The first 3 images are fabric, the next 3 are wallpaper. But, often there are fabric matches, so check their websites. Sorry I made this confusing, clearly I did this post in too much of a hurry!
