Feathering your nest…

Birds are all the rage in decorating! From birdcage lamps at Urban Outfitters, to vintage style bird prints on pillows at Pottery Barn to bird necklaces and earrings, these decorative feathered friends seem to be at the height of design fashion.

Harvey House bed and breakfast recently updated their Chalet Suite to feature birds on a textured plaster faux finish. The treatment added a lot of character to this already lovely room which also boasts a gorgeous field stone fireplace.

I really love using the images of birds in my artwork and murals,

so I am particularly pleased to see birds used in decorative items everywhere. You can see some of my bird artwork and prints, as well as many other bird related items, at etsy.com. Birds are whimsical, decorative, and classic. They have been used in decorative finishes for thousands of years. They can be found on many of the crumbling and patinated walls in Pompeii,
