Bird Nest Shadow Boxes...

  As many of you know our master bedroom is currently getting a much needed makeover. This weekend I decided to make some art work for the walls. My love for birds & nests & shabby chic were all combined in these lovely Birds nest Shadow boxes...


I love the natural look of the nests & the warmth they add to the room.


I got these shadow boxes on clearance at Michaels for Three Dollars.. better yet they came with burlap as the background in the boxes, perfect, because that's what I was going to use anyways! I painted the shadow boxes white & Removed the backing on the shadow boxes because the nests were too large to fit with the backing. I glued the burlap background to cardboard I had cut out to fit the back of the shadow boxes & than proceeded to glue the nests to the background. TA-DA.. Bird Nest Art....


& Here is a Reveal of the new bedroom Wall Color!!!! So different from before.. I am not ready to reveal the whole room yet. But stay tuned because it's dramatic!!


These nests I bought at a local craft store. I am sure you could find them anywhere. These conveniently came in packs of four for $3.99. I think more art work will be added to this wall along with these shadowboxes for a more eclectic look. 




A little Close-up of the cute little nests... & the shabby chic shadow boxes





This is one thing I was working on over the weekend, along with some continued spring cleaning. I don't think spring cleaning ever ends for me.. I am so ocd about cleaning that's it's like "year round cleaning" all the time at the Galvan household. Some of my spring cleaning this weekend included: Setting up our new filing cabinet & filing all of our documents, cleaning all base boards, Selling a bunch of stuff on our local "yard sale" web page, & getting a bunch of donations ready to go to Goodwill, what have you been up to this weekend?

  1. This is awesome! So cute and simple! Will you keep them up year-round or alternate different seasonal shadow boxes?

  3. I did a little clearing out -- set things aside for goodwill, and consignment - and made 'corrections' to a project I'm working on, so hopefully I can get to the "Art" part soon! After all, the art is the fun part:)

  10. I may have overlooked this, and you may have already posted about this, but I would absolutely give ANYTHING to see a post with a step-by-step how YOU make all of your things shabby-chic WHITE looking! They look so PERFECT and antique-y. I'm not very decorative savvy, and step-by-step would be amazing whenever you get the time! :D I love all of the re-do's of things you do!

  25. I just found your blog through your hutch picture on pinterest. I love your style. I have the same hutch and am wondering if you'd be willing to share any tips with me before I take on that moose of a hutch. Like did you prime, spray, brush, glaze.
