About the service
This is a decorative painting service, not a carpentry job: I take a finished wooden birdhouse — your own or a simple unfinished blank — and transform it into a unique garden art object using hand-painted folk-style patterns. If you already have a carved or assembled birdhouse that lacks character and color, this service is exactly what you need.
Each project begins with a brief discussion of your garden: what flowers grow nearby, what color palette predominates in the area, and what mood you want to convey — rustic floral motifs, Scandinavian folk ornaments, cheerful polka dots and stripes, or a whole scene with tiny birds and climbing branches. Before I pick up the brush, I create a sketch of the composition, and you approve the concept before painting begins.
All painting is done with weather-resistant acrylic paints for exterior work that withstand sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations without cracking or fading, and each finished piece is coated with a protective UV-resistant varnish to keep colors vibrant season after season. On all surfaces that birds can touch — perch, peck, or build nests near — only non-toxic paints and varnishes safe for birds are used: this is a mandatory condition for any order.
The turnaround time is usually five to fourteen days depending on the complexity of the pattern and current workload, and I'm happy to send photos at each stage — base coat, outlines, details, and final varnish coat — so you can see the birdhouse come to life. Minor color scheme adjustments are included in the price — we'll make your garden birdhouse so striking that you can't take your eyes off it.
