JIMT Idea: Birdcages
About six months ago I was visiting with the Junk Mafia when we got the BIG IDEA that I start a new segment on their Junk in my Trunk {JIMT}Radio Show. The idea for the segment was to take “junk” and talk about ways to re-use it in ways that are charming, functional, and unexpected, and thereby keep the dumpsters a little more empty, and the world a little more GREEN.
It has been a blast to watch the JIMT Segments take off, transform, and effectively work when it comes to thinking outside the box. Not only are the ideas ENDLESS, but the sources that we are working with ~ from time-tested magazines to stay-at-home-mom-bloggers ~ are BRILLIANT and completely inspiring.
Today is all about BIRDCAGES. They are everywhere you go when you’re out junking, flea marketing, or shopping antique malls. Some are simple while others are more ornate, rustic and full of character. What to do with the BIRD CAGE?? Why oh why are they all the RAGE?? Here are a few ideas to inspire you and ensure that you never again pass up a bird cage when you’re out and about.

Chandelier on a BIRD CAGE STAND from Poetic Home
If you find a bird cage stand ~ anywhere, anytime ~ purchase it immediately. Do not pass it up, do not be a cheapskate, do not question your actions. BUY IT. Then you can use for hanging a fancy chandelier as seen above, hang a rustic lantern in your fishing cabin, hang wind chimes, hanging plant, or even a piece of art!!!
