Birdhouse Terrarium

My husband built this birdhouse/terrarium for me for Christmas.  I had seen them in some catalogs and at a florist here in town and admired them.  Because I love birdhouses and plants, it was a perfect gift! He made it out of cedar, used a walnut stain, then a black stain over that.  He put copper in the bottom of it to catch any drips.  I have been keeping the lid open and the plants are doing pretty well.

  6. Hi I saw you on Heardmont, nice to meet you :)That terrarium is just beautiful how nice of your hubby to make it for you. I love the old antique bird cages, I have candles in one of mine but never thought of plants, until now.

  10. I love this! Such a great project. I don't have much of a green thumb but I have wanted a terrarium for some time. I think it would be the perfect place to grow plants where the cats cant get to them !
