Curbly

So, I thought this was so cool I desided to make one for me. But in yellow!

Love this

Just completed this for my front porch, alternated pots with a light and a dark blue. I also didnt add the bird bath. Added rocks to the bottom of the lower pot. It was extremely easy and too cute! I have cars slowing down to look. : )

My daughter and I are working on this project today! We just finished painting the pots, super excited to see the end result. Thanks!!

What a cute idea! I think a clay pot tray would work for the bird bath. I think I'll make two. One for a bird bath and one to put food in for them.

Bird Lover,

Thanks for that info, I had no idea!  Instead of repurposing a light fixture piece, I'm sure a pretty thrifted pie pan would be a great solution.  Your suggestion of adding rocks is a great idea too!

To the anonymous Bird Lover, thank you for your post. I thought that the bowl on top looked too deep and steep-sided to be safe. Love the idea, but I'll definitely use something more appropriate for the bath.

I am totally stealing this for a totem planter for our front porch (minus the birdbath)

Cute, but NOT bird safe. The bowl for the bird bath should be MUCH shallower, gently sloping, and filled with no more than 3 inches of water.

From the birding section at About.com: The optimum depth of a bird bath is 1-3 inches deep. Water that is any deeper will be too awkward for even the largest backyard birds to bathe, and very small birds wouldn't be able to use the bath except at the very edge. Adding a shallow dish in the center of the bath or using rocks to adjust the depth can make a deeper bath more accessible to all backyard birds.
