Denise Croce is an artist, and she can see potential in what others discard. That's how it was when she saw 3 simple birdhouses at a yard sale. She got home, and painted them to look like the Cape May Victorian homes, with window boxes filled with roses, lace curtains, and gingerbread. She hung them in her front and side yards, and people stopped and asked if they could buy them. "For the Birds" was born, and now Don Croce puts in almost full time hours after his " real " job hammering beautiful bird cottages, and Denise paints full time the Victorian styles she loves on them. These birdhouses are made to last, and are fully guaranteed for as long as you own them. Don uses prime pine wood, galvanized nails, has screws on bottom for easy clean out, and paints with the best acrylic paint so they can be enjoyed by the birds for many bird-generations. You can request any color combination or window style you like.
