Birdhouse Transformation phase 1

Ok, so I know that I should have taken "before" pictures, but believe me when I say that these bird houses were ugly before I started. They were painted an especially awful yellow (like the color of the plastic bottles that yellow mustard comes in) with the roofs, "doors", and trim painted either bright red, dark brown, or light brown. I have three vintage metal yard chairs that I've cleaned up and painted (well, the main color is done, I still have to do the cream trim on them); one is pale salmon pink, one mint green, and one light blue, which I used as inspiration for the bird houses.
After I slap on some poly, I'll add some embellishments to give each house its own personality. More pictures to follow...
