    Painted Ladies was the nickhame popularized by architectural historians Pomada and Larsen. See website below.
    The style–mainly that in San Francisco–is also called “polychrome.”

    It’s really a stand-out in the garden. I just wish it was a little sturdier – had to glue the top in place the first day.

    I purchased this for a mother’s day gift. I was very pleased when I saw it. Much more detailed than shows in the photo. For the price, this is very, very nice. Only negative – I wish the stand was taller. It is much shorter than I thought.

    I got this birdhouse for my grandmother. She loved it so much that she kept it indoors so it wouldnt get dirty!

    this item is cute and easy to put together, all you need to do is screw the top (house) into the pole/base.

    Problem is the base is only about 3″ wide, much smaller than the actual house topper – Makes it very unstable. I’d suggest using it indoors for display or (as i’m going to attempt to do ) is buy a piece of round wood and glue it to the base or even use a plastic plate and paint it to match.

    it’s very small too – keep in mind the measurements. If you intend to use it outside, it’s so small and so short you can’t really see it out among the landscaping.
