So what am I going to use these cages for and why on my front porch? Well, for quite some time I've been seeing them used as decoration, usually at Christmas wrapped in all things Christmas and lights strung on them. But, being that it is April, I do not plan on using the cages for Christmas decoration, but for something similar that I saw in an issue of Lowe's Creative Ideas magazine (really good to get if you don't already!). Here's what they did (link under picture):

I bought the cages today at Rural King, but bought two different sizes and wire gauge size. I'm wanting to put one on each side of my front door, so I didn't know for sure how tall I wanted to get it. I also need to see if I have flower pots up in the attic or if I need to go buy some big cheap terra cotta ones at Walmart to use as a base. Then to find the lights. I like the big round lights they used here.
I'll post the pictures of the finished product....whenever I get around to doing it!
