The Story

Once there was a little house made of wood, not built from plans or blueprints, but from a picture drawn by a child with a big imagination and a steady crayon hand.

The child drew two happy figures standing together, surrounded by tall grass and heart-shaped leaves. Above them was a roof to keep everyone safe. When the drawing was finished, it didn’t stay on paper. It became something real.

That drawing was carefully turned into a birdhouse—each line traced, each shape honored. The hearts climbed up to the roof and gathered at the top like a quiet wish floating into the sky. Birds noticed right away. They always do when something is made with care.

When the wind moves through the yard, this little house doesn’t just shelter birds. It holds a story. It holds a moment in time—how a child sees the world, preserved in wood.

And long after crayons are put away and hands grow bigger, the birdhouse stays. Still standing. Still telling that story.

Custom Artwork Available

I can create a birdhouse from your child’s drawing.

• Crayon drawings
• Marker or pencil sketches
• Simple figures, hearts, flowers, names, or scenes

Your child’s artwork is carefully adapted—not “cleaned up” or redrawn—so it stays true to their original vision.

This makes a meaningful gift for:

• Parents and grandparents
• Memorial or milestone keepsakes
• Birthdays, holidays, or “first artwork” moments

Each birdhouse is made one at a time, with attention to the small details that make childhood drawings so special.

If you’d like a custom piece created from your child’s art, reach out through the commission request page. A simple drawing can become a story that lasts for years.
