Vintage caravans have never been cuter! These bird houses by Nashville-based design studio One Man, One Garage are handcrafted pieces of nostalgia for every backyard.

The design is based on photos a 1974 Scotty caravan, and features incredible attention to detail with striped awnings, window boxes, curtains, a spare tire, levelling jack, a welcome mat, two flamingos, and a classic Weber style barbecue.

The bird houses come in flat-packed birch cards, with 40 laser-cut pieces that punch out. The pieces snap together so no glue is required.

The finished caravan is approximately 23cm long, 15cm wide (with awnings), and almost 13cm tall, so it’s big enough to house a small bird family.

The vintage camper bird house is available from One Man, One Garage’s Etsy store and is AU$34.48 (plus AU$30 for shipping to Australia).
