Swipe for before and after pictures. A friend was going to throw out an old birdhouse that was broken and a mess. I took it, repaired it, and gave it a new life using her favorite tropical colors, and gave it back to her two days ago…. . . . . . . #birdhouse #birdhouses #paintedbirdhouse #paintedbirdhouses #birdhousesofinstagram (at North Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzeLq4uc6K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don’t Breathe 2 brings the Blind Man back to theaters on August 13.

In Don’t Breathe 2, the Blind Man has been hiding out for years in an isolated cabin and has taken in and raised a young girl orphaned from a house fire.

Their quiet existence is shattered when a group of kidnappers show up and take the girl, forcing the Blind Man to leave his safe haven to save her.

Peter Frampton‘s new release is all instrumental, with a really clever title. I decided to go old-school and get the LP version, signed by the man himself! #FramptonForgetsTheWords #PeterFrampton https://www.instagram.com/p/COLYgjpDiIQ/?igshid=160z1diqaevhf
