Have you ever wanted to create your very own secret garden? Learn how in this tutorial using repurposed items and a whole lot of creativity!I was so excited and honored when I was contacted by Habitat for Humanity to create a project using exactly what I love… repurposed items and nature! T

Today on their blog they are featuring mine (and Ava’s of course!) gorgeous and rustic secret garden and tea party. I had so much fun creating this beautiful area, and it has already been used countless times.

    Plus, can’t you imagine using the same basic principles creating other similar events? For instance, a wedding or even another celebration of sorts would be absolutely AMAZING in the woods! So many possibilities!

    All you need for this for this project is a few basic items like:

    • reclaimed windows
    • branches
    • mason jars
    • candles
    • curtains
    • and other decorative items to make this place special!

    Depending on where you would like to put your tea party will ultimately depend on how much work it will take to create. I first had to clear out a section of our woods since I wanted it to be tucked away. This particular cleanup took an entire Saturday to complete, but it was totally worth it!

I started off with a completelyyyy different version, and quite frankly, I was so disappointed in it. However, I just kept playing with the design until finally... this lovely was accomplished! The colors are all from the original piece, and then I used a clipping mask over this new design.

I've been using a lot of warm tones as much as I can. I tend to be a very cold-natured person so during the winter months, I do my very best to think all things summer to get me through! Plus, doesn't this seahorse just look so warm and toasty in its environment?

How do I even explain? They're just a wonderful combination of tropical yet southern, but exotic yet familiar. Happy, playful, soothing, and fragrant. 🥰
