DIY Floral Garden Makeover

Oh I do love a pretty garden area for summer and was delighted to get involved with this lovely project for Wayfair's Inspiration Page.  

For the project I put together a tutorial for 3 separate DIY projects and enjoyed every minute of it. I even perfected my drilling skills and now feel confident to tackle those DIY tasks normally left for the man of the house to do, that in reality never get done, and that now I can happily do myself. 


For my 3 projects I made a super handy garden bench, some floral bunting and a reversible table cloth. The bunting and table cloth were made from a gorgeous duvet cover so I am now thinking of my own unused covers that could be utilised in such a pretty way. 


Those little fancies didn't last long but I managed to grab a quick snapshot of the pretty cut roses in one of my empty jam jars before they were gobbled up - the fancies that is, not the roses ;) 


I loved the finished bunting, perfect for the garden fence.


The bench started off it's life looking something like this.


Then was transformed to this.


Using some pretty accessories as a beautiful backdrop my new garden space is just a delight to sit in.


My garden table and chairs got a new lick of paint too.


Here are some of the items I used to help me create that haven of floral prettiness.


You can head over to the Wayfair page and my DIY tutorial here where you can have a mooch at the tutorials and the finished look :)

  1. What a lovely little bench! I'm very impressed that you made it; while I can drill and have been known to wield a saw on occasion, I'm not very precise and this looks just perfect.
