We've been having so much fun building (and growing our garden). It has become a fun place to play and hang out and we have all kinds of little creative projects to make the space even more special. The most recent project was a whimsical directional sign.
We used scraps from our wood bin.
We painted them with bright acrylic paint and added fun locations that mean something to us.
Next we nailed them to a post.
Instead of digging a hole for the post, we put it into a big colorful pot and added concrete.

Reminds me of the signpost in the TV show M*A*S*H - love how arty yours is. And the pot rather than on the ground. I feel like I could do this! Love that there is meaning to each place. I know which locations I would add to mine. I may just make one of these ;)
That´s sooo lovely! :) great idea
UUUUHhhh!
Yes, I am going to make one for our garden!!
This is going to be so much fun!!

I love it!
What a charming garden addition!
Could I love you anymore than now?!!! Sending this to my Pops, who I hope takes the hint to build it for me. XOXO
I did this when my boys were young! Not as beautifully, of course. Your garden, and these pictures (especially the first one) are the bomb!! I love the secret garden sign. I have one of those with my nieces, inspired by the book.
beautiful!!!!
I love this idea! I have a pin on Pinterest where people made a sign like this with all the different places they had visited as a family. Such a sweet memory!
This is such a cute idea! I love how creative you & your blog are. I think I'll have to remember this and give it a go when I have my own house
Alisa, I finally made it! I made a directional sign inspired by yours! *yeeeha*
Thanks again for sharing this great idea!!
Have a great and creative summer! :-D
Love, Sanni (c:
PS: Here's my own sign!
Your garden, and these pictures (especially the first one) are the bomb!! I love the secret garden sign. I have one of those with my nieces velg power , inspired by the book.
