Re: My enchanted forest
Hi @KelleeKat,
First, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community! It is awesome you have joined and thank you for sharing your extravagant enchanted fairy garden project with us. Anyone can see that you have put in a lot of hard work and love into creating your fantastic forest. Any advice in how to plan the layout for someone looking to create an enchanted forest for the first time?
Great paint projects like yours sometimes make their way into our Top Ideas articles like our 10 easy ways to enliven your outdoor space. You may even find yours in there one day. We hope you continue to find Bunnings Workshop as a great source of inspiration and helpful advice.

Re: My enchanted forest
Good morning @KelleeKat
I kept scrolling through your pics and kept seeing more and more things! Love the depth that you have created especially with that painted tree. I first thought "nice" when i saw the bright colours behind the steel screens and then the effort to build the structure (A multimedia screen! lol) but once you built it up in layers, forget the multoimedia screen as you have one that keeps attracting with diamonds within it!
A very nice garden.

Re: My enchanted forest
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jcamp642. It's splendid to have you join us, and great to see that you've enjoyed this project.
Let me mention @KelleeKat so they are alerted to your kind comment. Does your backyard need a little enchantment too? I'm currently trying to locate a little fairy village for my daughter, so this is right up my alley.
We look forward to hearing all about your projects and plans around the house and garden. Please feel free to reach out anytime you need assistance or have something to share with the community.
