diy, drawers, flax

Inspired by the elegant shape of flax and colours of nature, Fleur painted basic drawers in Resene Waiouru, and stencilled a toi toi motif in Resene Flax. Drawers are a perfect canvas for getting creative, giving you enough space to go pattern crazy, or simple with a stencil like this one. Click here for the DIY. The wall is painted in Resene Tuna. 

scandi, diy

Bring the feeling of a Scandi forest with this super cool wall hanging idea. It was made using linen, a stencil and Resene testpot in Resene Good As Gold. Isn’t it gorgeous? Click here for the DIY. The wall is painted in Resene Tuna. 

diy, teddy  bear, childrens bedrooms

Looking for a piece of art for the little one's bedroom? Fleur used a soft teddy bear and Resene Cararra to create this cute print. It’s a great project for preserving the memory of a child’s special, well-loved bear or soft toy. Click here for the DIY. The walls are painted in Resene Eighth Canterbury Clay and the drawers are painted in Resene Pearl Lusta.
