P is for Princess

These colourful and charming painted terrariums are the perfect project to crack out your pink paint. Try Resene Princess, Resene Half Pale Rose or Resene Pink Lace for a cute and crafty finish.

N is for Niagara

Add spice to your kitchen décor with these scrumptious wooden bowls.

Resene Niagara is a showy peacock green that is sure to stand out amongst the flock. If you’re after a subtler, bluer hue try Resene Nepal; a muted grey blue reminiscent of snowy mountains. Crisp colours not your style? Try a tasty and warm Resene New York Pink. This shrimp pink is a fabulous addition to any kitchen or dining décor. Learn how to make these tabletop bowls here.

K is for Kaitoke

Travel around the world without leaving your kitchen. Paint your kitchen table a light sienna brown with Resene Kalgoorie Sands and embrace the heat of the Australian outback. Resene Kabul will leave a painted vase looking rugged and shabby chic with a hint of faraway spices. Take your table mats to new heights with the sophisticated Resene Kilamanjaro or create your own bold bushwalk linens with Resene Kaitoke Green.
