In front of a wall painted in the peachy rose tone of Resene Wax Flower, the desk and trestle legs are painted in the deeper apricot of Resene Japonica. An old kitchen chair has been repurposed as a desk chair, and painted in Resene Cutty Sark. See how LeeAnn created this study in the video above.

Rather than have a noticeboard, this grid of clipboards is much handier. They are all painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen which, with its more matte finish, can also be used as a chalkboard. Or you could choose to overcoat any of the clipboards with Resene Write-on Wall Paint, and use whiteboard markers instead of chalk. And if you need to take any of the info away with you, just unhook the board and off you go.

For the top of the desk, we have painted some old jars and tins to use as pen pots or planters, using Resene Japonica, Resene Wax Flower and Resene Cutty Sark, as well as book covers in the same colours as the clipboards.

The tins are also decorated in washi tape, a craft tape from Japan which is available from Resene that comes in a huge range of colours and designs. 

The tide-line effect on the jars is easy to achieve – LeeAnn's video shows us how.
