wall art, resene artwork, geometric art, wooden wall art, diy inspiration, resene java, gift idea

This handmade geometric wooden wall art piece Bayswater by Chatsworth Road has a striking colour palette that would suit many interiors. The green-blue colour combination alongside the natural and dark stained wood creates a wow statement. This piece is a blend of different sized wood with raised sections adding additional texture, and uses Resene Woodsman Pitch Black, Resene Black White, Resene Java, Resene Aqua and Resene Grey Friars.? See this and more gift ideas from Chatsworth Road

pegs, diy pegs, painted pegs, dolly pegs, wooden pegs, painted bees, bee pegs, gift ideas

These beautifully painted old-style wooden dolly pegs are a cute solution to the problem of keeping muslin shades attached to prams. That’s what inspired Kylee Dillane of Mila and Bree to come up with the idea, although you could always use them to hang out the washing as well! There are loads of different designs available from ladybirds and bees to polka dots, florals and fruit. See www.milaandbree.com.

jewellery, painted jewellery, diy jewellery, resene jewellery, diy necklace, diy earrings, gift idea

For jewellery with a difference, try this multi-coloured wooden rod necklace made from totara and these hoop earrings made with kowhai by Gwyneth Hulse Design. They’re painted with bespoke colours created with a Resene base in white mixed with other pigments. Other colours available. See www.gwynethhulsedesign.co.nz.

clocks, bamboo clocks, inscribe design, unicorn clock, hot air ballon clock, gift ideas

Beautiful laser cut clocks, made from sustainable bamboo, are a speciality of the talented team at Inscribe Design. We particularly love these two. The hot air balloon is in Resene Java and the unicorn is in Resene Pink Lace. Both come in a range of other Resene colours. See www.inscribedesign.co.nz.

There’s something very sweet and endearing about these beautifully made wooden toys by Deans Workshop.
