Compliments galore

Vicky found repainting the complete exterior of a very standard 60's house that was a boring white with green trims to a new colour scheme very satisfying, a feeling confirmed by the compliments received from friends and complete strangers, with some even knocking on the door to ask what colours were used!

In a departure from the norm and following a month of deliberations, an attractive scheme of Resene Parchment on weatherboards and Resene Bison Hide on the concrete plaster base were brought to life with Resene Tangaroa on the roof, spouting, windowsills and railings, and Resene Black Rose on the front and back doors, garage door and letterbox. The complete paint system took four months to prepare and paint by one person.

The avalanche of compliments and the satisfaction of a job well done makes the four months of work well worth the effort.

Thanks to Vicky Tunley of Wellington.
