Character home

Repainting the outside of her 1930s character home, Jan selected a double A scheme of Resene Astra as the main wall colour and Resene Apache for doors and shingles. Teamed with carefully placed Resene Burnt Crimson on bargeboards and exterior decoration, the finished scheme suits, and enhances, the house perfectly.

Finding the right colours was somewhat of a painstaking task with nearly six months elapsing before they found just the right shade. Once the colours were decided, preparation proved to be hard work. The painting itself was definitely the easy part of the whole job.
