TV inspiration

Watching an Australian makeover program inspired Margaret to decorate her own home. The program showed a similar coloured home with a deck and the wrought iron railing painted black. Following this example, Margaret used Resene Bokara Grey for the railings and front and back doors, a refreshing change from the original white.

Margaret dreamed of having terracotta tiles down the front and back steps, but after seeing the tiles on a deck of similar proportions, she decided to paint instead using Resene Prairie Sand.

Resene Atomic and Resene Alabaster complete the exterior colour scheme, replacing the old white and pale blue areas.

Now that the paintwork is finished, the home stands out distinctively from its neighbours.
