Stripes stripes stripes
When 12 year old Karima and her family moved into their new house everything was cream - the walls, the floors and the curtains. She asked her mum whether she could paint her room, creating much surprise when she unveiled her sketches.

Her mother made a few adjustments like angling the stripes and not painting stripes behind the pinboard, but otherwise the finished room is very similar to the original sketches. After buying the paint - Resene Eastern Blue, Resene Atlantis, Resene Gorse, Resene Cranberry, Resene Pizazz and Resene Seance - it took 6 months to get the decoration underway, with her mum now raving about how good the new masking tapes are.

Once the room was finished they had a grand opening - the neighbours arrived with champagne and a ribbon was cut across the door.

With the curtains, the pinboards with her favourite horses and the colours, Karima's room is one of a kind!
