Cabbage Tree cottageOver 12 months of careful DIY has gone into extending and renovating the Garrett home on Hawkswood Farm. Once a home for them to enjoy, now others can share in their surrounds with its conversion to a B&B. The guest area of bedroom, bathroom and toilet can be closed off from the open plan section of the house, giving privacy to the guests and homeowners alike. The house is clad in vertical board and batten Eucalyptus felled and milled on the farm. Most of the furniture, kitchen joinery and the expanses of flooring are timber and wooden venetians adorn the windows. The warmth of the timber theme provided the perfect base for some adventurous wall colour choices. To add warmth to the fireplace its surrounds have been decorated with deep red Resene Monarch. Many testpots later, and in keeping with the Kaikoura theme, paua colours were chosen for the master bedroom that looks out to the Kaikoura Ranges. A palette of Resene Kingfisher Daisy, Resene Eastern Blue, Resene Viking and a ceiling finish of Resene Double Pearl Lusta complemented by a matching duvet, gives a modern twist to a paua inspired scheme.
