When Leigh and Cory purchased their solid concrete 1920s bungalow
it had recently been painted Resene Tea throughout. Although they
had used this colour in their previous house it looked a little
dull in the west and south facing kitchen and dining room of their
new home.
To liven up the atmosphere, in the kitchen they went for a retro
look with walls in Resene Spanish White and a feature wall above
the benchtop in Resene Pohutukawa. The bold red really makes a
statement and complements the original Rimu cabinetry, which they
wanted to keep. The room was finished off with a new oven and
benchtops and whitewashed timber floors. A fresh coat of ceiling
white over the ugly apricot coloured ceiling tiles completed the
look.
In the adjoining dining room they decided to play on the room's
naturally dark tendencies choosing Resene Persian Red for below
the picture rail while retaining Resene Tea above. The new dining
room has a very dramatic atmosphere and is a very enjoyable room
to spend time in.
The bathroom is the next room in progress with Resene Biscotti
destined for the walls.
