Up up and away


Resene Acorn was used on window frames and Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Spanish White on window surroundsRecently the Kaye family renovated their two bedroom bungalow by adding a second storey to accommodate our growing family. The decision to do the renovation was a big one but they are so pleased they did. Even on a tight budget and with work still in progress they think the result is awesome.

In the second storey they added three bedrooms, allowing their two children to have their own rooms - a great relief on their part. The children were involved in the colour selection. 9 year old Bradley wanted a blue room. They already had his surfboard duvet cover so opted for colours to match that. In the dormer and on a feature wall they used Resene Escapade and to contrast with this the remainder of the room has been painted with Resene Tasman.

6 year old daughter Maddison had chosen a pink fairy duvet but wanted a green room. Resene Soft Apple was perfect for the walls along with Resene Soapstone for the ceiling. They also used Resene Soapstone for the doors and frames throughout the second storey. In Maddison's room there wasn't room for a built in wardrobe, so a well worn freestanding wardrobe was painted Resene Classic Rose to match the pink in her duvet.

The colours used on the exterior work well with the everchanging colour of the sea. The weatherboards are painted in Resene Half Tapa with the trims in Resene Quarter Tea and Resene Half Tea. To add some colour, they painted their Cape Cod chairs in Resene Zibibbo.
