Working from wallpaper

They used Resene Sisal on the kitchen cabinets in a high gloss and Resene Quarter Parchment on the walls. In the bathroom they wanted the basin to stand out, so selected Karen Walker Powder Blue from Resene.

When their daughter was born they searched the internet for decorating ideas and came across the Komar Photomurals available through Resene. The Tulips mural graces their daughter's wall and their daughter now loves showing friends her room.

When choosing the outside colour scheme they took in a picture that they liked. Resene staff suggested a couple of options and sent them home with Resene testpots. Next day the decision was made – Resene Double Napa and Resene Alabaster for the trim. Easy.

The last job was to put a mirror on the old tank door. They picked Resene Dell to match the ivy leaves and painted the door frame so it disappeared, creating the illusion of an archway.
