36 months and counting

The 36 month transformation of this 1960s house to a modern home of today required consideration, choice and confidence to carry it through. Smart ideas and design needed complementing with careful colouration for the end look.

The Markham family achieved this firstly by looking at their environmental surrounds also including the neighbouring buildings. Product quality and ease of use were paramount requirements for the foundation of success for their project. So with 30 years plus of using Resene products they were confident the Resene range would meet their expectations.

Inside they used Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Cloudy for the door/window frames and skirting boards. All internal doors were commercially sprayed using the same colour. The two splashbacks were sprayed with Resene Silver Aluminium and Resene Bright Red. Resene Frontier is used on three of the walls in one bedroom, while the remaining walls have been wallpapered using wallpapers from the Resene collection.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel tinted to Resene Nomad is used in the kitchen and scullery areas. Resene Half Spanish White covers all surfaces in the internally accessed garage.

To complete the interior finish, the feature concrete block wall in the dining room is sealed and highlighted with clear Resene Multishield+ Gloss.
