Renovation round two

The Garland family were three quarters through a large renovation when they were red-zoned by the Christchurch February earthquake. They were gutted to leave their beautiful home.

They then bought this 115 year old cottage and did some work before moving in. It was painted in two hits. They have used Resene Alabaster on all trims, windows, doors and ceilings. They painted the hall, kitchen and living spaces in Resene Quarter Foggy Grey. The office is Resene Quarter Napa. The bedrooms are Resene Quarter Sisal, Resene Linen, and despite not being a girly-girl, they couldn't resist the gorgeous Resene Blanched Pink from the Karen Walker collection for their daughter's room.

They decided to have a little fun with the bathroom and chose Resene Woodstock as it is both fresh and serene. Next job on the list is to paint the roof in Resene Grey Friars.
