Purely paint

Following the recent purchase of their 70s original styled home, Alison got creative urges to update and freshen the look while retaining the classic 70s character, on a limited budget. A friend gave advice on removing the several layers of wallpaper painlessly. So that was it, there was no stopping Alison and she's working her way through painting the house.

Pictured are the results in their kitchen; a small bit of effort for a stunning fresh result. This colour scheme has given the kitchen a homely, but classy ambience. It has to be noted that this fabulous makeover was done exclusively with paint. It is astonishing what a difference a pot of paint can make.

The transformation on this kitchen has so inspired Alison she has now moved on into the lounge using mainly Resene Wan White, with Resene Quarter Crisp Green. The Resene Quarter Powder Blue and Resene Pearl Lusta also feature on the interior.
