Kitchen kind

Following 18 months of marriage, Lynette and her husband bought a 1940s house. The first project on the drawing board was to put in a new kitchen made by her husband, with cupboards/drawers finished in a colour close to Resene Resolution Blue combined with white walls and a wooden benchtop.

The kitchen in place, it was time to refurbish the lounge and dining room. Resene Almond Frost now adorns the walls, a colour that mysteriously changes from daylight to night-time and again in low lighting. The built in bench seat was painted white and joined by squabs recovered in red vinyl, the closest match to Resene Red Berry. Natural lighting was improved by the addition of the window and the complete room scheme has been rounded out with brown leather couches to match Resene Sambuca and paintings by Lynette featuring room hues and complements of Resene Red Berry, Resene Sambuca, Resene Nero, Resene Almond Frost, Resene Raven and Resene Norway.
