Rimu work

The Stokes family 15 year old home was starting to look dated and in need of some modernising. The walls were all cream, so they decided to add some colour to bring out the best in each space. The bedroom was redecorated in Resene Voodoo with zarbar used on accessories, tying everything in well to the cream duvet.

The lounge now features Resene Crab Apple walls, which sits nicely with the dark teak furniture. The dining and kitchen area has been finished in Resene Olivetone, selected because it complements the extensive Rimu joinery.

The laundry has been found a new home in the garage and is recoloured in Resene Eastern Blue. Furniture in their daughter's room has been painted in Resene Vermont to work with other navy tonings in the room.

The rest of the house is now resplendent in Resene Biscotti, a colour with more depth and bite than the existing cream.

Even the caravan has enjoyed a lick of paint, with an interior now painted in Resene San Marino for a fun funky look accompanied by orange accessories
