Painted Lockwood


The varnished timber of their Lockwood home walls had darkened with age and gave the house a dreary appearance. After seeing a painted Lockwood home featured in a magazine, the Judd family decided to take the plunge and try painting the interior.

Living area

First they sanded all the walls, then applied sealer, filled and sanded the knot holes then applied an undercoat. With the surface preparation complete, topcoats of Resene Milk White from the Resene Karen Walker collection were painted onto most interior areas.

Kitchen

The same technique was used in the kitchen, including painting the laminated cupboard doors and drawer fronts in Resene Sandspit Brown, also from the Resene Karen Walker collection. The result has been a subtle complementary highlight between the Resene Milk White walls and the dark green benchtop.

The painted finish transforms the interior from aged timber to a fresh modernised look.
