This renovation of a 130-year-old cottage, celebrates that elegant era, but with a twist – painting the upper walls in Resene Bounty played a key role

A great design will always address the principle needs of your home renovation. However, the magic may come in the form of more subtle nuances – for instance, the choice of a beautiful paint surface. This home makeover by designer Donna Hunter reflects just such an attention to fine detail.


This cottage makeover by Hunter Anderson Architecture includes having the bathroom’s upper walls painted in Resene Bounty, a steely blue-grey.

“The renovation of this modest 1880s fisherman’s cottage included a dramatic reinvention of the bathroom,” says Hunter.

The reinvented bathroom includes a sculptural freestanding bathtub, a shower, a wall-hung vanity, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating – all with a modern twist, while still keeping the cottage look.

“To recreate the cottage’s era I started with patterned floor tiles. These were ideal for the aesthetic the homeowners wanted. We then selected Resene Bounty – a steely blue-grey, patinated for an aged look – for the upper walls. This colour also became the basis for the kitchen and laundry.”

The refined colour was specified in the Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom Range. This technologically advanced range combines the benefits of a rugged waterborne enamel with Resene’s proven anti-bacterial silver protection and paint life-extending Resene MoulDefender – both ideal pluses in a bathroom setting
