At the heart of this modern farmhouse is the kitchen and living area, with a beautiful mix of Resene Silver Chalice on the walls and Resene Half Bianca on the trims and lower wall panels. Resene Tuna is a standout feature on the cabinetry. 

The floors are made of tawa milled from the homeowners' farm, and lead out from the living area to the hallway. The colour palette of Resene Silver Chalice and Resene Half Bianca also continues throughout. On the cabinetry, bold Resene Tuna is unique to the kitchen area.

What's a farmhouse without a fireplace? The cosy lounge is also part of the open-plan living area, painted in Resene Silver Chalice and Resene Half Bianca. 

The master bedroom lends itself to a more contemporary vibe, with hanging copper lights, statement bedding, and walls in Resene Silver Chalice and Resene Half Bianca. 

The dreamy ensuite was built with a partition wall of large board and batten squares painted in Resene Silver Chalice, separating the bathtub from the shower and toilet to create a sanctuary-like presence. To finish, they painted the walls in Resene Powder Blue with Resene Half Bianca for the trims. 

Hidden on the other side are the toilet, vanity and shower, against walls in Resene Powder Blue and trims in Resene Half Bianca. 

In their son's bedroom, natural rimu walls – also milled from the farm – look extra rich and warm against the other walls painted in Resene Quarter Silver Chalice. The trims and ceiling are painted in Resene Half Bianca. 

Resene Silver Chalice on the walls and Resene Half Bianca on the trims make a great pairing in the guest room. 

The homeowners chose Resene Delta for the exterior of their modern farmhouse, with Resene Grey Friar for the roof, and Resene Half Bianca for the soffits and joinery.
