Natalie added depth in the kitchen with cabinetry in Resene Half Tuna. This contrasted beautifully with the crisp walls in Resene Double Alabaster.

Before (left): The kitchen before was dark and hadn’t been redecorated for decades. After (right): Natalie transformed the space using Resene Double Alabaster on the walls and ceiling and with new cabinetry painted in Resene Half Tuna.

The dark living spaces were brightened with the walls, trim and ceiling painted in Resene Double Alabaster. This reflects natural light and also complements the family’s cheery furniture.

The walls of the master bedroom were painted in Resene Half Stack. This solid colour makes the space calming and cosy. The trim provides a clean finish and is painted in Resene Double Alabaster. 

Before (left) and after: the master ensuite was brought to life using the deep shade of Resene Half Tuna on the walls and Resene Double Alabaster on the ceiling and trim.

The smaller shared bathroom has been painted in the light blue grey tones of Resene Quarter Stack, which makes the room feel larger and warmer. The trim is in Resene Double Alabaster.

The powder room is transformed with the brilliant shade of Resene Blue Moon on the ceiling. The door, architraves and skirting were all painted in Resene Blue Moon to ground the ceiling. You can achieve a similar distressed cabinet look using Resene Hippie Blue and buffing the cabinet with Resene’s Karen Walker Vintage Wax from Resene ColorShops. For a similar wallpaper effect try an Anaglypta pattern such as RD124 from the Resene Wallpaper collection painted with Resene Half Tuna or use Resene FX Paint Effects medium for a multilayered effect.
