Reborn

In just two years of living in their ex-rental home, Denise has managed to have a child as well as redecorate the house top to bottom, add colour to the garden and still stick to a limited budget! Redecoration has also included the retiling of the bathroom and the addition of a deck.

The lounge, hallway and one bedroom have been finished in Resene Pavlova. Keeping with warm hues, the laundry features Resene Golden Sand, the bathroom Resene Deep Koamaru and two feature walls are finished in Resene Lou Lou and Resene Tamarillo.

The outside has also enjoyed a burst of colour with the freshly Resene Paua painted outdoor furniture, pots and dinghy suiting the coastal themed landscaped garden perfectly.

In most cases, paint application was easy with the new colours being applied directly over the old wallpaper. Once tired and dull, this home now bursts with life and energy. As Denise herself says, 'we were so excited with the colours every time we opened the paint can!'
