Let’s do lunch


Resene – Paint project, from Homestyle magazine

… and make it a long one like we’re summering in the Mediterranean at laden tables set up on the deck, in the backyard or at the beach.

graphic trestle tabletop


Set the table

  • To recreate this graphic trestle tabletop, take note of our design — it’s dynamic, with lines and shapes that allow an interplay between our selected colours, yet uncomplicated to mask with painter’s tape. We used a roller to paint the entire table with two coats of Resene Lustacryl tinted with Resene Cararra. Once dry, mask out your pattern before painting over the top with two coats of Resene Lustacryl tinted with Resene Aviator. Allow to dry, then remove the tape.
