Jo, with her daughter Jane, in the villa's renovated kitchen, painted in Resene Just Right. 

The long term plan is to remodel the 90s kitchen. In the meantime Jo and Jeremy have painted over the beige walls with soft blush Resene Just Right, and have updated the cabinets in Resene Brown Sugar. 

After ripping up the lino floor, Jo dry brushed over the patchy timber flooring with Resene Solid Gold. As it wears, the texture of the soft, worn-gold metallic will get better and better. She also upcycled the stool, painting it in Resene Fuscous Grey. 

Three-year-old Jane wanted pink for her bedroom, and so Jo chose Resene Blanched Pink, a soothing, dusky pink. This was painted over Resene Wallpaper Collection anaglypta RD336, available from Resene ColorShops. 

Resene Blanched Pink contrasts nicely with the warm timber of the pine bed in Jane's bedroom. Painting it on top of Resene Wallpaper Collection anaglypta RD336, available from Resene ColorShops, gives it a classic look and fabulous texture.  

Jo has repeated the look in the girls' playroom, again painting the walls in Resene Blanched Pink over Resene Wallpaper Collection anaglypta RD336, available from Resene ColorShops. 

For the floral mural, Jo hand-painted the flowers using testpots in Resene Cream Can, Resene Galliano, Resene Half Smalt Blue, Resene Weathered Orange, Resene Moody Blue, Resene Resolution Blue, Resene Daredevil, Resene Butterfly, Resene Rice Cake, Resene Kermit, Resene Smitten, Resene Cornflower and Resene Citron.
