The kitchen cabinets were stained dark brown to match the dining room table (get the look with Resene Deep Oak). One wall has recessed cabinets and Resene Triple Mondo was selected to match. On the other side of the kitchen, the light green Resene Half Lemon Grass echoes the lightest green tile in the mosaic splashback and frames the greenery outside. 

Resene Blanc was chosen as a neutral backdrop in the entrance hallway to highlight artwork and the colourful collectables on the shelves. 

The Resene Quarter Lemon Grass on the back wall of the hall picks up the light green of the rug and continues the colour of the kitchen back wall.??

Susan’s love of using blue and brown together manifests in the library with Resene Monkey matching the blinds and Resene Quarter Powder Blue matching the sofa fabric. 

Susan wanted this bathroom to feel soothing and spa-like. She chose Resene Double Biscotti to go with the limestone tile with Resene Half Biscotti on the ceiling. Says Susan: “I don’t like the contrast of a white ceiling in a room as small as a bathroom.”

Susan has made the laundry feel fresh, bright and beachy by using Resene Half Escape. This colour picks up the lightest blue in the mosaic splashback and goes nicely with the Resene Buttery White architraves and adjoining walls.

Walls in Resene Buttery White, while on the other side of the room Resene Robin Egg Blue echoes the fabric on the antique day bed and curtain, used as an accent colour of the doors and two large architectural drawer cabinets.
