A trapdoor ladder from Dillin’s bedroom wardrobe shoots into the kids’ playroom, where colourful brickwork and fun toys await. The upper part of the wall is painted in Resene Lightning Yellow, and bench is in black Resene Nero. The coloured ‘bricks’ are in a variety of Resene testpots.

Carrie loves black and white, so painted pinstripes in Resene Black and Resene Half Sea Fog for the feature wall and drawers in daughter Ellex’s bedroom. 

While Ellex likes all colours, she’s a ‘girly-girl’ at heart and loves purple. Her bedhead wall is painted with Resene Studio (purple) and remaining walls in Resene Pelorous (blue). 

All three colour schemes come together to create a room that Carrie hopes Ellex will love all the way through to her tweens. Resene Pelorous is the blue, the purple is Resene Studio and the stripes are in Resene Black and Resene Half Sea Fog. 

It took a little over four hours to tape the lines for Dillin’s bedroom feature wall. Carrie says the playful argyle pattern was fun to make but took a lot of concentrating. She used Resene Hot Chile (red), Resene Black and Resene Half Sea Fog. 

The bedroom is based on a golf theme due to Dillin’s love of the game, with a putting green carpet and drawers decorated with popular sport sponsors’ logos. The colours are Resene Hot Chile (red), Resene Black and Resene Half Sea Fog.
