Lee and Kristin wanted to bring some colour and interest to the entry way, but in keeping with natural tones. Resene Easy Rider on the walls works well with the lighter American oak timber and the burnt yellow within the David Trubridge pendant light. Resene Sea Fog is painted on the other walls. 

As a contrast to the black timber in the kitchen, and to add brightness and light, the couple painted the kitchen Resene Sea Fog, with Resene Half Sea Fog on the ceiling. 

For the main living areas, they wanted a grey white to give a softer, more muted feel. The walls are painted in Resene Sea Fog, and ceiling in Resene Half Sea Fog.

For the master bedroom, Lee and Kristin wanted a luxurious, cosy feel, painting the walls in Resene Inside Back for a sense of snugness. The ceiling is painted in Resene Half Sea Fog.

Six-year-old Emme chose pink for her bedroom, but Kristin was keen to steer clear of anything too bright or lolly pink that her daughter might tire of quickly. She focused on more dusky and pale pastel shades, painting the room in Resene Abercrombie and Resene Milk White. The ceiling is painted in Resene Half Milk White.

For eight-year-old Bella's bedroom, they wanted something clean, contemporary and restful. The room is painted in Resene Reservoir and Resene Milk White, which ties in nicely with the coral, copper and white accents in her room. The ceiling is painted in Resene Half Milk White.

In the bathroom, the angaglypta wallpaper on the walls was originally painted black. Lee and Kristin felt black was too dark for such a small room but still wanted something a bit more dramatic and intense... they repainted it in Resene Elephant. The wallpaper is from Resene, but out of stock. Get a similar look with Anaglypta 2011 Code RD0151, available from Resene ColorShops.
