This colourful kitchen has won Christchurch
homeowner Jeannie Steer this month's prize of $500 worth of Resene vouchers
and a bottle of Daniel Le Brun bubbly.
Jeannie Steer disliked the insipid peachy cabinetry in her kitchen so
much that within a week of moving into her townhouse she'd completely
repainted it. She took inspiration for the Resene Waikawa Grey from
the dark grey grout in the terracotta-tiled floor and the bluish tones
in the grain of the rustic timber breakfast bar top. "The old colour
was just ghastly but at least the cupboards were wood and they could
easily be repainted," she says.
Jeannie didn't bother with test pots - she made her decision
straight from the colour charts, ordering two one-litre pots to do the
cupboards and the two wall shelves. "I was very motivated and it
was so exciting to do it."
Colourful coffee mugs, a new blue bowl and a non-slip
doormat complete the look.
