Sue McGuinness from Eltham, Taranaki, had an ingenious
way of choosing exterior villa colours - it's won her this month's prize
of $500 of Resene vouchers.
Keen to get her exterior colour scheme right, Sue McGuinness
used Resene testpots to paint several enlarged photocopies of snapshots
she'd taken. Sue used Resene Splash on the weatherboards, Resene Rhino
on the architraves and fretwork, Resene Tussock on the front bargeboard
and the window frames and Resene Putty on the verandah posts and floor.
Sue's hardest decision was choosing between blue Resene Rhino and burgundy
Resene Lonestar, which she used instead on the empty Resene paint buckets
now filled with plants. For her cow planters she used Resene Tussock
and Resene Rhino. Sue also used Resene Rhino on the fence and her folk
art talents to decorate her letterbox.
"The house has turned out even better than I anticipated,"she
says.
