Magnet mad

Wanting something vibrant and fun for her 20 month old son Jonty's room, Sonia selected colours to fit with a cartoon alien border she had bought previously.

Resene Drover now features on the top half of the walls, combined with Resene Well Read, a lovely deep red, on the bottom. The duvet cover is from Spotlight - it has a space rocket on it and looks great on the car bed that was a lucky find from the Trade and Exchange. The bed made the transition from cot to bed effortless.

Resene Magnetic Magic has been painted onto two walls, amusing Jonty and his older sister Kennedy (6) for hours. The Resene Magnetic Magic is also on the upper half of the walls - although the kids can't reach that high it's a great place to display artworks without messy bluetack or pins.

The complete makeover cost $755 - paint $300, duvet $85, border $90, bed $280 and an already owned bookshelf cut down to half the size to fit.

This was Sonia's first painting project and husband Jon wanted nothing to do with it - his reasoning was if something went wrong he couldn't be blamed. Now he is the first to show visitors Jonty's room! Both children love the room and getting Jonty settled in his room to go to sleep is never a problem.
