Your Home and Garden Resene Inspiration Gallery

Their home was originally purchased in August 2005 when they had a 2 year old and a month old baby and the room destined for the makeover was designated as a sewing room when the home was built in 1950.

The most recent owners had used it as a dressing room and it was finished in a cool light blue paint with old carpet.

In need of a spare room, when the two children went down for their afternoon sleep, Joanna started on the painting project. She could only paint for 1-2 hours while they were asleep, so it drew the project out for 6 weeks!

Joanna's husband had always been keen to have a terracotta themed room, so Resene Valencia was selected for the walls. The room was finished with Freedom Furniture Hip Hop furniture and linen from Spotlight.

The old carpet was pulled up and a new floor laid, providing a more practical surface out to the swimming pool and deck area

The room, once spare, is soon to become home to their third child, with the only change needed to swap the bed for a cot. The room now warm and vibrant is a far cry from its previous cold and unwelcoming finish.

Thanks to Dr Joanna Biskey of Auckland.
