The kitchen has a bar serving area where friends can mingle and chat while they prepare food. Large bi-fold windows allow magnificent sea views while dining and bring the outside in when open. A raised floor, to draw a line between the living room and the new kitchen and dining, creates a feeling of a niche area.

But it is the colour scheme of Resene Rice Cake, Resene Triple Rice Cake and Resene Licorice that has blended it all together, providing a feeling of space and light. Jocelyn worked with the Resene staff at the Oamaru Resene ColorShop who helped to clarify her paint ideas to achieve this overall effect. Jocelyn simply loves the dècor.
