Toni found testpots very helpful in her deliberations, allowing her to test different colour options and ensure they were right before starting the painting.

Aware of the view's importance as the main feature, Toni selected a palette of Resene Whiskey Sour (stairwell), Resene Negroni (lounge/dining) and Resene Pink Lady (lounge ceiling) combined with new soft furnishings to create the warm atmosphere desired. Six weeks in the planning, it took just 10 days to implement.
