Top tip: Bright colours really brings life to any space. Megan used Resene Tangerine on this cabinet which makes it pop and gives it that retro feel. It’s a simple trick that really transforms any space and gives it a wow statement. Projects like this are the perfect opportunity to use your favourite Resene paint colour that you may not be brave enough to use on a wall.
