The Do Up – Kingsland Bungalow

DIY video tutorials from MasterStroke by Resene

Welcome to The Do Up!

The Do Up - video series

Follow the Houston family as they renovate their Kingsland bungalow with the help of MasterStroke by Resene. This is the fourth time the family has renovated – and it’s their biggest and most challenging project to date.

The house was in a sorry state when they purchased it in June 2021, but they were drawn to its potential, the north-facing, leafy backyard and the relatively flat section. They have embraced DIY life to save money and are undertaking many of the key jobs themselves.

As they make their way through the different areas of their home, watch as Blair and Gretchen they combine their own vision with the invaluable advice and direction from Resene experts to create bold and beautiful spaces for living, entertaining and sleeping.
