Use the Resene paint colours and effects on these pages to decorate your teeny-tiny home, or translate them to your actual house. Decorate the main elements of the teeny-tiny home exterior (or consider this paint effect for a life-size interior space) by applying a coat of Resene Lumbersider in Resene Creme De La Creme, leaving it to dry, then applying a second coat. -

Next, pour half a tin of Resene FX Paint Effects Medium into a container and add half of a testpot of Resene Lumbersider tinted with Resene Tua Tua. (The more paint you mix with the medium, the more solid the effect will be; use less paint for a more subtle effect.) Dip in a sponge, then dab it on a piece of paper to evenly distribute the paint across it. Dab onto your painted surfaces in a random pattern, leaving some of the basecoat showing through. -

When that’s dry, repeat the process with Resene FX Paint Effects Medium and a testpot of Resene Lumbersider in Resene Awaroa Bay. -

To create the terrazzo look we’ve used in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom of our teenytiny home, apply two coats of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom in Resene Merino and allow to dry. Dipping a small paintbrush into each testpot one by one, dot small ‘stone chips’ of varying sizes and shapes over the top. When dry, apply a coat of Resene FX Paint Effects Medium mixed with Resene Lumbersider in Resene Tua Tua; we used the leftover paint from the exterior of our teenytiny home and applied it in the same way. -

For the rust effect we used for structural details of our teeny-tiny home, use a wide bristle brush to apply two coats of Resene FX Faux Rust Effect in random directions, allowing at least four hours’ drying time between coats. When dry, use a brush to apply two coats of Resene FX Faux Rust Effect Activator in random strokes until the basecoat is entirely covered, applying the second coat of the activator as soon as the first has dried. >
