Penguin powers This is one cool room. With a palette that includes Resene Frozen, penguins and children alike will feel right at home in this icy retreat. Whether you re inspired by little blue penguins, Antarctica s majestic emperors or the well-styled rockhopper, this timeless theme will have both toddlers and preteens in a flap. To create your frozen masterpiece, start with two basecoats of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel tinted to the aptly named Resene Quarter Frozen. Apply these over the entire surface of your wall, from floor to ceiling. We painted our sea in Resene Spinnaker 70cm from the floor.
