GUEST BEDROOM REVAMP WITH DIY MOULDING
Our Guest Bedroom needed an update and as we often have friends and family come to stay, I was wanting to add character and warmth to the room by creating a feature wall. Using Porta Pine Panel Moulding from Bunnings we (hubby and I) created these beautiful panels on the wall which emphasizes the elegant wall sconces we also had installed. I chose to paint the wall in a divine muted, mossy green tone 'Green Result' by British Paints. Being budget conscious though we chose the brand Spring flat interior paint from Bunnings which under $20.00 for 4 litres is an absolute steel! I was so impressed by this paint too! It had amazing coverage and the most divine, silky matt finish. I completed the room by styling with some new bedlinen and decor pieces which bought everything together. This was such a simple, cost-effective project that could easily be done in a weekend with such amazing results!

Steps
Step 1
1/1
1. Clean out room and sugar soap wall and skirtings to remove any dust
2. Measure out and draw where you would like the Moulding to be placed.
3. Cut Moulding to size & install using liquid nails or nail gun (hubby used a nail gun)
4. No more gap where Moulding meets wall so there are no gaps. This step is crucial for a professional finish.
5. Mask up wall if needed - we did as I was painting a darker feature colour I wanted a crisp clean line where the walls meet in the corners plus using tape is far easier than trying to cut in perfectly.
6. Start by painting one coat on your moulding, then cut in all your edges then roll main areas.
7. Apply two coats of paint. 3 if needed if coverage is uneven.
8. Allow a good 24 hours to dry.
9. Clean room.
10. Bring back in your furniture and style!
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @tameerene. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your terrific project.
What an amazing transformation! The mouldings have certainly added plenty of character to the room. I trust many of our members will be considering something similar for their own homes.
Well done, and thanks again for sharing.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comments 
Welcome to the BUnnings Workshop community @JamesM. It's wonderful to have you join us and many thanks for your question about this project.
Let me tag @tameerene to see if they can answer that for you. However, due to the discrepancies in cameras and monitors, it's unlikely that the colour you're seeing is a true representation. I would suggest that you head to your local Bunnings store and pick up a number of shades of white colour cards to match up at home.
If your colour is a slightly creamy off-white, then there's a good chance it's Antique White U.S.A, which has been extremely popular over the last 10 years.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
