Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.

By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.

So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.

Awesome New Back-to-Wall Bath For Sale

Diana from Oropi

We bought this, it wasn't quite right, went to exchange it, and saw we'd scraped it slightly just around the corner at the bottom of the left hand side. Easy enough if installed to the left of the wall, a light sand and paint touch-up would mean it'd be very hard to see. $1300 … View moreWe bought this, it wasn't quite right, went to exchange it, and saw we'd scraped it slightly just around the corner at the bottom of the left hand side. Easy enough if installed to the left of the wall, a light sand and paint touch-up would mean it'd be very hard to see. $1300 retail, which was a good price, so someone will strike it lucky with this one.

Height 580mm, Width 1700mm Depth (front to back) 750mm.
It has a delightful wee ledge where it goes against the wall for candles, cups, glasses, phone/music.

One great feature is that there is plenty of space for 2-3 children, and for an adult to relax with the internal length 12-1300mm, often overlooked when people buy curved baths.

It is well-packed in its box. It'll fit in an SUV, or we can deliver at no cost in Tauranga area until next Monday evening.

Price: $875

I love my Doves and they love me. Too much loving has created too many doves!
I need to downsize my flock and am happy to rehome groups of four. They would need to be kept with in aviary or similar for 28 days and will then regard your home as their home. Essentially they are homing pigeons and once they have stayed in one place for a full moon cycle, they stay put.
They get fed twice per day on dove mix by Tui and need plenty of drinking water and they love a bath.
I have white and mixed colours. Please call me if you want more info.

An interior designer shares the top 5 golden rules for bedroom design

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

Bedrooms equal sleep. It follows that they should be a place of tranquility, somewhere to calm yourself after a day of sensory overload. Except it’s not always so cut and dried, particularly because many of us also use our bedroom as a refuge and place to be alone, a personal space in which to … View moreBedrooms equal sleep. It follows that they should be a place of tranquility, somewhere to calm yourself after a day of sensory overload. Except it’s not always so cut and dried, particularly because many of us also use our bedroom as a refuge and place to be alone, a personal space in which to watch Netflix or even a study for an upcoming exam. So, follow your heart and create a bedroom that brings your dreams alive in the daytime as well as at night.
We would just say, pay attention to the mattress and the bed. Make sure they’re comfortable and, because they will undoubtedly be the focus of the room, choose your headboard and bedding with care. You will also need a degree of functionality about the room, so ensure that the wardrobe space is sufficient for your needs, that the curtains or blinds provide as much darkness as you need to sleep and that your lighting is suitably ambient but still good enough to allow you to read a book without eye strain.

1. Bedheads are essential
Whether you’re designing a child’s room or main bedroom, a feature bedhead is non-negotiable. It not only helps anchor the bed, but also makes the room feel complete. Think round, oblong, wall-to-wall, velvet, rattan, linen, custom-made timber – the options are endless. With lots of companies now making custom bedheads in New Zealand there are options to suit every room and taste. In a child’s room you can even use paint to create a bedhead – paint a shape on the wall behind the bed or paint the lower half of the room a different colour from the upper half.

2. Focus on lighting
Lighting is one of the most important accessories in any home and an easy way to create the wow factor – think of it like jewellery for a room. In bedrooms, pendant lights are ideal if the ceilings are high enough. In the main bedroom a pendant should be positioned above the foot of the bed, in the centre, so it’s out of the way of the room’s open space. Bedside lights can be used to create ambience at night. If you’re renovating or building, consider hanging a pendant or positioning a wall light above each bedside table. The light switch should line up vertically with the lights and sit 700mm from the floor so it’s higher than all bedside tables. Power points should also align with the lights, sitting just above the skirting board.

3. Always consider proportion
For a bedroom to work you need to think about proportion. Balance is created when all aspects of a room are in proportion with one another, so if your bed looks too big or your bedside tables look too small, they probably are. When you’re laying out your room, check the size of the bed – draw it on the wall or floor if you can. If your child’s bedroom is big, don’t push the single bed right into the corner. Leaving even a small amount of space (200mm) between the bed and an adjacent wall will allow you to make the bed more easily, as well as helping the room look in proportion, as your eye can drop behind the bed rather than hitting the wall and running up.
