Instagram account @provincialfarmtouch, follows the DIY journey of Alicia, who has skillfully built and decorated her family’s farmhouse style home, located in country Victoria, over the past three years with her husband, Ian.

Falling in love with the Porter’s Paints Capsule Collection, the gorgeous home wonderfully showcases colours from the collection.   

Wall Colour: French Green

The perfect neutral grey green, with raw umber and ochre undertones. A calming, natural hue.

The colours in The Capsule Collection were cleverly designed to stand alone or to team elegantly together. Alicia and her family's home is a beautiful example of how the colours in the collection can harmoniously work together throughout a home, taking the guess work out of creating a successful scheme. 

"Our home feels connected, calm and warm." Alicia

 

Colour: Timberline

A soothing olive green, creates a serene and comfortable atmosphere.

"I was drawn to the Porter's Capsule Collection because of the colour range, however I now also love the Eggshell Finish. I feel the Eggshell Finish gives the VJ panel walls a nice matt texture which creates the Australian farmhouse feel." Alicia

 

VJ paneling and ceiling colour: Volcanic Ash

A versatile neutral that is the ideal background colour. Light enough to read as a light neutral, it is a perfect balance for bright white trim.

Throughout the house, Alicia has continued the colour on the walls onto the ceiling, colour drenching to create a connected, cozy feeling.

"I decided recently that I would shift away from blues and introduce some more green tones to create a calm environment inside our home." Alicia

 

Walls, ceiling and bunk bed all painted in colour: Olive Grove

This neutral olive green creates a peaceful atmosphere and works in any space.

“I have used a lot of different paint brands over the years, and I find Porter's Paints the highest quality. The Eggshell Finish goes on easily, it’s thick, the texture is lovely, and it dries evenly. I have painted over 20 rooms of our current owner-built home, Porter’s made that task easy.” Alicia

 

Colour: Petal Pink

A delicate, natural pink with hints of umber and ochre.

"I love farmhouse style and the colours used internationally to achieve this look, I find Porter's Paints colours achieve this, in Australia. Porter's colour range is unique compared to other brands." Alicia 

 

Colour: Newport Blue

A calming soft grey, with hints of blue and green.

 

Colour: Old Stone Wall

A mid neutral, with the cool earth tone of raw umber. Having both grey and green undertones enables it to pair easily with many other colours.
