Hand Painted Furniture – Bathrooms


burrough bathroom 3 burrough bathroomThere is something I find peaceful about decorating bathrooms – maybe the calm space, the warmth and often the gentle reflections from the smooth surfaces of porcelain and marble and metals.

This project recently completed is hard to photograph, so a couple of pictures and a few words hopefully will give you the atmosphere.

Firstly we decorated the client’s home several years ago, she didn’t want or need radical change in the bathroom, but a bit of Fizz!

So. We hand painted the woodwork, the furniture and bath surrounds. And then dragged a finish over, and laid gold leaf on the drag finish lines. Way too subtle to show up here – but trust me, absolutely gorgeous. Suffused warm reflection and a beautiful sparkle. Satisfying. Very.

Hand Painted Furniture – Kitchens


swiss 026 A kitchen is usually one of the busiest areas in a home – and a recent trend for slightly distressed paint finishes on units can work well. So, as with anything that you want to enjoy and will spend time looking at, it wants to be done properly. We can of course make a sleek and blemish free effect, or like here, a new built unit look timeless, with Vintage Patina – and as old as the hills!

Expert paint knowledge, expert preparation and application technique pays off in the Wow factor. We all need to head off happy in a morning and the Breakfast Room or Kitchen is a great place to start! #traditionalpainter #handpainted

The best wallcovering project a craftsman decorating team could wish for


Gold leaf wallcovering

Craftsmanship wall coverings

Recently I spent time with Allyson McDermott, and had the privilege of seeing how a fine wallcovering was created in her studios prior to Harborough Decorators team hanging it in a very special location.
Using gold leaf, distemper and traditional flock, the results are truly outstanding, and will last for many many years. The room will inspire many who travel through or sit quietly and we are proud to have been associated with this historic space. A couple of pictures wont do the room justice. The light travels over the surface and is just amazing. There weren’t any offcuts – each drop was made to measure, each drop numbered to correspond to the plan as it went around the room. Made all the team feel very proud when it was finished!
