Bread and butter work

We have spent a few summer months decorating this house near Gloucester Road inside and out

Football crazy

This will make a football mad little boy very happy.

We beat the bad weather to get this one done.

The scaffolding has just come down on this building in Notting Hill that we re-painted from top to bottom.

Nothing's too big for us to handle although we struggled against the wettest April and June on record to get it done.

This one took a while but looks great.

This is a project in Notting Hill that we have been involved with for over 18 months

 The interesting thing about this property is that everything inside and out was stripped back to bare and left unpainted

There are some new doors, door frames, floors, fireplaces and a nice Italian kitchen.....

.....but the original windows and shutters were chemically stripped clean of 100 years of paint, repaired by carpenters, worked on by french polishers and finished off by specialist decorative artists.

The original cornices were also chemically stripped, moulds taken so the damaged areas could be repaired and then worked on by specialist decorative artists.

Good as new.

The metal balustrades and stone steps were also stripped and left bare.

Look at the detail in this amazing cornice.

The panel behind this bath is made of plaster and painted to match the rest of the pine woodwork.

You really can't tell that it's faux  (these guys are good!)

Hanging Fromental hand embroidered silk wallpaper

This is Alan, probably the best wallpaper hanger in West London, hanging some Fromental wallpaper in a very nice house behind The Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, London. The tree and branches are hand painted and the flowers are hand embroidered all on paper backed silk.
