The Colourful Past: Edward Bulmer and the English Country House by Edward Bulmer

Description: The Colourful Past by Edward Bulmer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In his first book, leading interior designer Edward Bulmer takes his readers on in-depth tours of his renovations and preservation of centuries-old homes across England into comfortable homes designed for modern living. The spotlight is on Bulmers own gorgeous 320-year-old home, a laboratory for his practice, including a canvas for testing new colours for his popular line of natural paints. Publisher Description Edward Bulmer is a leading interior designer, architectural historian, and founder of the paint company Natural Paint based in Great Britain. He is perhaps best known for breathing new life into houses with a sympathy that is rooted in a deep understanding of their past, a particular skill that few interior designers possess. He can see where details are missing and unravel a mishmash of periods accumulated over centuries in a historical house. In this, his first book, Bulmer compiles the best from thirty years of work in some of Britain s most famous and grandest homes, including Castle Howard, Broughton Hall, Althorp, Goodwood, Pitshill, and many others. It also includes his work for private clients, highlighting his own stunning home, a laboratory for his practice, in a Queen Anne manor house built in 1700, which Bulmer and his family have spent the last twenty years renovating into a comfortable, practical home perfect for a modern lifestyle. He operates his paint company out of an old granary on the property that he converted into a studio. Bulmer has also revived the farm and turned it into a working organic farm. Written by Bulmer and featuring seventeen houses, among other projects, Bulmer takes readers through his creative and working process in each project, describing in detail how he renovated, decorated, and preserved the home, the problems he encountered and the decisions he and his clients made to solve them, all while sharing tips and secrets that readers can take away for their own home. Tours of these well-lived-in houses, rich with history, are conveyed through the gorgeous photography of Paul Whitbread. Author Biography Edward Bulmer is one of Great Britains finest interior designers, architectural historians, and a self-described colour man whose company, Natural Paint, produces environmentally friendly, non-toxic, all-natural paints that are very much in demand. Over the course of thirty years, Bulmer has worked on many of Britains best-known stately homes through Historic Royal Palaces, English Heritage, and the National Trust. His work extends to private residences as well, including Althorp and Goodwood. He has been named to House & Gardens Top 100 Interior Designers, and in 2019 the magazine named his restoration work at Pitshill, an eighteenth-century house, Project of the Year.
