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.
