Church bell tower conversion
We recently finished decorating this bell tower conversion for Colston homes in Dunkirk, Kent.
Small rooms making it a tricky job working around the tools and furniture but keeping us fit up and down the staircase continuously.
A truly stunning conversion with access to the roof terrace which gives amazing views from the Kent country side to the Kent coast.
All rooms painted in Dulux paints.
A room to relax.
This room next to the home cinema felt cold and empty, we prepared all walls and woodwork (with exceptions) and painted with Farrow & Ball Elephannts Breath , one window was painted in Farrow & Ball Green smoke to match the bespoke bookshelves with ‘hidden door’.
Feature wall was sized and crosslined before we hung the large panels of Andrew Martin ‘Mythical Land’.
This room is still a work in progress but I’m sure you can see by the results so far that this is a space which will be much loved and enjoyed.
Bedrooms
Wadhurst, East Sussex
These bedrooms had a water stained ceilings and walls, so a full prep and stain blocking where required.
The feature walls were painted in Dulux charcoal drift and the main walls painted in Dulux trade goose white.
Woodwork finished in Johnstone’s pure brilliant white eggshell.
Pool Room
Wadhurst, East Sussex
This pool room had a water stained ceiling plus uneven plaster work which being a light room you could see all the ripples, bumps and roller marks due to the light bouncing from the standard matt emulsion, we thoroughly prepared and used Johnstone’s Perfect matt emulsion which has a very low sheen level giving you the illusion of a perfectly flat ceiling.
The walls had hairline cracks throughout amongst other imperfections, after all the prep the walls were finished off with Dulux trade goose white.
Woodwork finished in Johnstone’s pure brilliant white eggshell.

Kitchen Rescue
We got called in to rescue this new kitchen in Tunbridge Wells, the decorator had basically slapped the paint on, using no primer and leaving thick brush marks all over the units, not painting the inside of the doors or the framework and leaving a mess over the floor and under the work tops….apparently he was only there for a total of 6 hours!!
we stripped it back, filled and primed then our expert decorators hand finished the units to perfection using Little Greene Basalt Intelligent Eggshell on the main units and Little Greene Slaked Lime on the island.
Sitting Room
This sitting room in Tunbridge Wells redecorated using Crown Trade white emulsion for the ceilings, Farrow & Ball Breakfast Room Green for the walls and Johnstone’s trade brilliant white oil based eggshell
Hard work pays off…
Four floors of hard work....lots of prep to transform this hallway, landing and stairs in Royal Tunbridge Wells Farrow & Ball Elephants Breath for the walls and Johnstone’s pure brilliant white eggshell for the wood work
Hand Painted Kitchen
Travelled to Appledore in rural Kent to hand paint this kitchen.
Colour is Little Green Perennial Grey Intelligent Eggshell
Our finish is flawless and as good as the original factory finish.
We specialise in hand painting kitchens so don’t get the cowboys in and get in touch with us.
Renovation
Some before and after pictures of a recent renovation we decorated in Tunbridge Wells.

End of Summer
It’s been a long time since we last added to our feed…more to come soon.
Summer 2020 has been a strange one and we count ourselves very lucky to have kept so busy and to have worked at some beautiful locations. Here is one of our last exteriors in rural Wadhurst, East Sussex. #heartofsussex #ruralsussex #sussexcounty #preparationdedicationperfection

Feature Wall Wallpapering Project in Crowborough, East Sussex
Creating a feature wall can not only break up a room to make it 'less boring' but when done correctly can enhance and make a bold statement bringing the area to life with vibrancy though relaxing at the same time, an effect which is sometimes very hard to create.
This room was wallpapered with Designers Guild Caprifoglio panels and Designers Guild matt emulsion on the remaining walls.
This wallpapering project was completed in Crowborough, East Sussex. If you're looking for a painter and decorator in Crowborough, Bushell & Scott provide professional wallpaper hanging and interior decorating services throughout the local area.
