Painter in Residence Alex Russell Flint transformed his bedroom (once part of an old schoolhouse) into a sumptuous haven using Chalk Paint.

Artist Alex brings a romantic and rustic tinge to his French elegance – he juxtaposes a finely panelled door with a distressed and weathered Aubusson Blue washed wall, achieved by applying a diluted colour wash.. He has painted the bedroom door in Olive, picking out lines of the panel frames using a complementary colour – Primer Red. He then also painted the antique wardrobe and ladder in Primer Red and finished with Clear Chalk Paint Wax.

The floor is painted in Paris Grey and finished with Matt Chalk Paint Lacquer for hardwearing protection.
