A Grand Tour: Elegant Edinburgh House

Exterior of Winfields, photography by Sean Begley
Garden at Winfields, photography by Sean Begley

The owners of this beautiful, late Georgian former manse situated in the East Lothian village of Prestonpans have opened their doors to give us a grand tour of their home and the colours they have used to restore the property. ‘Winfields’ is a house full of both history and beautiful proportion. It dates from 1782, with the front Baronial extension added at a later date, 1834. It is an impressive house arranged over three floors and set in an idyllic position within its own walled garden grounds. The property is located within the Harlawhill Conservation area which also includes the Battle of Prestonpans Battleground, it has been at the heart of the neighbourhood for many years and as well as being the manse to the nearby church.

The owners, both committed conservationists dreamt of restoring the house to its former glory and the game changer for them was when they discovered our natural and breathable paint range.

“With our love of historic architecture and traditional building methods, my husband and I have taken on some pretty challenging renovation projects. Our current house, an 18th century manse with a 19th century Baronial extension, was in a state of disrepair and we were keen to bring it back to life properly. Discovering interior paint of such a superior quality as Edward Bulmer Natural Paint was a game-changer. The sheer aesthetic joy of the paints invigorated us to create rooms that are far more beautiful than we originally envisaged. With the rich pigments and natural materials, the colours are gorgeous, bounce light like a tennis ball, and have such a liveliness to them that we feel we’ve truly created a happy, healthy, beautiful home.”

Katie and Adam have embraced colour at the same time as preserving the proportions and beauty of the house and its position. Most importantly through their colour choices they have created a gentle flow and complete tonal harmony; not through just playing it safe with neutrals but through choosing colours they love from our natural paint range. Edward creates our colours from the same family of 12 earth & mineral pigments resulting in all the colours working seamlessly together whether complementary or contrasting shades. In fact, by the end of the renovation, this house was transformed and has taken the award for having the most Edward Bulmer Natural Paint colours in Scotland to this day…

“The Roman goddess Pomona stood for orchards, fruit and abundance in the natural world. How fitting then to use Edward Bulmer Natural Paint’s ‘Pomona‘, a glorious, elegant green, in an 18th century dining room that happens to look onto a rather old orchard- which sounds impossibly romantic but the dogs eat most of the apples before we get them. Plastic-free, toxic-free paint with unrivalled colour and depth.”

“Beautiful @catherinerowedesigns on new curtains next to lovely “Laylock” by Edward Bulmer Natural Paint in an 1840s bedroom. I still need to put the pelmets up but rather enjoying the simplicity without them.”

“The gentle, heavenly green that is ‘Roger‘ from the Edward Bulmer Natural Paint Nursery collection. As it’s all natural, my 8 year old can still sleep in his bedroom every night while its ongoing. No off-gassing of nasty chemicals with natural paint! Keep your loved ones and home healthier and safer with this exquisite, beautiful paint. The coverage is fantastic, only two coats needed for a perfect finish.”

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
