Hidden Herefordshire: A Rural Retreat Roadmap for 2021/2022

Are you like us feeling that Summer is nearly over? Don’t despair there is still time to sneak in a rural countryside break before the madness of Christmas is upon us; Autumn is one of our favourite times of year for enjoying the great outdoors. We have put together a rural retreat roadmap of a couple of our favourite spots in Hidden Herefordshire.

The Van Gogh House Revived

Livia Lang and her family have brought a piece of London history back to life with their restoration and conservation of the Van Gogh House in Stockwell, South London. At the age of 20, Vincent Van Gogh settled in this Grade II listed building between the years of 1873 to 1874.  This was his first time living and working in a new country and his first foray into a foreign culture.

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 two coats of paint and 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 two coats of paint and the skirting and the doors/windows you told us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
