House of an enthusiastic collector

Is it possible to turn a warehouse of collectible things intoA cozy house? As it turned out, it is quite possible - just paint the walls in white and discover the perfect artistic taste. The presence of a three-story building also does not hurt. In search of treasures, we sometimes spend a lifetime and only at the very end of the road we understand that the most valuable thing was always under our noses. So it was with Robert Amsted: years of trying to find a cozy place to live, he suddenly realized that the building of Hastings Antiques Center, which was in his possession for more than 30 years, is ideal for this. Moreover, on three floors it is really possibleWas to turn around and attach to their hobbies on a completely different scale: sailing and modern art collections require additional square meters. The antiquarian's heart did not allow replacing the old onesPlank floors, however, in order to remove from their places a very deeply ingrained "dust of centuries", it took time. And if the floors in some places still had to be covered with carpets, then with a wall such a trick would not have gone. Robert Amstead lined them up to perfect smoothness and dyed in two basic shades: white and slate. For painting, thanksgiving background is not found. It is worth paying tribute to the owner of this house: Organically combine antiques, modern art and ethnicity can not everyone. And working with low ceilings is not so easy. In order to reduce this effect to a minimum, we had to abandon the window curtains. But what can not be done for the sake of art. http://wealdentimes.co.uk
