Chelsea – poetry and piety
|
The bohemian reputation of Chelsea was well-earned, given the number of notable artists, writers and poets who have lived and died here. Dickens was married in St Luke’s Church - an expensive early example of the Gothic revival - in 1836. The old church was bombed during the war but rebuilt to house a rich collection of monuments. Of a later era, St Cuthbert, Philbeach Gardens of the 1880s is unprepossessing without, but inside the woodwork provides atmosphere while the screens and lectern are high quality examples of an English-style art nouveau. Crosby Hall is a wool merchant’s house, partly of 1475. From its original site in Bishopsgate, it was moved stone by stone in 1926 for use as a hall of residence for university women. An enjoyable experience, no doubt, to dine under its original hammerbeam roof in the Hall. |

How to create a painted rug for your newly refinished hardwood floor
Home renovations don’t have to cost the earth. Although it is best to hire a specialised to carry out the refinishing work on a wooden floor, you can brighten up the room and save money on soft furnishings by creating a stylish floor mat. This painted mat is waterproof and spill-resistant, cheap to make, and is a project that can be completed in just a weekend using minimal DIY skills.
What you’ll need
• Pencil
• Hardwearing, waterproof paints of different colours (suitable for use on wooden flooring)
• Paint roller and two covers
• Small paint brush
• Paint trays
• Masking tape
• Tape measure
• A straight-edge
How to do it
The rug is created by painting a background colour first, and then adding whatever designs or patterns you’d like on top. Choose colours to coordinate with your renovation décor scheme, or go for a total contrast - the choice is yours! It’s a good idea to draw your design out on a piece of paper first so that you can refer to it as you work.
The first thing to do is to mark out the basic shape of the rug on your floor using a pencil and the straight-edge (a straight piece of wood or a ruler is also ideal for this). Place strips of masking tape around the outer edges of the pencil lines.
Choose a colour for the background of the rug. Pour the paint into a paint tray and use the roller to apply two coats of the appropriate paint to the floor within your pencil markings. Allow the paint to dry completely. Take up the masking tape and touch-up any ‘bleed’ marks using your paint brush.
Mark out the patterns or designs you want for your rug onto the background using a pencil. Place strips of masking tape around the outside edges of the pencil marks. Next, pour the paint you’ve chosen for the rug patterns into the tray. Use the paint brush to fill-in the patterns. When the paint is touch-dry, apply a second coat and leave to dry completely. Remove the masking tape and touch-up ‘bleed’ marks as before.
Allow at least 24 hours before you allow foot traffic over your new rug, just to make sure it’s completely dry.
