Jackie Bailey reviewed: Annie Sloan Method with Chalk Paint for Upcycling Furniture at La Di Da Interiors - The Basics

"I really enjoyed the course thank you. My feedback would be that I felt squashed in the room. I would have liked a bit more space to move. I hope that the new room is bigger. I would prefer to browse in the shop at the end of the course. That way you can buy things and go home. Thank you."

Laura Gilbert reviewed: Make a footstool workshop

"The whole session was fantastic. I wanted to do this course because they provided the chair which just made life easier. The process was fun, well taught and I love what I made. And I love a good fish and chips lunch - supporting a local business as well. Top marks. The shop is a delight and the course is structured in a way that gives you nice rests from various tasks to have a coffee or visit the shop. I'd highly recommend it. The teaching was top class and Steph was wonderful - perfectly pitched, helpful, constructive and just lovely frankly. If you're thinking of this, go for it. So much fun!"

"Great course, numbers are kept small so there is enough support for everyone. Instructions are given in easy steps to follow and Steph is always happy to answers questions. Oh and wonderful cake!"

Laura reviewed: Make a footstool workshop

"This was a really fun course. Steph is brilliant at demonstrating how to do things and has great little hints and tips along the way too. The group size was just right, giving enough space to get around the footstool whilst also having a lively group atmosphere. I'm so pleased with the end product, it looks a lot more professional than I expected, which is definitely down to Steph's direction! I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to have a go at doing something crafty, you don't need to have any previous experience."

"Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon on this workshop. Everything was provided (except material) that you need to make the stool. Steph explained thoroughly every stage and if at any time you were stuck Steph was there to put you back on track. The workshop was attended by five students giving it a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I am really pleased with the end result so much so I feel confident that I could go ahead a make another stool. I would certainly recommend this workshop."

Hannah Rose reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"I was bought a complete chair upcycling workshop at LaDiDa Interiors with Steph as a Christmas present. I can honestly say it was one of the best presents I've ever had! I am a complete beginner when it comes to painting and up cycling but now I feel confident enough to tackle projects on my own. I had a specific purpose in mind for my new chair and I am delighted with the results. I would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys making new and beautiful things in a relaxed environment. Thank you Steph."

"I really enjoyed this course. It was full of really good information and gave me the confidence to have a go at a few projects myself. Steph was really patient in answering all the questions. Already booked myself onto another course!!"

Diane Woodward reviewed: Annie Sloan Method with Chalk Paint for Upcycling Furniture at La Di Da Interiors - The Basics

"I have no previous experience of upcycling, but Steph was very knowledgable and gave and group lots of useful information. I didn’t realise how much you could do with the Annie Sloan paint. I really enjoyed the pace of the course and the time that was taken in explaining every stage of a painting project. Tea and cake was excellent to."

Jemma Partner reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"Had the most fabulous day learning how to renovate a chair, painting the frame in any colour you like from the Annie Sloan collection, and then completely re-upholstering the seat pad. Add to that the gorgeous cake and fish and chip lunch! I learnt so much and I can’t wait to use my new skills, I can’t thank you enough. Looking forward to using my new paints purchased in the shop (and don’t forget to buy a bottle of gin too). So much fun had, and everyone loves my chair x"

"Steph gave us a great time. the course was well prepared with everything we needed to complete the project at hand - paints , tools etc . I learnt a lot and increased my confidence to carry with other projects that I had in mind. Steph had loads of patience and the calmness throughout the day made it a relaxing time out. I loved the fish and chip lunch - Steph please tell him that it was probably one of the better fish and chips I've had for along time! thanks for the great day . emma"

Lynne Shields reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"Had a smashing day. There were only a few of us as it clashed with the Royal Wedding, but it was a real treat as well as an opportunity to learn a new skill. I will have more respect for the chairs I sit on now I know just how much work goes into making them comfortable. Steph was helpful and knowledgeable and it was lovely to see the old chairs turn into such lovely items."

Karin Bennett reviewed: Annie Sloan Method with Chalk Paint for Upcycling Furniture at La Di Da Interiors - The Basics

"A great course to go on! I really enjoyed my morning. I had no idea about Annie Sloan chalk paint and its versatility but now understand it so much better. Steph has a very easy going style as she imparts some basic techniques to wet our appetite and really that is just what you need to get going and explore the world of paint yourself. I have a feeling that what seemed basic in the class though may become not so easy when i get going but for now my confidence is high and i am ready to paint. Big thanks to Steph for giving me the inspiration."

"I really enjoyed this course - it’s the fourth one I’ve been on! It was great to learn so many different techniques. Steph is a great teacher & I can’t wait to use the new techniques to transform my home."

Maureen reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"Hi Steph What a great day we had on Saturday - loved every minute, you are a fantastic teacher taking great care to explain each step of the process - I have great respect for upholsters now, did not realise how much work was involved, but am thrilled with what I achieved. I now have a lovely bright chair in my summerhouse which will be much enjoyed by all. Met two lovely ladies who all produced stunning chairs. A great day and a great experience. Loved the cake, tea and fish and chips, smashing! Hope to join you again before too long With thanks, M"

Jayne Nicholas reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"A great day learning to upcyle an old chair with Annie Sloan paint and finishing it by reupholstering the drop in seat. I am very pleased with the end result and enjoyed seeing the 4 others emerge into new, colourful chairs under the clever hands of my co-learners. A shame I had to leave early due to the weather!"

Janet Goatlu reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"Great day. Nice welcome, delicious tea, coffee, cake and plenty of water. We stripped the seat right back to the frame and were taught to start from scratch with webbing all the way to calico and then the final material. Also did 2 coats if ASCP on chairs and then waxing techniques. All in all, a very thorough day. Only slight criticism- we could have done it in a slightly shorter time, but perhaps due to letting paint dry sufficiently...? Thank you to Steph. Best teacher out there!"

"We had an amazing day, I went with my daughter and sister-in-law and we all came away with fabulous chairs. It was great fun selecting the paint and material to bring your chair back to life. Steph was brilliant; her explanations and guidance were clear and uncomplicated. She was always at hand to give a little bit of extra advice if needed. I can't believe how much we achieved in a day. The fish and chip lunch was superb and along with the tea and cakes, we felt extremely well looked after. All of us thought it was a fantastic day and I'm sure we'll be back to do another workshop."

Tess Watson reviewed: Annie Sloan Method with Chalk Paint for Upcycling Furniture at La Di Da Interiors - The Basics

"Having already 'dabbled' a bit, it was great to ask the questions to a few matters I had trouble with. It was additionally very informative and what you can't do with Annie Sloane paints!! Amazing. Lovely few hours with the very knowledgeable and entertaining Steph - thank you. Let the 'upcycling' commence - lol! Highly recommend the course."

Melanie reviewed: The Annie Sloan complete chair makeover Workshop at La Di Da Interiors

"A brilliant course that i would recommend to any budding upholsterer or furniture upcycler. Steph is a brilliant teacher and provides everything you need to produce your own unique chair. A constant supply of tea and cake plus a lovely fish and chip lunch keeps you going but the day goes so fast and before you know it you've finished!"
