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

"Had a lovely time the last two Saturdays at La di da for Annie Sloan Workshops. Started with the Basics course first and then the following week on the Complete Chair Makeover Course. Steph’s no nonsense, down to earth, friendly approach put us all at ease and made it fun and interesting. Didn’t matter if you were a total novice like me, or had some experience, the excellent tuition meant that every one learnt and took away something worthwhile. The time just flew by! I shall be trying to put into practice the techniques I have learned and then will consider maybe the Advanced Techniques Course later on. Thank you for two very enjoyable Saturdays."

"A good introduction into Annie Sloan paint and techniques , good to interact with other novices . I would have liked more time to actually practise the techniques to gain some more confidence during the day with Steph there to advise and guide . I have a starter pack so looking forward to trying it out at home"

"A very full day - but what an achievement at the end! Steph is an excellent tutor who takes on board the level everyone is working at and adjusts accordingly. Excellent tea, coffee and cakes and smashing fish and chip lunch. Would recommend to anyone!"

"Really enjoyed the course. It was interesting to learn how to bring colour together in one room and a great help for my next project! Love the relaxed atmosphere, great teacher and I hope to attend another course in the New Year!"

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

"I am so, so glad that I went to the chair workshop! It's something that I have always wanted to learn more about - and was not disappointed. Steph was brilliant with explaining each step of the process and was so patient and positive at guiding each one of us. Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does was a joy to be around! The little touches of the cakes and plenty of tea and coffee was very much appreciated, and the lunch was also a huge hit... especially from working up such an appetite. I will definitely be join another workshop and have quite a few friends and family members who now also want to join me after seeing what can be created! Overall a fabulous way to do something a little different, learn some new skills from a brilliant teacher and be in great company!"

"A great follow on course from the beginners. Really enjoyed learning how to gold leaf and how to give the paint a cracked look. Steph is a great teacher and leaves you feeling full of inspiration and brave enough to go it alone! I highly recommend this course."

Amy Gould reviewed: Annie Sloan Techniques for Colour & Style in Upcycling Furniture at La Di Da Interiors - Advanced

"We had a fantastic afternoon with Steph! I attended the course with my mum and Aunt and we couldn't wait to start our own projects when we got home! We tried out a variety of techniques on the day (I'm in love with Crackle glaze already!) using the fabulous Annie Sloan products, drank tea, ate cakes and was able to shop in La di da also! (The candles smell divine!) It was a very relaxed afternoon, where you could ask questions freely. I will definitely be booking a future course with Steph soon! X"

"I thoroughly enjoyed this informative and interesting course. The teacher set up a great atmosphere straight away and was great at explaining, demonstrating and answering questions. I guess the only small criticism I have is that we could have done more/learnt more painting in the time allotted. Thank You!"

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

"Steph was fabulous and not only did I come away with a newly renovated chair (that I've had lots of lovely comments on) but I've learnt a skill for life and have since reupholstered my four dining chairs and they look great. Steph couldn't have been more helpful and looked after us like kings and queens! The fish and chip lunch was absolutely delicious too. I would definitely recommend this course."

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

"The chair makeover was fantastic and Steph was very helpful and patient. We all achieved amazing results. My suggestions are to do with the catering aspect. Firstly you need a proper coffee machine and ideally homemade cakes (or at least cakes from a bakery, placed on a plate). Secondly, I would suggest that fish and chips for lunch are not ideal. Surely some sandwiches from Waitrose or something similar would be easily sourced. A fabulous day that could be improved."

"A fun morning that built my confidence to the point where I feel equipped to tackle the project I had in mind. Plenty of hands on work and time for questions and useful to bring the sample piece of wood home to remind me of the finishes."

"I really enjoyed this workshop, learning further techniques with Annie Sloan paint. It felt like we covered a lot more than in the first workshop, which may have been due to the number of attendees. I think Steph is fantastic and would spend every day learning more about painting techniques if I could!"

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

"I'm not a beginner to upcycling furniture. But, I am a beginner to upcycling with Annie Sloan paints. The course was excellent and introduced me to new painting techniques including using wax in conjunction with paint. The course was well structured and delivered in a relaxed/fun atmosphere by Steph, who has whetted my appetite to use my newly acquired skills and Annie Sloan paints in the near future. I'm sure my home and immediate family will benefit from what I have learned. Steve Partridge"

"What a wonderful day! Steph was extremely knowledgable and practical and a great host. I have done quite a bit of painting previously, but Steph provided lots a of new helpful hints and tips. The upholstery part was all new and great fun to learn. I came away feeling like I really achieved something. I have been recommending the day to everyone."
