Having been in the upholstery game for thirty plus years, I have learnt to appreciate the true beauty of furniture and how it is made. In particular the more vintage styles, they are robust comfortable and built to last ; unlike a lot of the modern items on the market today. For me personally they are a lot more stylish and have a lot more character. For these reasons I am very passionate about bringing them all back to life and take great pleasure in the restoration of every single piece . I would rather take My time to do this, than see so much of it thrown away to landfill, especially when I am aware of the quality and structure of frames and know that it is just a matter of a little Tlc!. Furniture restoration is not always about a more cost effective option, so this is something that needs to be considered when choosing re-upholstery verses buying new. The whole idea is about putting your own stamp on a piece of furniture, for example , Does it have sentimental value, is it too good to part with ,how long will it last. These are all perfectly understandable questions and I can tell you that yes it sometimes will be the same cost as buying new or even more, however once you have invested in having the work done , we can reassure you that every care will be taken to provide you with the best quality service and workmanship, right from choosing your fabrics and any other finer details subject to requirement, ensuring you will be 100% happy and satisfied with the end result .

I’ve been up & running now for nearly 2 years, so I thought I’d add an update to my ‘About Me’ page! When I envisioned how The Old Bakehouse Cookery School would develop, I thought I’d be inundated with youngsters; helping them start out on the road to independence as I saw such a gap in the market. This still continues to be my driving force and I love watching the ‘penny drop’ when someone with no knowledge learns the basics & they then believe they can put a meal together. That still gives me enormous pleasure, however, the side to the business which has really taken off is the Group Bookings and I’m LOVING it!! Watching friends laughing together during a Hen party or ‘Special’ birthday party or seeing family (mums, dads, children, brothers or sisters) working together has been such a privilege. On the home front, it has been quite a rocky road through 2020 dealing with Covid-19 & all the lockdown restrictions we all endured. My son graduated in May (sadly without the ceremony) and he has now left home & is working in Cheltenham. My daughter is currently finishing her 2nd year at University which hasn’t been the experience she envisaged but she’s made the most of it. They have both taken on the skills of independent living & I couldn’t be more proud of their achievements. So, if you have a reason to gather a group together & you fancy doing something creative with them, give me a call & I can arrange a great day out for you. Or if you’re looking to get the basics under your belt as you move to a more independent phase of life, let me help you.
