In The Whistler editors’ quest to check out our advertisers – remember Colette took up piano lessons with Clare Harms at the beginning of 2013 and is now beginning to make some beautiful music.
Well, this time Sylvia can report that she has tried and tested the services of Lou Coates of Relove – the upholsterer. She had an old chair she’d been meaning to get repaired and recovered for years. All was made easy. Lou came to the house, measured up, brought a selection of material swatches, and took the chair away to be transformed. Great work.
Our ethos resonates from our name: giving furniture a new lease of life. In a time when we want to conserve resources but also have our own unique style, renovating quality-made furniture is both green and creative. Louise Coates has over 15 years experience as an Upholsterer, working on just about everything from cars, club/bars, domestic and commercial.
Here at Relove we can renovate and re-upholster your furniture to your design preference and can advise you on fabrics and/or other elements throughout the process. Our courses started due to a demand in the local area for home skills and are designed to give students confidence in a short time to re-upholster their own furniture. For those who fall in love with the art of Upholstery, there will be accredited courses to follow.
