Owing to the growth and demand for their commission painting services, Fran and Clive Osborne are developing this bespoke side of their business.
 
Together with the expansion of their website and online shop, this means they will no longer be serving coffee, tea, cakes or snacks.
 
They say they will, however, have more time for producing and selling their hand-painted furniture and accessories, as well as sourcing all sorts of “brocante” and individual items for customers.
 
The Osbornes also sell easy-to-use, self-priming vintage chalk and milk paints, and will continue to run their popular painting courses.
 
“While we have enjoyed being able to share the beautiful environment with customers in our small coffee shop, it has been difficult to give all sides of the business equal attention, so we have decided to focus on the furniture and interiors side, including the expansion of our website,” said Mrs Osborne.
 
“This will allow customers further away from the shop to be able to see more of our items and to have them delivered direct to their door. We will of course continue to provide coffee and cake on all of our painting courses.”
 
Mr Osborne added: “Our opening times will stay the same, and we are always happy for people to pop in and browse around the shop. We love to share our knowledge with customers and to help people to transform their old furniture into fabulous new pieces.”
