Peggy the wardrobe maker!

Published

by Susan

Peggy has researched, designed, built and painted a wardrobe for her teddy Tinsel! Peggy just loves working with wood and so we thought we’d get the professionals in to help her achieve what she’d sketched out many, many times over many months.

Laura at Hepp DT guided Peggy through the entire process in four private sessions (Peggy says this was the best birthday present she’s ever had). She was great at giving Peggy complete control whilst also ensuring she’d end up with a functioning wardrobe at the end. Peggy is so proud of it and so she should be. Tinsel is now one very happy, stylish teddy bear!
