Hello everyone,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a great turnout at Lori's shop for my magazine launch and I was so pleased to see some people I hadn't seen for awhile and also meet some new people. Lori's shop looked beautiful (wishing I had taken some pics) and I think everyone enjoyed it!Also,happy to have sold more then I anticipated.
Now for todays post I wanted to show you the vanity make over that my friend Snow did for me a couple of weeks ago. While cleaning up the Gardener's Cottage for the season this vanity was looking a little too shabby so Snow who enjoys painting said she would paint it up for me. She used a grey/green color and then roughed it up with sandpaper when it had dried.
I love the new look-Thanks Snow!
Some feminine touches to go on top.
The before look.
Hard to resist taking a few shots of the bouquets.
Whenever,we have a nice sunny day,I will take some pics of the rest of the Gardener's Cottage to share with you.
I am joining BNOTP today for Metamorphosis Monday.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
Such a pretty vanity, Carolyn! I love the new color and it looks great in the cottage. I'm glad to hear your signing went so well, too!
ReplyDeleteSO GLAD your book signing went well - that's GREAT news, but not surprising.
ReplyDeleteYour vanity dresser looks GREAT now- much nicer....and all your feminine touches and beautiful florals always make me sigh.....
I need a friend like Snow!! I have a china cabinet that desperately needs some paint love and I am afraid to even start. So it stays as is till I find the nerve or someone I trust to paint it well.
I think your Gardener's Cottage's bedroom is the most feminine and sweet from all over the blogsphere, darling Carolyn! Im happy to hear your book is a success, I was sure it had! =)

ReplyDeleteYour little dresser looks really beautiful now, I liked it before but it probably suits the little cottage better now.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying another sunny day!
Oh Carolyn, I received your magazine in the mail today. I am one lucky girl! It came just as I was going out the door so I only took a quick look. It is pure beauty. Tomorrow is a spring cleaning day for me and I am waiting until I take a tea break so I can slowly enjoy every single image. Thank you very much, J

ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn, so lovely, all your pictures, and the vanity ist so beautiful. Have a nice week and warm weather,with best wishes, cornelia
ReplyDeleteThe vanity looks wonderful, Carolyn! It's nice to have Snow do that for you. I wish I had someone to do my table and chairs for me. It was lovely to see you the other day and I love your book! It's sitting on my coffee table. I will have to get another one for a very special couple. I know they would enjoy it too. Isn't it a beautiful day?
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
lovely! I must say, the old look wasn't so bad, but with fresh paint it looks better :) Have a nice week with sunny weather, greetings Diana
