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!
SO GLAD your book signing went well - that's GREAT news, but not surprising.
Your 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! =)

Love it, Carolyn. Nice job! Susan
Wow, it turned out wonderful. I also like to paint up things.
Have a nice week.

This bedroom is very adorable. I like every single corner and every detail is such romantic.

Your little dresser looks really beautiful now, I liked it before but it probably suits the little cottage better now.
I 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
Hello Carolyn, so lovely, all your pictures, and the vanity ist so beautiful. Have a nice week and warm weather,with best wishes, cornelia
The 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?
Blessings,
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
Hi Sandi,
