Through The Years…The Evolution Of A Living Room

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Lisa Hogan

Hi All, As you may remember we recently layed new laminate flooring in my living room a few weeks ago and were expecting new furniture to be delivered. Well, today I thought I’d share the finished room all put together before I rip it apart again to decorate for Halloween. First though, I thought it would be fun to post some pics of how my Living room has evolved over time. No room in my house is EVER “finished”. It is my pallette and my canvas. I am constantly redesigning, adding and editing. I just can’t help myself! We have lived in our house for about 6 and a half years now. Here is what the living room looked like in the beginning.

A Budget Friendly Cottage Dining Room Redesign..The Big Reveal!

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Lisa Hogan

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We didn’t do too much this Independence Day. I spent most of the weekend painting my kitchen cabinets (more on that in a future post) and we also went and ordered a laminate floor for the livingroom. It looks like this weekend will consist of ripping up rugs, moving furniture outside, praying it does not RAIN and attempting to lay our own laminate floor down. Keep your fingers crossed! Anyhoo, today I wanted to share pictures of my “complete” cottage inspired dining room. “Complete”. Hmm. Who am I kidding? No room in my home is EVER finished. My homer is always evolving and probably will for years to come. My husband and I … Continue reading →
