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!

Posted on March 27, 2009 by Lisa Hogan

I bought this old chandelier from a friend of mine. It sat in my shed for months as I had my mind occupied on other projects. I loved the shape and had in mind what I wanted to do to it. A client came in one day and mentioned she would love o have a chandelier for her daughter’s room. Well, I jumped at the chance to create one for her. I rewired it so you can just plug it into a regular outlet, painted it pink and covered 5 lampshades in different but coordinating floral fabrics. I love the way it turned out and so did she. A Pretty simple redesign. I picked up this table for a couple of bucks at a local … Continue reading →
