Hi I’m Margi—welcome to Lillian’s Room!
If you love antiques, chandeliers, cottage living, and quick DIY projects, you’re in the right place.
I’m a software developer who typically has a cup of coffee in her hand. Though my days are often busy, I always make room for a little creative break—especially the kind that doesn’t take a ton of time. Here in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve lived in my 1920s cottage bungalow for over 20 years, raised my family here, and poured my heart into painting, wallpapering, and DIYing my way through every season of life.
Lillian’s Room, which is named after my daughter, has been a dream of mine for years. I finally carved out time to get this blog off the ground and share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning!) over the years. Here I hope to inspire others to create homes they truly love—one project, one vintage find, one cozy detail at a time.
Here, you’ll find:
- Quick DIYs you can actually finish
- An occasional sewing project
- Cottage style décor inspiration
- Tips for blending antiques into everyday life
So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s make something beautiful together.
Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here!
