'I manifested this house': Inside Aileen Hogan's revamped dream home

Eve Kelliher discovers how the founder of Shabby.ie  transformed every room and why she’s encouraging us to revamp our front doors

Aileen Hogan, centre, founder of Shabby.ie. She painted her front door, left, in Shabby Cilantro, Fleetwood, and one of her favourite spaces is her outdoor bar, right.

Asked who she’d choose to play her in a movie of her life, Aileen Hogan shoots straight. Remember, this is the DIY trainer whose self-proclaimed mission is to help women “replace fear with confidence, one project at a time”.

Her answer is right on target. “Jennifer Lawrence — or rather Katniss Everdeen, the character she played in ‘The Hunger Games’. Why? Because Katniss shows determination to fight for what is right, strength to protect those she loved, and belief she could enact change,” she says.
