Hi! I'm Alisa. I enjoy the occasional glass of Cabernet, am a lover of modern-meets-traditional design and thrive off my next Facebook Marketplace find.

I think Sunday night is my least favorite time of the week...like I JUST settled into the weekend. Please tell me I’m not the only one😬🤣 hope you had a wonderful weekend!

What’s the one gadget/appliance that you can’t

What’s the one gadget/appliance that you can’t live without? You guys influenced me to get a @nespresso machine and now that I work mostly from home, I’ve been indulging in an unhealthy amount of pods throughout the day. Every other hour is my own personal tasting party. So...thanks 😜😂

If you could learn one new home improvement skill, what would it be? Mine would be learning how to install lights (without electrocuting myself) 😂

HEY!! It’s been a minute since I’ve introduced myself. I’m Alisa (pronounced uh-lisa). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* I grew up and now reside in northern NJ with my wonderful husband, Angelo, and our kitty, Constantina. If you can’t tell by our names, we’re Irish. Fluent sarcasm is my second language⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Friends/family have described me as bubbly, impulsive, fiery, and witty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* For having such an obnoxious laugh I really have the nerve to find everything funny ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* I’m obsessed with true crime and ghost story podcasts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* I work full-time in marketing, my degree is in exercise science, but my passion is interior design⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty UNLESS it involves wet food in the sink. Ew. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope that I’ve given you something valuable - whether knowledge, entertainment, humor or inspiration. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here. 💚

Captured this progress shot of old and new blended

Captured this progress shot of old and new blended together in our living room this morning. It’s weird...there’s no color. And I don’t like it 😂 speaking of, what’s your all-time-FAVORITE color to use in your home?

Last night I asked about the ONE item you would sp

Last night I asked about the ONE item you would splurge on if you were renovating your kitchen or bathroom. Me? I’d splurge on an unlacquered brass Waterworks faucet. Wait no, countertops. Maybe calacatta tile. UGH but the cabinetry. Eh, budget smudget 😂

Are you drawn to warmer tones or cooler tones?! I’m definitely drawn to warmer tones (particularly this taupe color) and plan on using them abundantly in our home this year....in whatever upcoming project that may be 🤷‍♀️. This drop-dead-gorgeous kitchen via @heidicaillierdesign gets me every.single.time.

When it comes to styling different surfaces your h

When it comes to styling different surfaces your home, are you a minimalist or maximalist? In other words, do you cram as many objects as you can on every surface in the room (tastefully, of course 😉), or do you keep your styling to a minimum?

Do you finish projects completely 100% of the time

Do you finish projects completely 100% of the time?? Or are you like me and finish 95% and procrastinate the other 5% for all of eternity?! Maybe it’s a Scorpio thing. My goal for 2020 is to finish every single thing that I start completely before starting anything new. I’ll keep you posted on how that major personality change turns out 🤣

QUESTION: why do you live where you live? Is it be

QUESTION: why do you live where you live?
Is it because you/your spouses family lives nearby? Is it for a job? Or did you happen to stumble upon the area and fall in love with it? I suddenly became very curious about this topic after having this conversation with someone at work. I’ll be in northern NJ forever because my big ol’ italian family is here 😂

What do you think of this commode becoming the focal point in the living room? The more I think about it, closer I get to the dolly 😂 Yes or no?!

I recently mentioned via stories that the cost of buying secondhand furniture is your time. Time spent searching, refreshing, driving, communicating, cleaning, re-doing, etc. .

In this case, the time I spent on this loveseat was in the car. But it was worth every second of the 7 hours driving to/from/to/from CT to pick up this loveseat. Easily one of my top 3 FB MP finds! (Thanks to @nouvelle_vie_furniture for being an amazing friend and letting me borrow her car that was bigger than mine to fit this 💚)
