Hi, I’m Lisa! I’m a wife to my husband Matt and a mother to two teens; Cole is a freshman at GCU, and Avery is a sophomore in high school. We currently live in Southern California.
My first priority is always to be a wife and mother. I run the household and make sure everything goes smoothly. If you’re trying to reach me, you may also find me carpooling my daughter! Lately, my second priority has been designing. I discovered my love for design, which has taken over a large portion of my life.
How I Hope Love by Lisa Helps You
I am really hoping that Love by Lisa will become an extension of my Instagram page. I’m very active on Instagram, sharing various things that I love, whether that’s a recent design tip or just sharing some of my favorite things. My feed features a variety of images, from vacations with my family to rooms I’ve completely redesigned I think Love by Lisa will be an even better way to share these things and will act as an outlet for my upcoming projects
How I Got into Designing
My love for designing came when Matt and I first launched our rental property, Deep Creek. We bought a property, located in our local mountains, and decided completely gut and redesign the interior.
Throughout this process, I fell in love with the idea of changing spaces to provoke emotion and comfort... I loved comparing the before and after images and seeing my ideas come to life. I also found fulfillment through shopping for these items and getting inspiration online. Pinterest, Like To Know It, and Instagram has become my go-to.
The Design Project I’m Most Proud Of – Vista Lago
Of the projects I’ve completed, I’m most proud of Vista Lago. Vista Lago has five bedrooms, a casita, and a backyard. The idea behind Vista Lago was that it would embody a luxurious feeling. Although it was such a large job to take on, I love the way it came out. I put in a lot of effort to design and renovate the property with Matt. He and I picked every single element that is in the property. This includes doors, door handles, fixtures, lighting, and more. It was great to see the project come to life.
My Future Design Plans
Right now, I’m looking into ways of helping others with their design projects, both in person and virtually. I want to help people redo their spaces using accessories and other items to create a space they love. I want them to experience joy when they walk into a room because they love the space so much!
