We set up a date and went shopping. Unfortunately that's where it ended. She never completed the project. We set up a couple of dates so she could help me put all the items we purchased in place (which was included in my fee) but cancelled because it was raining. In addition to my project, I referred her to a friend and luckily for my friend she completed 3 rooms for her at the same price that I paid. I am very disappointed because I thought she would do a very nice job too bad I will never know. **Comment from Lisa Aportela,ASID:** > Hi! Im so sorry you were left disappointed with our work together. I know that we lost touch because at one point we were both busy and traveling so I apologize for not touching base again, I must have gotten tied up with other things going on. It was a pleasure working with you and I was happy to help you when we did go shopping together in Midtown. And thank you for your referral for your friend in Weston. If you still need my help please don't hesitate to reach out to me personally. All the best! Lisa Aportela **★★★★★ — Luis B, Oct. 2016** > Lisa did an amazing job with redesigning our family room, great room and dining room. We have an older home with lots of charm but also some very difficult spaces that we weren't sure what to do with. Lisa spent the day with us and she moved things around to create several beautiful (and usable) spaces. These previously unused spaces are now our favorite areas in the house. She did a great job reusing most of our existing furniture and decor which saved us a lot of money. Lisa was very reasonable and we found her to be honest, reliable and very talented. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future. **★★★★★ — aida927, May 2015** > Lisa and I met in her hometown of NJ . She helped me carefully plan, build, and design my vacation home in FL. Her attention to detail is paramount and her professionalism really makes her stand out from the rest. We worked remotely on most of the project as i live in NJ. She handed me the keys to my beautifully designed home with everything done! All I had to do was bring my suitcase! I couldn't have done it without her. **Comment from Lisa Aportela,ASID:** > thanks so much! it was a pleasure working with you too! can't wait for the next project! **★★★★★ — A Waylett Photography, Jan. 2015** > I was photographing one of Lisas wonderful projects in Miami. Lisa was very well prepared and very professional. Would love to work with her again **★★★★★ — Elise, Sept. 2014** > Lisa is a such a talented and knowledgable professional. She has an amazing sense of style and knows how to mix colors and textures according to your taste. She can work within a budget, and will look high and low to get what you need. I had an incredible experience with her and her team. I highly recommend her. She completed my dining room, daughters room, and sun room. I would hire her again and recommend her without hesitation. **★★★★★ — scarsanchez, Feb. 2014** > Lisa sets a new standard in the industry. She listens intently and has extensive skills, knowledge and creativity. She has a keen eye for detail. She literally transformed my condo and put all my initial doubts and worries to rest when the project was complete. **★★★★★ — mayasusz99, Feb. 2014** > I met Lisa about 5 months ago and hired her to help me with decorating needs for my new home here in Fort Lauderdale and my beach house in the Keys. She works diligently with you to develop the look you want. I chose two different looks. She is doing contemporary with beach flair for my beach house and Old Hollywood Glamour for my home in Fort Lauderdale. They are just coming along spectacular! She finds the best and unique stuff! She is delightful to work with. She is awesome and I highly recommend her! I will be submitting photos upon completion. ## Selected projects - [Pinecrest Home Before and Afters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinecrest-home-before-and-afters-pj-vj~2610870) - Location: Pinecrest, FL - Photos: 13 - [Bonterra Hialeah Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bonterra-hialeah-home-pj-vj~2611066) - Location: Hialeah, FL - Photos: 8 - [Other projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/other-projects-pj-vj~443833) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Sunny Isles Condo Complete Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunny-isles-condo-complete-renovation-pj-vj~1189255) - Location: Sunny Isles Beach, FL - Photos: 24 - Description: Complete renovation and decoration of this two bedroom two bathroom condo in Sunny Isles Beach FL.

A: hello, yes Id be happy to send you a sample. Please send me in a private message name and address to where you would like it shipped. Thanks! Lisa **Q: What should I do with these chandeliers?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have 3 chandeliers that have never been used, but they don't really fit into the design of my new house. Does anyone have any suggestions on refinishing? Or will it cost more that it's worth? I'm including a photo of my almost finished kitchen as a reference point of the look I'm going for in my house. A: I would spray paint them a nice bright color like red, or white, or silver or even gold. you can always put them in a walk in closet, or bathroom, or even a hallway. Ive used left over chandeliers in places like garages, powder rooms, home offices, laundry rooms, places where you wouldnt really think of putting them and then end up looking fabulous! Good luck! Lisa Aportela. **Q: Living Room Rug IDEAS?** *(in Home Decorating)* I need to replace the rug in My Living Room. The colors are grey/beige/blue. Any ideas? I am debating between these 2....Do any of these work? or anything better? Thank You! A: i like the first option for the rug the best. Stay away from rugs that are too dark. You want to try and find a contrast with the floors. Good luck! **Q: Would you stay here?** *(in Polls)* This is from a current art hotel, they say it actually looked better when the drug baron owned it, what are your thoughts? A: yes!!!!! **Q: How do I order a sample?** *(in Product Questions)* Can I order a sample? A: Hi Nancy, I have requested a sample to be sent directly to you. Please let me know when you receive it. Thanks! **Q: office help** *(in Design Dilemma)* hello! we are in the process of picking paint for a corporate office. below is the sample for the rug offices will have glass doors. should inside of offices have different color than main office area ? we're thinking in the area of light blues but very open to suggestions A: i would stay away from the dark linen, again choose colors that are uplifting and inspiring in work environments. It makes people feel happy and if they feel happy they are more productive. I like the light gray/blue color option. Its fresh, clean, neutral but not boring. good luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-10-30.*
