I’m a New York City based sustainable interior decorator, stylist, vintage collector, and storyteller with an obsession for fashion, interiors, and the thrill of the hunt. I create layered, personality-filled outfits and spaces using secondhand treasures sourced from thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, auctions, Facebook Marketplace, and occasionally… the side of the street.

Whether I’m uncovering Picasso plates at the thrift store, styling a room entirely with vintage finds, or turning flea market jewelry into wearable art, I believe great design should feel collected, creative, and deeply personal — not perfect.

On my social platforms as @casacavaliere, I share everything from thrift shopping guides and design history to DIY projects, vintage fashion inspiration, and the often chaotic reality of balancing creativity, collecting, motherhood, and decorating a pre-war NYC apartment with my husband Alex. I’m also known for creating viral decorating methods like “Threading” for gallery walls, and the “3-4-5 Decorating Method,” a tangible approach to decorating that helps people develop their personal style while creating spaces that feel layered, balanced, and authentically theirs. Because in the age of the internet, who wants a home that looks like everybody else’s?

My work and home have been featured by Homeworthy, HGTV, Architectural Digest, Apartment Therapy, Country Living, Newsweek, and The Spruce, and I appear on Freeform/Hulu’s That Thrifting Show hosted by Lara Spencer.

Hi! I’m Nancy.
