Hi There!
Thank you for being here!
I am La Shana Diaz, a.k.a "Lah Lah" for short! I was born and raised in New Jersey where I currently reside. I am married to a loving supportive husband, am a proud mother of 5, and a self-taught DIYer/ Interior Stylist!
My late grandmothers creativity and style sparked my passion for interior design who loved to style her home with the latest home décor trends! I can remember sitting on her living room floor as a little girl, flipping through her home shopping magazines. I would admire all the gorgeous home décor, wondering which pieces she would select to design her home with next! Her influence inspired me to design my own home and share my passion by helping others create beautiful spaces!
When I'm not redesigning our home with countless
DIY projects, I enjoy being outdoors
...the park on the swings is my favorite thing to do...
still a kid at heart :-) , a great winery, and spending
time with my family!
My Vision
I created Lah Lah Land Home Décor to share my love for interior design and to inspire others to create a space that is timeless, and beautiful, yet functional and comfortable on any budget! I believe that you don't have to spend a fortune to create a beautifully decorated home that reflects the style and comfort you truly deserve. Your space should not only show off your personality, but work with your daily lifestyle and budget. Whether you are looking to spruce up your space for a fresh new look on a budget, DIY hacks and tips , or the latest shopping deals and trends, I am here to help!
How I got Started
I started Lah Lah Land Home Decor in late 2018. I had just left my career in the Real Estate industry to raise my family full time. We are a military family which means my hubby spends a lot of time away on deployments. During this time I can become very anxious so I decided to start an Instagram page to share snippets of stylings I did in my home as a hobby. While my husband was away on an extended deployment, I decided to give our master bedroom a makeover. The rest is history! I couldn't believe that I transformed our space into a beautiful haven and on a limited budget! I shared the process on my Instagram page and my audience loved it! I fell completely in love with redesigning spaces and decided to do it full time!

Do you provide design service?At the moment I have paused my design service due to my current schedule, I'm not able to take on new projects at the moment. It's definitely something I'd love to revisit in the future when I have more time to dedicate to it.

Miter Saw – Perfect for precise cuts, especially in wood. Sander – Makes sanding quick and easy for smooth finishes. Brad Nailer – Ideal for attaching trim and lightweight materials.

What do you do for a living?I’m a full-time content creator now! Previously, I worked as a real estate agent and managed a document control department for a Mortgage lending company. After I left the mortgage industry I created and ran my home decor shop for a few years and designed homes. My time in real estate really sparked my love for designing homes, which ultimately led me to starting my own business and creating content.

Does your husband help you with DIYs?My husband helps on a needed basis as I prefer it this way. I love designing and building things on my own with no help. It's my stress reliever believe it or not. Most of my biggest projects are done while he is on deployment. My anxiety is at an all time high when he is away. Projects are my distraction to keep my mind occupied and it's always fun to surprise him with a room transformation when he returns!
