Hi, I’m Ortal, the voice and heart behind Alta Home. I’m a single mom and a home decor enthusiast. I’ve learned to create spaces that feel peaceful, organized, and filled with love. Although my journey into home decor wasn’t planned, it happened naturally.

After the tragic loss of my husband in December 2020, my son and I lived with my mother-in-law for 3.5 years. It was a time of healing, reflection, and letting go—both emotionally and physically. Then, in January 2024, we finally moved into our own space. It was there that I discovered the true power of home design.

Letting go has been a recurring theme in my life. For example, I learned to release possessions that no longer served me. Clothes I hadn’t worn, dusty kitchen tools, and old paperwork were let go. Slowly, I found that simplifying my surroundings brought peace. With each item in its place, my home felt functional and soothing.

To me, home is more than beautiful furniture or trendy colors. It’s about creating an environment that feels like you. In particular, it’s about spaces that help you breathe easier, bring order to chaos, and reflect your journey. Through thoughtful design and a few DIY projects, you can craft a home that feels like a sanctuary—whether through small changes or big transformations.

At Alta Home, I share practical tips, design inspiration, and stories from my own journey. I want to help you create a home that nurtures your mind and spirit. Whether you’re decluttering a drawer or decorating a room, my goal is to inspire you to approach your home with heart and intention.

This blog is a place for sharing and learning. Ultimately, it’s about finding beauty in the process of making a house a home.
Welcome to my journey, and I hope you find a bit of your own story here too.
