Melissa Gorga's new house was finally move-in ready in November 2022, but months after getting settled in, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member just gave one part of the home a whole new look. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

“I absolutely love playing with home decor — I always have,” Melissa wrote in the caption of a March 5 Instagram video that showed the sparkling new chandelier that replaced the previous black fabric ones in her foyer. “Waking up to this beauty is just sooo much better… Luckily I work with the best [Avenue Lighting]!! Love to be able to play around with ideas!! Decor is a process. Sometimes you need to live in the home for a minute to decide what fits perfectly.”

The fixture is from Avenue Lighting’s Glacier Collection. According to the company’s website, the chandelier is complete with brushed brass and cascading bubbles encapsulated in K9 crystals. 

In December 2022, Melissa raved about a different chandelier in the house. While showing off her “dream closet” on her Instagram Stories, Melissa wrote, “For everyone asking about this chandelier… I am obsessed with it… It’s [Avenue Lighting]. They have the most gorgeous lighting fixtures.”

In recent months, Melissa has slowly been showing off each room of the house. While sharing details on her spacious, sleek kitchen in December 2022, she wrote in an Instagram caption, “We love to entertain… Kitchen space takes priority.” The following month, she gave a look inside her glam bedroom, chic home office, and cozy living room.

Check out the video above to see what the house looked like on day one of construction, and hear what Melissa and Joe Gorga’s biggest priorities were when building their new home.
