Caroline Manzo Has Shared Photos & Videos From Inside Her Franklin Lakes Home Over the Years

While Manzo might not be on TV regularly right now, she still gives fans a peek inside her home through her social media pages. In 2009 she told The New York Times about her Franklin Lakes neighborhood, “We’re definitely the poor people out here. We had no landscaping for seven years. The pool isn’t gunite. I’m not spending that kind of money. Is there a liner, can you swim? So who’s stupid, you or me? I don’t look to impress.”

She told The Times, “When the kids were growing up, I wanted this to be the house everyone came to. That’s how I grew up; the door was always open. It was very Italian, plenty of laughter, plenty of food, plenty of fighting. It was paramount that our kids were raised with the same traditions.”

Manzo often shares photos of her Christmas tree, which sits in a prominent spot in her family’s living room.

Manzo revealed a redesign of her home in 2016 when her children had all moved out.

She wrote on Instagram, “obsessed with my new @mackenziechilds train table, chairs, & kitchen stools. Empty nest house redo begins…. 👏👏👏”

Manzo told Bravo, “Right now, everything is so ornate, and I want to simplify. I don’t want to see gold anywhere. I think I want to do all neutral hues, grays and cream and blue, kind of thing. Just make it very, very simple. Brighter, I want to brighten up the whole house, and just make it mine.”

She added, “After all these years, it’s finally mine. I have a lot of things I want to do. … We built the house ourselves, so it needs to be freshened up. It needs a facelift. Nothing crazy. “After all the years of dogs and kids and everything else, I want new furniture, and I want to paint and make the house a grown-up house kind of thing.”
