Updates and Announcements

Hello blogging world. It is I, (well who else would it be?) I have some announcements that I’d like to make, and yet I don’t know how to go about announcing them. So I figured a blog post would be the best way.

If you were with me from the beginning, and I thank you for that, you know that Honey Lune Hivery was my first ‘child’ into the creation of my brand. Back 2015, I started blogging and…

How to Feng Shui and Design your Child's Room

How to Feng Shui and Design your Child’s Room

I love designing children’s rooms! Perhaps it’s because I never grew up (I still love kid’s books and Pixar movies), but also, these rooms are just plain FUN to design. As adults, we’re often afraid of color, whimsy, and let’s be real….magick. A child’s room is a canvas of possibilities. Aside from the creativity we can have designing and decorating a child’s room, these spaces play a big role…

The BIGGEST Plastic Swaps to Help the Planet

The BIGGEST Plastic Swaps to Help the Planet

Plastic waste has gotten out of control. You might have heard of the self-made plastic island that is floating around the ocean. That island, called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is now 3x the size of France. 90% of this is plastic, and because of this, the island is continuing to grow.

The biggest contributor to the plastic problem is the use of single-use plastics. These short-lived items…

Simple Feng Shui Tips for a Healthier Kitchen

Simple Feng Shui Tips for a Healthier Kitchen

Our kitchens are one of the cornerstone spaces in our homes according to Feng Shui. The kitchen is the heart (and stomach) of the home. It creates the qi that we bring into our own bodies from our food. Our kitchens relate directly to our health.

Nowadays, many of us are focusing more and more on our health, which is a good thing! We’re working out, watching our diets, and getting a good night’s…

Basil Pesto

I finally did it! I have a garden. After years of waiting on my neighborhoods P-patch and still waiting, I decided to turn my tiny balcony into a mini garden. It’s all potted veggies for now, but I’m just happy to be getting fresh produce again.

One of the things I’ve found super easy to grow are herbs. They are pretty easy to contain and create a nice planted garden. Plus they are great for…

Decorating for Leos

It’s soon to be Leo season and you don’t need to be into astrology to already know that. Practically any Leo sun sign will be boasting about their upcoming birthday. This zodiac sign might be a little bummed this year with quarantines and shutdowns, as a Leo LOVES throwing parties and being seen.

While this extroverted sun sign might be staying home this month, that doesn’t mean they should…

7 Ideas for Reusing your Food Waste

Food waste is a HUGE deal. Did you know that 30-50% of the food produced for human consumption gets wasted globally each year?! That equates to 4 billion tons of food waste per year. Yikes! That’s roughly 2 billion elephants of waste that we could avoid having go into our landfills and oceans.

As a kid, I grew up in a household that stressed finishing dinner. Having parents that lived in post…

Where to add Extra Storage for your Tiny House

I’ve been getting a lot of tiny house designs for my company recently. Which I love! Tiny homes are so much fun for me to design. It’s a big creative and problem solving challenge to fit your whole life in 200 sf or less. Especially when it come to storage.

How to Use Antiques and Vintage Pieces in Your Space

How to Use Antiques and Vintage Pieces in Your Space

Back when I lived in the Midwest, I would go thrifting all the time – antique stores, flea markets, estate sales, you name it. Being in the heartland of America, antiques are pretty popular in decor, as that shabby chic/farmhouse aesthetic pretty much IS the Midwest.

Moving out of the rural cornfields to an urban city, I still LOVE using antiques and thrifted finds with my clients and in my…

What is the Meaning Behind your Door's Color

What is the Meaning Behind your Door’s Color

One of my favorite architectural features is doors. Being into symbolism, I found beauty and power in the message of a door. Doors are portals of change. Physically, they connect two separate spaces, joining them and allowing one to pass between. This is true for its symbolic meaning as well, being an opening and transitional marker into new energies.

People from all eras and cultures understood…
