Lykke Haven Design

Let us not just create a home for you but a Lykke Haven.
The most beautiful place to start the morning 💕
We found a great new source for amazing lighting right in our home state, Michigan. I think I took a million pictures of every light - there were so many beautiful selections. We are excited to add for our clients!
"It is FINISHED!"
I just finished reading the whole Bible using and it was beyond an amazing experience! It took me about 14 months, and I am so proud of this accomplishment and example for my girls.
My faith has always been strong, but it was never truly rooted and grounded to God's Word. I had never read through the Bible and, honestly, had so many holes in my knowledge of who God is. This has truly strengthened me and gave my faith a solid rock to stand on.
This is an encouragement to all who read my posts: makes it such an amazing journey - start on your own faith path today!
Also, they had a kid's version released this year that I am looking forward to traveling through with our two older girls 💕
Capture the magic of the season!

Battle of the Brew Bar!
They said build a tray...cookie sheet size....
I don't think they knew they were talking to an Engineer who worked in Advanced Product Development....
You give me boundaries and I will push them to new heights where innovation can be found. I create home design that is both beautiful and innovative to support a family in the best ways! I am a Interior Desigineer (that's a thing, right?!? 🤣)
For the Battle of the Brew Bar I thought, "I can do better than just a tray..."
I built a prototype of a home brewing station that fit the needs of our family in a unique and new way.
Culture of Connection Brew Bar (prototype)
- Magnetic tea display
- Hot water on tap
- Coffee on tap
- Beer on tap
Brought to the home in a beautiful way!

How do you do coffee at home? Snap a pic and comment below
I was asked to be a part of a local competition called the Battle of the Brew Bar at hosted by . The concept was to build a tray that you would find on your home coffee station.
I was super excited as I have done a lot of research on different coffee & tea cultures around the world; I have found the subject fansinating fo many years. I knew that if I was to be a part of this competition, I wanted to bring light onto a new concept of "coffee".
You aren't just have a coffee at home before you start your day...it is a time where you are called into this Culture of Connection.
Take a look at this video to learn more...
P.S. stayed tuned tomorrow for what my entry actually looks like
And head to EB in Caledonia to vote on your favorite Brew Bar!
BEFORE & AFTER
A simple lighting change lifts & lights a room creating breath & space...
Sometimes you don't need to completely overhaul a space; it may just need a little freshening up. I love these concrete pendants from . They were the perfect choice to begin a small kitchen refresh.
My love of design is unbounded!
A beautiful day for a party to celebrate my daughter & nephew turning another year older 💕
A perfect Mom's Night Out!
Q: What do you get when you combine an engineer, interior designer, and a homeschooling mama of 4?!?
A: Of course, you get a whiteboard brainstorming workshop all about transforming the family home - dreaming, problem solving, and taking action on what it can be!

Create a Purpose-Driven Home: Hands-On Workshop An event you won't want to miss, filled with engaging conversation, a workbook, and even hands-on brainstorming for one of your spaces.
RISE UP!
To grow in kindness - that is our goal. To have a place where each of us is cultivated for growth individually and we can come together as a family too. Whether saving the day as a super hero or climbing the highest mountain, joy, kindness, encouragement, and perseverance is thriving in this space. Laughter fills the room as a great game of ping pong is underway and memories of the past as well as new memories yet to be made come flooding in like a river, giving the space life! As much life is found here, introspective is also growing purpose in each person. Through books, games, and imaginative play - you each find YOUR unique way to who you are & who you are becoming. In this space our family rises up together; Robert Ingersoll says it perfectly,
"We rise by lifting others!"

The key to a thriving home for both parents AND kids, is to create a home that nourishes BOTH!
Sounds simple, right? But do you actually include your kids in the design process when you are thinking of refreshing your living room or start to the design to remodel your kitchen? Do you let them give input into the design process?
When clients come to us for interior design services, we include the kids in the process! Not only do we ask the adults what they want in the space, but we also ask the kids. We learn through empathy exercises how the adults travel through and use the space, AND we also have the kids go through empathy exercises.
Because the key to a thriving home for both parents AND kids is to "understand what nourishes (parents AND) our children and use this awareness to inform every step of the design process"
BE THE CHANGE.
Create a purpose-driven, mission-thriving, joy-filled home...
Click the link in my story to learn more!
Let your life be filled with a BRIGHTNESS that overcomes!
To bring something bigger than yourself into your home, creates a home that is given purpose. It becomes more than a roof and 4 walls, it becomes a mission-thriving home that bursts out of those 4 walls and into the community to make a difference!
How do you bring mission into the home? I help clients brainstorm a design element that brings both beauty and purpose into their home. Maybe it is a commissioned piece of art. A curated coffee table book. An artifact on a shelf. The creativity is endless as is the mission of a non-profit you bring in your home to share with your family & guests.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS SERVICE?
I am so passionate about how missions can change your home, that I offer a complimentary service to brainstorm a mission-driven design element for your own home. Message me today to start being a part of something BIGGER THAN YOURSELF!
We are enjoying our slow summer days...
My favorite thing we have added is an Open House bonfire every week. Every week, we open our bonfire up to neighbors, family, & friends to stop by for conversation and s-mores! It is a time filled with connection and laughter as the adults gather around the fire and the kids run around catching fireflies.
What has been your favorite part of the summer? ☀️
The messages surrounding our children help form who they find themselves to be. What messages are you wrapping around your children?
I pray that they are messages of encouragement, building, & thriving!
The environment that our children grow up in matters more than you might know. Think of it - when you are in a room that surrounds you with light blue walls, calming & warm wood tones, and life-giving art - how do you feel? Now imagine being surrounded with bare walls, run down furniture, and scratchy, cheap textures (because, well, they are kids!)...how do you feel?
So many times, the spaces for our children get pushed to the wayside. But it is through these spaces, that our children are able to discover who they are and cultivate a thriving growth. It is through their bedrooms, playrooms, and shared spaces like the living room & kitchen, that the messages surrounding them form who they are and who they will become.
So I ask again, what messages are you surrounding your children with?
My latest Mood Board as I begin to create a playroom to unleash the imaginations of a beautiful family...
I find that when I can start with an intention statement and room name, it frees my creativity. It is easier for me to start with the words (intentions) clients want for a space before the pictures. But then, it is through the combination of words & pictures, that I start to bring life to a space together with the whole family!
A summer picnic full of delicious food - there is nothing better!
Here is a summer recipe we have been enjoying (moms, this is a great one that is gluten, dairy, and sugar free! Yes, it does taste delicious and my kids beg for more):
Berries & Cream Crumble
1 cup Raspberries (fresh & chopped)
1 cup Blackberries (fresh & chopped)
1.5 cup Strawberries (fresh & chopped)
6 Larabar Cashew Cookie Bars
1 Tbl Vegan Butter (melted)
Drizzle of Honey
Dash of Cardamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, & Cloves
Sprinkle of Cinnamon (Dash
MOMS DID YOU KNOW???
For kids 10 and under, a FRONT facing book shelf is critical in their development.
- They are able to see the books & be inspired to grab one
- They are so much easier to put away
- It draws you in to reading
This was such a fun project for a little boys nursery! Every great kids room needs a bookshelf; a place to hold all the imaginary worlds for them to dive into at any moment.
For this project, I knew no ordinary bookshelf would do it; I was excited to flex my creativity for this custom book shelf. It brings in the sharp, jungle-like trim accents from the wall and the softness of a rounded dowel that creates a beautiful balance.
Monday morning light pouring in.....

Happy Friday!
May you surround yourself with beauty this weekend & always 💕
Shopping local is fun & rewarding!
This piece came from Makarios Decor and it was the perfect breathtaking art piece to add to a client's space. The intricate detail is just amazing!
Tips for Hanging a Gallery Wall
1. Mark out wall with painters tape
2. Drill holes for screws & Remove tape
3. Tape up the triangle hangers on the back of the frame with the strip of tape wrapping around the front of the frame. (This holds up the triangle hanger that falls down easily & you can line up the screws easier knowing where the hangers are from the front)
Finally, hang your frame!
Now you have a beautiful gallery wall that brings LIFE to your space!
What pictures will you hang on your wall?
Travel?
Inspirational?
A specific artist?

What does LYKKE (loo-kah) mean & why does it matter?
Lykke is a Danish word to behold a full & continuous JOY!
It is a joy that is found with INTENTION.
A joy that is nurtured with MISSION.
And a joy that thrives with CONNECTION.
Why does this matter? Well, I wouldn't want to live a life short of having that joy fill me continuously! Would you?
Not only is this an internal striving for me, but I also make sure to cultivate this type of joy, lykke, in our home & the homes of other families. Because when we surround ourselves with LYKKE, our homes become purpose-driven vessels that soar through sky & stars!
Let's create LYKKE in your purpose-driven home together! Message me & let's grab a coffee to get the conversation started...
