Lisa and I wrapping up a planning meeting
For the last few weeks I’ve been volunteering my time to work with her to create a stunning space to support all the beautiful work she is offering the community.
I’ve been sewing (OMG, we found some gorgeous African wax prints!!!!), meeting with Lisa to hang pictures, select paint colors and work with Operation Fresh Start to get everything set up and ready.

Fabrics--Whoa!
We are down to the wire (Grand opening on Feb. 1) and need to have the rest of the walls painted to complete the project. Our Jane Antonovich Designs FAVORITE painters, Sean and Allison, have given a very low quote of $750 (they’re so generous) for the paint AND labor. If we raise more than that, the rest will go to the other supplies: fabrics, framing costs and window treatments.
Our fave Painters--Sean and Allison
Will you join me in donating to this project?
Any amount you feel inspired to give would be beautiful--Thank you SO MUCH!

Thank you so much for considering, any amount from $5 to $500 will be graciously appreciated!

Happy Holidays-- FaLaLaLaLa--LaLaLaLaaaaaaaa!
I wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Holiday!
I wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Holiday!
Whether you plan to celebrate BIG, create some quiet time for yourself, or skip the holidays entirely: I hope you have a *SUPER-SELF-ADORING* day.
Because as I was getting revved up for Christmas this morning, I was feeling SO grateful for you…
Without YOU, I wouldn’t get to share my own gifts with the world. And I wouldn’t get to help YOU share YOUR gifts with the world, too!
Everyday I get to watch people like yourself finally step into their divine talents, missions and joy.
...What job is better than that? : )
I get to watch people get unstuck. Get Healthy. Find the love of their life. And make a massive difference in the world.
I watch people fall in love with themselves, just as they are. I watch hearts open. I watch inner passions get ignited.
...All by making big, beautiful, healing changes to your home and office environments.
So THANK YOU ENDLESSLY for all the inspiration you give to me!
And THANK YOU even more for all you’ve done (or plan to do) to empower yourself –– whether it’s through tossing some clutter, getting more organized, sparkling up your space… or simply getting inspired by these weekly messages.
Big or small, EVERY shift counts. EVERY baby step matters.
Just know: No matter what your current circumstances, I believe in you 1000%. You are worthy beyond measure... just by being YOU.

Hello Beautiful!
How was your Thanksgiving?
We had a wonderful holiday--our family also celebrates Christmas this time of year--so efficient :)
I realize that my dream of 14-17 more years of getting a version of this picture may not come true…

But for now, Christmas Jammies, a Sofa Photo and a Gift Exchange is one of the highlights of my year :)

Today let’s focus on a Feng Shui Upgrade that can be done in a short amount of time and will make a BIG impact…
What’s on Your Nightstand?
In Feng Shui, nightstands hold major significance within your bedroom. They have the ability to ground and balance you (and your room).
To shift your mindset, consider that nightstands serve as an altar for your bed and have the power to improve your sleep and intimacy--work from this perspective and you will most likely feel results more quickly.
What you have on your nightstands is the last thing you see before you sleep and the first thing you see when you wake up--so powerful!
Here are some things to consider:
- Have TWO nightstands--one on either side of the bed
- If at all possible, have the tops of the nightstands even with or just below the top of your mattress so that the edges don’t feel like you might bang into them
- Lights or lamps should have soft light or the ability to dim and no sharp edges, look for lamps with soft, round shapes
Delete:
- Clutter--ummmm, you knew that already, right?
- Glasses of water--feels like they could tip in the night
- Too many books--too many thoughts
- Phones, ipads, laptops--technology interferes with your sleep
Adorn your nightstand with any of these:
- A Himalayan Salt Lamp to help purify the air by your bed
- Chinese Evergreen (only if you’re good with plants :) to purify the air
- Rose Quartz Crystals to call in good energy for sleep and love
- A beautiful tray or small bowl for jewelry
- A small bouquet of fresh flowers
What’s on your nightstand? Does it contribute to a restful night’s sleep? Or romance? I would LOVE to hear from you!
And, if you need or want assistance in getting the energy flowing in your bedroom (and your life), email us and I will get in touch with you--pronto!
Lots of Love,
XOXO

Hello Beautiful!
We’ve had an exciting week, hanging pictures in a home office that’s almost finished:
We’ve had an exciting week, hanging pictures in a home office that’s almost finished:
Playing with layout on the floor without making holes in the new paint!
Mark looks so happy AND it was his birthday--see the cake on the desk?
Can’t wait to show you this home when it’s ALL DONE--Turquoise Otomi Wallpaper in the Powder Room-- that’s all I’m saying :)
Today’s topic--EARTH ENERGY
There are 5 Elements in Feng Shui:
When they are all in balance, it feels wonderful, the vibes are GOOD and you never want to leave the space.
You can instantly feel when the elements are in harmony or when one or more of them have gotten out of balance.
Today let’s focus on the element of EARTH:
The Earth Element is represented by:
Example of Too Much Earth in a space:
- Fire
- Earth
- Metal
- Water
- Wood
When they are all in balance, it feels wonderful, the vibes are GOOD and you never want to leave the space.
You can instantly feel when the elements are in harmony or when one or more of them have gotten out of balance.
Today let’s focus on the element of EARTH:
The Earth Element is represented by:
- Yellow, Orange, Brown color spectrum
- Items made of brick, tile, ceramic
- Images of landscapes
- Horizontal lines
- Square shapes
Example of Too Much Earth in a space:
- Brown Paint Color on the walls
- Ceramic light
- Brown, Beige, Tan bedding
- Bed creating a horizontal line
The bedroom above represents a trendy, slightly mussy look, comfy-looking, perhaps--but…
Too Much Earth Energy can leave you feeling:
- Stuck in the Mud--can’t move forward
- Stubborn
- Worried
- Sluggish
- Apathetic
When Earth is in balance (as in this bedroom):
You will feel the energy of:
- Stability
- Reliability
- Protection
- Trust
- Nourishment
The EARTH ELEMENT is also necessary to maintain your sense of:
- Joy
- Peace
- Inner Balance
- Groundedness
Notice the element of earth in your space--do you have too much, too little, or does it feel just right?
There are always “corrections” that can be made in a space to balance the elements--when I work with clients to harmonize, balance and upgrade a space, I am always aware of these foundational principles and use very specific design “remedies” in the form of paint color, fabric choices, furniture, space planning, flooring, and art to correct or cure the energy of a space that has gotten out of balance.
I will be highlighting the other elements in future posts, so keep an eye out :)
And, if you would like to talk about working together, just send me an email and I will be in touch as soon as possible.
Lots of Love,
XOXO
Hello Beautiful!
Hope you’re having a good week--here’s a quick video so you can see how the OUTSIDE of this amazing home turned out:
Hope you’re having a good week--here’s a quick video so you can see how the OUTSIDE of this amazing home turned out:
If you are more of a “reader” than a “watcher”, the full article is below--WOWZA!
Sandy and Nancy (you can click links to other articles about them below) own this DARLING home. As soon as the inside was “done”, we started discussing upgrades to the outside because the interior was not a match to the exterior, to say the least!
This house is on a busy street in Madison, WI, but was definitely NOT receiving its maximum # of “Chi Hits” in it’s BEFORE state:
This house is on a busy street in Madison, WI, but was definitely NOT receiving its maximum # of “Chi Hits” in it’s BEFORE state:
*********************
What’s a Chi Hit?
Whenever anyone is compelled to look at your home, as they go by, they are DEPOSITING CHI (or energy) into your account. Just like a bank, the more the better!!!
*********************
Challenges BEFORE:
- You probably wouldn’t look at this house as you went past
- White vinyl siding fading away into the surrounding neighborhood
- Imbalance of front windows
- Rusty, wobbly wrought iron hand railings to the door
- Leeeeaning mailbox
Feng Shui Enhancements AFTER:
- Fresh minty green color for the siding--signaling fresh energy and causing this home to STAND OUT in the neighborhood--more chi for the neighbors, too!
- Deeper green color to outline and define the home
- Red, eye-catching door color AND cement steps to carry the red color forward and “roll out the red carpet” to all of the energy (and people) coming their way.
- New shutters on the right window creating balance for the front of the house
- New railings--sturdy, safe, copper-y
- Outside light, house number and new mailbox vertically lined up--a chiropractic adjustment at the front door.
******************************
Let’s Play!!!! If you spot this house in Madison, give it a wave (more chi for the owners) and email me with the address, I will send you a little gift :)

This home is GORGEOUS on the inside, every INCH was touched and re-designed to give these clients the maximum energy boost they asked for--they really went for it and NOW the outside matches the High Chi Inside--wait until you see the addition of landscaping next summer!

Hello Beautiful!
Did you dress up for Halloween?
I wore this Cowgirl hat (and cowgirl boots) while I wrote today--kinda fun--and about as far I get in the “costume” department :)

I do have an inner cowgirl, though--I rode A LOT as a kid (my friend’s Grandpa had a farm in Virginia and we rode almost every day/all day each summer growing up). I loved it--such awesome memories!
Today I want to share an INCREDIBLE transformation…
Here’s Sandy Eichel…
Today I want to share an INCREDIBLE transformation…
Here’s Sandy Eichel…
I worked with Sandy and her wife on their entire home (they are a couple of go-getters!) and last winter she asked if I would advise her on a new high-rise office space.
First, we took a tour of a few office space choices--if you have a choice, it’s important to have a Feng Shui consultation BEFORE deciding--so many times we are correcting for spaces that are not stable or have weird energy when simply choosing another space could’ve gotten you a better start in the first place.

This was the space we chose:

BEFORE:
This was the space we chose:
Looks promising, doesn’t it? There’s soooooo much potential--AND, to make it even more challenging, this is a corporation with RULES about Not Painting or Wallpapering:) Oh, RLY?
The goal was to create a high vibing workspace that included:
~A desk area for Sandy--She’s a Wealth Management Advisor at Northwestern Mutual and, in addition, an International Speaker and Diversity and Inclusion Consultant.
~A space to meet with clients
~Curated photos and awards for inspiration
~ A space that feels energetically balanced
~A big dose of fun--’cuz, Sandy’s FUN!

AFTER:
The beautiful orange wall is NOT wallpaper (in case anyone from Northwestern Mutual wants to know…) This bold patterned fabric provides a backdrop to the entire office--Sandy (this woman’s got skillzzzzzzz) sewed, stretched and velcroed it right to the wall. Her photos and awards are on display and a fun cardboard wall trophy overlooks the whole scene!
We replaced the industrial office light with this dazzling light with red cords. We also added a round table to have collaborative conversations with clients--hung her Madison art, and added some finishing touches...
And here’s the best part...Sandy is attracting “Dream Clients”!!!
AND, Her Speaking Career (her biggest request) has TAKEN OFF!!!!
She posted this in March:

And then posted about her interview published in Forbes Magazine in May:
And she posted this yesterday--off to Paris next month(!):
I am so excited for her--and honored to have been able to support her rise to fame by working with the energy of her office spaces--both at home and in the high-rise.

Hello Beautiful!
We are having a WOW(!) week here at Jane Antonovich Designs: clients finishing up big projects, we’re having some beautiful photographs taken (SO excited to share the results with you) and some new projects are unfolding!
One thing that’s been coming up with our clients recently is how to make a beautiful, energetically aligned space for guests. Whether it’s for an occasion like a wedding, or the upcoming holidays, or an occasional visit from family…a little TLC and thoughtful planning can make a huge difference in a guest room space.

One thing that’s been coming up with our clients recently is how to make a beautiful, energetically aligned space for guests. Whether it’s for an occasion like a wedding, or the upcoming holidays, or an occasional visit from family…a little TLC and thoughtful planning can make a huge difference in a guest room space.
6 Steps to Raise the Energy of Your Guest Room:
- Clear the Clutter--You knew I was going to say that, right? Set aside some time to clear out under the bed, nightstand drawers, make some space in the closet. Yes, it matters.
- Linens--Flannel or microfiber sheets feel SO COZY this time of year if you’re in cold climates. At the very least, give the guest sheets a wash. If they’ve been on the bed and covered up, unused, for any amount of time, they will feel stagnant. Maybe add a few drops of Lavender Oil on a damp washcloth when you throw them in the dryer--AHHHHHHH!
- Lights--Give your guests a reading light near the bed so they won’t have to stumble around to control the lights. And while we’re on the subject of electrical power...make sure there’s an outlet available for recharging your guests’ electronic devices (We have recently found table lamps with USB ports in the base--fancy!). A card with your wifi code on the nightstand is also a nice touch.
- A Place for Suitcases--Consider a low bench, chair or folding stand for suitcases--classier than putting everything on the floor.
- Atmosphere--Imagine your favorite hotel room experience, dark and cool. Consider light-blocking blinds or curtains and perhaps a fan for white noise + air circulation.
- Beauty--Add a small beautiful dish on the nightstand for jewelry, a single flower in a vase, small plant or a teensy bit of good, dark chocolate for some sweetness :)
If you are the air mattress-in-the-office-(or the sofa bed)-type of host, you can STILL use the ideas above to make a cozy, comfortable space for your guests. Yes, you can.
***Caution: If the Feng Shui in your home (and the guest room in particular) is TOO GOOD, your guests will not want to leave :)
For fun, “test” out your guest room by spending a night there to see how it feels and adjust accordingly!
Email me to let me know how your Guest Room VIBES are feeling--I would love to hear from you.
And, if you would like to really make HUGE SHIFT in your space (and your life), email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible
Lots of Love,
XOXO

The A to this Q is COMPLICATED--I think about it this way…
There are 5 Elements in Feng Shui:
- Fire
- Earth
- Metal
- Water
- Wood
When they are all in balance, it feels wonderful, the vibes are GOOD and you never want to leave the space.
You can instantly feel when the elements are in harmony or when one or more of them have gotten out of balance.
Let’s start by focusing on the element of FIRE:
The Fire Element is represented by:
- The red color spectrum
- Things made of leather, wool, bone
- Lighting and heat: sun, electric, candles, stove, fireplace
- Images of people and animals, especially faces
- Sharp, pointed shapes, small geometrics
Example of Too Much Fire in a space:
The above Living Room may have won awards for its design, but from a Feng Shui perspective, it’s out of balance and if you were to live in this space you might feel:
When FIRE is in balance in your space (as in this client’s home):
- Red geometric print wallpaper on the ceiling
- Red Paint on the walls
- Red geometric print on the upholstery and window treatment
- Art with people’s faces
- Red flowers
- Red lamps
- Red pillows
- Books and a big wooden trunk/coffee table to “feed” the fire
The above Living Room may have won awards for its design, but from a Feng Shui perspective, it’s out of balance and if you were to live in this space you might feel:
- Anxious
- Angry
- Sad
- Lonely
- And may be prone to Arguments and Disagreements
When FIRE is in balance in your space (as in this client’s home):
You feel--
So, check out your home or office, how do the rooms feel, in general, do you have fire elements in your space AND how do they make you feel?
Notice the element of fire--do you have too much, too little, or does it feel just right?
There are always “corrections” that can be made in a space to balance the elements--when I work with clients to harmonize, balance and upgrade a space, I am always aware of these foundational principles and use very specific design “remedies” in the form of paint color, art, fabric choices, furniture, space planning, flooring, and art to correct or cure the energy of a space that has gotten out of balance.
