Looking back at 2026 with gratitude- and Ahead with Bigger Visions

As I sit down to reflect 2025, I can honestly say how incredible this season of life and business has been. What started as a dream has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

Over the past year, Honey Home Designs staged over 100 homes throughout the Spokane area—each one unique, each one special. From charming older homes filled with character and history, to sleek, modern new construction, it has been an absolute honor to step into some of the most beautiful homes our area has to offer and help bring them to life.

Professionally, 2025 was a massive year of growth. I pushed myself, scaled my business in ways that once felt intimidating, and watched Honey Home Designs step into a new level. I was invited onto design podcasts where I shared how we scaled the business, what it takes to grow in a competitive market, and the heart behind intentional staging. I was also featured in the Spokane Journal of Business and recognized as an elite home stager in Spokane—something I don’t take lightly and am incredibly grateful for.

One of the biggest milestones? Purchasing my very own 18-foot box truck. A tangible reminder of just how far this business has come. I still remember being thrilled to stage just five homes a month. To now reflect on staging over one hundred homes feels both surreal and grounding, a reminder of what consistency and vision can build over time.

But beyond the numbers, the true highlight has been the people. The relationships built with agents, builders, creatives, and fellow entrepreneurs have been priceless. So much of my time has been spent alongside inspiring, driven people who I’m lucky to now call friends.

Now, as we step into 2026, I feel more excited than ever.

This year brings big changes and intentional growth for Honey Home Designs. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture staging-focused imagery that truly reflects our work. We’re investing in new inventory, refining our brand, and expanding with a clear goal in mind: staging 30 homes per month—something that once felt unimaginable.

This next chapter is about elevation, consistency, and continuing to serve our clients at the highest level. I’m deeply thankful for every home trusted to us, every conversation, every late night, and every step that brought us here.

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and everything still to come.
