<\/h5>    <p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">About Jenny Nakao Hones (in her own words)<\/p>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I am an interior designer and a certified feng shui consultant from&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bluemountainfengshui.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Mountain&nbsp;Institute.&nbsp;<\/a><\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I have years of conventional interior design experience remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, living room and more.&nbsp; I have also worked on multi-family, new construction, nursing homes and commercial design.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About ten years ago, I went to a lecture on feng shui given by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluemountainfengshui.com\/about\/about-master-shan-tung-hs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master Shan-tung Hsu<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It changed my whole approach to design.&nbsp; Dr. Hsu teaches us how and why forms and environments can affect the way we feel, think and act.&nbsp; It taught me how to balance the energy of a design with the physical world, creating a more holistic space.&nbsp; Our living environments affect our body, mind, and spirit.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In feng shui, we believe that all things have an innate energy, that we call&nbsp;<em>Chi<\/em>.&nbsp; Living things such as people, pets and plants have energy.&nbsp; But also all non-living things have an energy too.&nbsp; We just vibrate at a different level.&nbsp; By understanding these energies, we are able to assess and design spaces that are conducive to more chi.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little bit about my background.&nbsp; I am a third generation Japanese American, born in Hawaii and&nbsp;raised in Tokyo.&nbsp; Living in Asia for over 30 years, I have a strong love and sensibility for Asian culture and design.&nbsp; I share this passion on my blog called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/asianlifestyledesign.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AsianLifestyleDesign.com<\/a>&nbsp;where you can find recipes, health and design tips and stories on Japanese culture.&nbsp; Please do stop by!<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I was a homemaker for many years before going back to school to study interior design.&nbsp; Some of my friends used to joke to ask if I was the Japanese Martha Stewart.&nbsp; As a family we loved to entertain and gather around the dinner table to share hot&nbsp;<em>shabu<\/em>&nbsp;<em>shabu<\/em>&nbsp;meals with friends and neighbors.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being a mother of three gave me the ground work to understand how spaces work.&nbsp; I made a lot of mistakes with every home I lived in.&nbsp; We lived in a variety of climates too, from temperate to tropical and even in the desert.&nbsp; But through real, everyday living, I slowly began to understand what made one room cozy, while the other feel cold.&nbsp; Why light colors made a room expand and darker colors made the space feel smaller.&nbsp; And so much more.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now, as emptynesters, we are leading a more quite life in the country where my husband grows lettuce.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have learned from Master Hsu, that as life goes through many transitions, our living spaces will naturally change too.&nbsp; We are all seeking harmony in life.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thanks for visiting my site.&nbsp; I would love to help you find design solutions to make you life simpler, easier and less stressful.&nbsp; And I would love to help you create beautiful spaces that make your life the best you can be.<\/h5>    <h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Please feel free contact me for any questions at&nbsp;jenny@threefrogsdesign.com&nbsp;or call&nbsp;425-444-3046.<\/h5> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/threefrogsdesign.com\/ This class was prepered and presented by Jenny Nakao Hones, from https:\/\/threefrogsdesign.com\/.&nbsp;
