Wendy Mitchell

Hi! I’m Wendy Mitchell, owner of LUMOS Hearth & Home, entrepreneur, and full-time problem solver with a slight tendency to collect animals. I’ve built my business through grit, determination, and a refusal to quit—even when things get complicated. When I’m not working on my new showroom, you’ll usually find me at home on five acres in Amboy, managing what can only be described as a small, slightly unhinged farm: 10 cats, two dogs, seven chickens, four ducks, and—at the moment—four baby chicks living their best life in my bathtub. It’s chaotic, it’s messy, and it’s completely normal to me. It’s a bit of a funny farm, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. That balance of chaos and care is a big part of who I am—I work hard, I stay grounded, and I find a lot of joy in the simple, real things.

LUMOS Hearth & Home is an extension of that same energy—hardworking, a little scrappy, and built with intention. We recently moved from our established storefront in Battle Ground to a brand-new, built-from-scratch showroom in Brush Prairie. As a woman-owned business, I’ve been intentional about creating something that feels different from the typical fireplace and hot tub showroom. I didn’t want dark, overcrowded spaces that feel more intimidating and overwhelming than inspiring—I wanted light, openness, and a place people actually enjoy walking into. We’ve built more than just a showroom; it’s a space where homeowners and builders can explore ideas, ask questions, and feel confident making decisions about their homes. From fireplaces and stoves to hot tubs, pool and spa essentials, and custom window coverings, we help bring comfort, function, and a sense of ease to everyday living.  As we step into our next chapter, I’m focused on growing the business, strengthening relationships, and continuing to evolve what LUMOS can be. It may look a little more polished on the outside, but at its core, it’s still powered by the same mindset: figure it out, make it work, and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty—whether that’s in business or chasing ducks around the yard.
