Feng Shui – Vision Board

You've saved lots of ideas you had hopes of getting around to. You've forgotten quite a few of them, and you keep collecting more projects you won't get around to either. Some are really interesting. Here is a fun project (don't scoff, it can be fun). Go through them, organizing them into notebooks. If you...

Feng Shui – Living Room

The living room arrangement should be comfortable, and not in the way that you should sink into all the couches and chairs, but that they are arranged in a conversational group, cozy but not too close, spaced so there is breathing room between. Nor should furniture be lined up around the walls, nor too near...

Feng Shui – Money Down the Drain

Feng Shui - Money Down the Drain The Elephant in the Middle of the House could be the bathroom, where money escapes (flushed down the drain). It shouldn't be in the center of the house. Nor should it sit across from the kitchen. And your bedroom shouldn't be facing it. What do you do with...

Feng Shui – Pretty Plants

Feng Shui - Pretty Plants If you enter the house by the same door, what's first (bearing in mind that this is an important door)? If the kitchen, is that where you head for food, as in, "let's eat!" The bedroom where the first thing you think is: "I'm tired!" You may need to be...

Feng Shui – Family Room

Feng Shui - Family Room Is this true for you: you have a 'family room,' but you never see them there. It is nice, as rooms go, but was painted beige, starkly furnished with, you guessed it, beige.

Feng Shui – Dining Area

Feng Shui - Dining Area The dining area is best placed to the East of the kitchen and should have two entrances to allow beneficial ch'i to flow. Comfort is important. Artwork should be nice, not a picture of a raging bull charging the matador. That just encourages arguments. Use candles for every family meal,...

Feng Shui – Windows

Feng Shui - Windows Do you have windows at opposite ends of the room? If you do, ch'i flows in, but symbolically whizzes right out. One attractive way to handle this is to use one of the windows for the view, choosing the one with the best one for the window. The second one might...

Simple Feng Shui

Simple Feng Shui Want fast and simple Feng Shui? This is a quickie cure that only involves two things. First, open the windows. Let fresh air enter. That was easy! Second, move the furniture. You aren't decorating or relocating with this one, just move it. (A bonus would be to clean under it while you...

Feng Shui – Front Entrance

Feng Shui - Front Entrance Although a front entrance is considered most important to the energy coming in, if you have access in the North use that door more often when you enter your home. The fortunate colors for this direction are black and blue. Not seeing either as a door color, how about a...

Feng Shui – Spider Plant

Feng Shui - Spider Plant If you're into organic fruits and vegetables and earth-friendly cleaning materials, Feng Shui may be a natural fit for you. There are many cures to help minimize toxins in your environment. One of the strongest is the spider plant, which filters carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and xylene from the air, especially...
