I'm glad you're studying it and seeing how it applies to your living conditions. There are some basic design concepts built into Feng Shui that make a lot of sense, such as the relationship between the bathroom to the kitchen, the placement of the bed in the room. I'm afraid to do it on my new tiny apartment. Speaking of bed placement I may need to place a "cure" because my feet in the bed positioning are facing the door, the way they carry you out. Well, I hung a crystal on a red string in between the door and the bed, so maybe I've instinctively taken care of it.<BR/><BR/>But the most important thing the analysis will tell me is to get rid of clutter. Since the apartment is tiny, that is difficult to do. I intend to purge some more during the Labor Day weekend.Arturohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10971352220152467379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-61524105392952028342007-08-23T16:39:00.000-05:002007-08-23T16:39:00.000-05:00Hi there,<BR/>I'm all over this like a coat of great new paint :)<BR/>It's time to spend some money.(but not too much of course) First, sit and watch HGTV for a while to get inspired. Second..go find a couch that you all LOVE..it will take 12 weeks to arrive, <BR/>So Fourth, you'll have time to repaint the walls (go to Benjamin Moore, pick the colors, go to Duron and they will match it for 1/2 the Benjamin Moore price :) <BR/>Fifth: Do a little re-framing..or find stuff (art, tapestry, family photos that could be enlarged, some nice pottery) from other parts of the house. Def. get a new lampshade. <BR/>6th: Move the computer out of there. (I have one computer on a small desk in my kitchen, another is in the "office" which is the 4th bdrm. <BR/>7th: Move the futon to a basement/guest room/ kids play room(?) A while I'm on that subject...give the kids a play room, if they don't have one..try to carve one out of a room..get all their stuff away from your stuff and you will find peace and harmony in no time flat. <BR/>Okay, where was I? Oh 8th: nice entertainment center. Of course, that will be determined by the size of the TV and whether it will get bigger at Christmas (they are never big enough according to most hubby's polled) So, low flat bookcases, even something from Circuit City (not to pricey and they actually look pretty good) will do the trick and then another books case (matching wood) for the movies/CD's. Hide wires too. Sauder is a good brand for bookcases if you can't go with the real wood.<BR/><BR/>That's my plan. We did it when the kids were 3 & 5 and haven't looked back since (the futon has even survived 8 moves)<BR/>;-D<BR/><BR/>Oh, if futon can't be moved, def find a new cover. that's a great way to spruce it up.<BR/><BR/>Above all, have fun!!!!Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712807540726512236noreply@blogger.com
