It's so personally cool to me that the pic you used to illustrate this point shows people making potstickers. About 25 years ago, in a summer house on Fire Island, NY, a friend from Taiwan showed m...

Really smart solution and a good example of using creativity instead of cash.

I agree HeyNowTex! Using the yellow as the window pane trim really works.

@suzy8track, I agree with you about the sterility factor. White= Metal element in feng shui, that's why and all white room feels very cold. And look, they even used a dead (dried) floral arrangemen...

I think I'd like the corner bed better if it didn't end halfway thru the second window and if it weren't crowding the fireplace so much.

If you live in an apartment that has mirrors on the closets in your bedrooms, you can hang these sheers over them so they are still accessible, but it will cut the stimulation of chi so you can sle...

Not just for kids! My man loves hot chocolate and this idea will go over big. Tip: to save time, use prebought stencils found found at any office supply store.

Here's another one: Szechuan Green Beans In a wok or large skillet, saute some ground pork sausage until it is crispy crunchy and nearly blackened. Add sesame oil. Throw in some green ...

What a cunning idea! Whenever you have organization combined with pretty, you've got good feng shui. These would make great gifts, too.

If the bucket portion was glass or ceramic, I think it would be easier on the eyes and be fit for a home instead of a barn.

I think a wall of phones is appropriate to a hotel or restaurant or a phone company, but not your home. However, if the first photo of all the colorful phones was made into a poster, it would make ...

The first photo with the Rebecca Szeto painting works for me because the striping colors used are subtle. The b & w also works...but I find the photo of the bedroom with the framed color photo on t...

There's somebody on our island living in an even smaller gypsy wagon version of this concept. I find the idea lovely but our vintage Airstreams feel roomier. fengshuibyfishgirl

Re: the electric blue room...is it me or does the ceiling feel too low? The paintings seem to be hung too high and accentuate the not-high-enough ceilings. The blue is not helping to offset this fe...

I'm a big fan of vintage Chinese "Nichols" rugs like Gidget's but her muddy looking brick wall and too-high mirror placement don't feel right to me. I think Amy's got the better feng shui vibe goin...

We've put vintage barntop spinners in our urns that turn with the wind. So much easier than watering topiaries! I'll post pics on my blog tomorrow (thanks for reminding me of what I see in my yard ...
