Feng Shui

[Mango]

I am a big believer in feng shui. I just need a housekeeper to help me get there. There are many basic principles with feng shui that many people may know, without knowing they are feng shui. eg- not having a dining room with opens directly into the bathroom toilet, for all to see and hear. ;-)

or right next to the fridge.

If it works the way it's supposed to, sure! So far I've only done the bathroom; today's the bedroom and then I work my way down the hall. The hard part is de-cluttering. I"m a bit of a slob.

How do you feng shui a bathroom?

I firmly believe in feng shui. I use it in my office frequently and how it is decorated. Certain colors and elements are required. I found out that I need metals around, so I have frames with silver etc. My house has a Southern exposure. I also do not keep a lot of clutter around. I can't function. It can get really complex, but I know that at the very least
de-cluttering is a grayt start. :clap_1:

I also practice 30Gays Funk Way!

Isn't the de-cluttering part a bit difficult this time of the year??

No it's not, because you have to move stuff around anyway to make way for Christmas decorations. It's a good time to say "Let's move this...out...permanently!" And there, you've de-cluttered.

Jdarg, google "feng shui bathroom" and see all the info you come up with. In my bathroom, there was too much fire (red) so I switched out the rug that was on the wood floor for a calmer green one with a softer pattern. I also switched some pictures around and added one mirror and a plant. Now it looks nicer and it's also feng-shui-ier.

i am intrigued by the whole concept of feng shui. unfortunately i am a slob/pack rat married to a pack rat, so our house is one giant cluttery mess.

Mermy, I have been decluttering my house for two weeks!!! I didn't think of feng shui, but in a way it is, I guess. I'm talking about organizing, getting rid of, simplifying, and making more functional, every room and closet in the house. I just have to do it before I can even think of bringing in a tree or decor. I had just emailed Mango a few days ago to tell her about my madness.

Good luck, and give us some good tips...

NO! I must do it before I can bring in the first piece of christmas decoration. don't ask me why, but even my closet (upstairs, way away from the living area) has to be in top shape before I can relax for Christmas (I've still got some work to do on that closet)...

I was just hoping you didn't get lost in the closets.
