What is the essence of Feng Shui? Is it clearing clutter? Rearranging your furniture? Purchasing a special object or ‘cure’? Feng Shui is about all those things, but none of those things represent the essential quality of Feng Shui. You’ve probably heard me say, “Feng Shui isn’t about the stuff, it’s about the energy.” Did you wonder what I meant? Feng Shui is about Yin and Yang, the ebb and flow of energy around us, the give and take that occurs in all aspects of our lives. Moving energy is energy that circulates, and energy that circulates flows.

You may have spent generous amounts of time and money decorating the “public” spaces in your home. Living rooms, great rooms, kitchens and powder rooms are often considered top priorities because these are the spaces most commonly inhabited by guests. However, it is even more important to consider the design and decor of your bedroom. Although you may be the only person who ever uses this space, the principles of Feng Shui hold that bedrooms are crucial because they express
Once a secret technique used by the Chinese emperors, Feng Shui has become widespread and acknowledged even in the Western world. When Mao Tse-tung rose to power in mainland China, most Feng Shui masters flew away from China, as the new political climate was not necessarily auspicious to the use of such traditions.

In this world of change, doing what we can to help the environment is not just a good idea, or as Martha Stewart would say, “a good thing”, it’s the only thing. We are all stewards of this wonderful world we live in; making choices that support sustainability, recyclability, and minimal use of our resources is a great thing! When I began my design practice over 15 years ago, there were very few options available. If you wanted low VOC paint, it had to be special ordered (and maybe even mixed by hand!), and it came with a hefty price tag.

The island is the most remote landmass in the world and because it is, the water is pristine.

One feng shui solution for this is to place a mirror so we always know who is entering the room behind us.

Feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The basic principle is that life-force energy, known in China as "chi", flows through your dwellings and has a powerful effect on the way you feel and think. The surrounding landscape as well as the objects, layout and emotions in your environment affect this flow of energy. When your space is filled with positive energy and symbols, you feel happy and motivated. To simplify, your goal is to maximize the positive energy and minimize the negative.
