    :) more bikes...

    ZencenturyLOL- I have no idea why but birds - statues etc are meant to be in the south part of your yard - dragons ( for protection-I think) in the east and turtles- representing your family members all safe and tucked in the north. - at least in my yard- not that I have a menagerie of crazed yard gnomes or anything- at least not yet....
    Kimmy That is pretty much how I felt before she came over.. I was nervous..we have "stuff" everywhere...
    I think the idea is that you want enough space so the energy can flow- too much clutter blocks the natural flow of energy coming and going..so maybe the pingpong table might be ok- so long as you can get around it

    Mr. Silver- you and I are on the same page- my husband not so much- it is all about the "deal" with him so maybe I will quote you
    This assessment was not so much about decor but more about room placement- ie the place place for the kitchen, bedroom, room for hobbies etc etc-
    It was all quite interesting- like I said really much of it is just good design.
    LBTC We had been planning on a big reno- it will be done in stages though- basement first then kitchen/living area when we have a) the time b) the money
    The cure for anything is salt water;
    sweat, tears or the sea

    Pink Florida Flamingos surrounded by deciduous trees and fallen fall foliage--what would the Feng Shui master think about that? Do you think her head would explode? THAT wouldn't be very calming.

    Juju, I think this is clearly an example of the very rare species flamingus plasticus, I have heard they are the only species of flamingo naturally found in the united states, and that they migrate yearly from tract houses everywhere to their normal winter habitat, 'active' retirement communities in florida..... they must not have started their winter migration yet!

    Okay, this doesn't help me at all. I have butterflies and other bugs on sticks, worms, frogs, a rat, a strange looking pointy headed swiss gnome, and a statue of shiva's head. where are these supposed to go????

    Yeah, I've always just thought of feng shui as a fancy term for 'aesthetically pleasing', at least for my tastes anyway. We're in the process of redoing our place now, slowly, and it working so that most rooms we've 'done' end up being very minimalist, preferable balanced and with soothing colors and whatnot.

    Though, zen has a point. I think my yard could definitely use some pink flamingos, I mean seriously, whose yard couldn't??
