The Feng Shui Way

The Christmas tree and other related decorations came down on Sunday. Following that, Anthony and I did a little rearranging of the living room.

We switched the location of the sofa: it went from being against the right-hand wall to being against the wall where the windows are, so it is now facing the entrance to the living room. In front of the sofa, of course, is the coffee table. To the right of the sofa, in the corner, is one end table. Off to the side, where the sofa once was, are two recliners, with an end table between them. We added lamps to each end table.

It may be hard to visualize if you have never seen my place, but believe me, it opened up the room so much, and the lamps are a great touch in lieu of overhead lighting.

Last night, when I got home from work, I did some feng shui in the den. I basically just organized it's storage space, moved the sofa over (yes we have two sofas) and placed an end table next to it, and added a lamp there as well. That also opened up the room, and made it very comfy in there.

I always tell Anthony how each apartment I move into gets bigger, and this proved it. My past two apartments were constructed for specific fits. Believe it or not, they did not allow for much, or any, feng shui. I have to admit, I dig the whole feng shui thing: it made a world of difference in terms of open space and our frames or mind regarding those two rooms.
