Feng
Shui correlates health,
wealth and happiness with
how we design and decorate
our home and work
environments. Literally, it
means wind and water and
focuses on the seen and the
unseen. |
The Chinese
use Feng Shui to determine
the correct place of all
things, here in our Western
World , we usually refer to
it as “The Feel of a Place”. |

Testimonial |

Dear Mary Dennis,
What a wonderful experience we have
just concluded while remodeling a
thirty-year-old apartment from the
deck to the ceiling...we never
really thought about the Art of
Placement, which has brought such
balance and enhancement to the
environment in the apartment...to
see the joy and happiness this
apartment has brought to my
sister...and her family has made all
our efforts really worthwhile...we
are all believers thanks to your
efforts.

| OVERVIEW OF FENG SHUI PROJECT |
|
|
This project included the Feng Shui Design of the interior and then the final steps of adding curb appeal to the entrance of the home: As you approached this house, the door and entrance left much to be desired. There was no sense of invitation and the windows and front door were all transparent, allowing visitors to see in immediately, and residents to feel uneasy. |
|
The Front Door in Feng Shui is where Chi, (energy) enters the space. It is important that energy enters without obstruction and gently meanders and stays within. In this first set of pictures, you view the uninviting front door and the foyer, where a open stair well is seen, the energy escaping through the stair spindles. As you will notice, the stair case wall was sheet rocked and made solid, to better contain the energy and to give a solid wall of support to all who enter.
 |
A new front door with a with stained glass was purchased and installed, giving a feeling of traditional elegance, and privacy. Sheer drapery was applied to the side windows, and a pair of Potted Topiaries were placed as guardians. |
 |
|
Looking out from the front
door , an empty planter
introduced the walkway. |
|
A water element in the front
of any home is considered
auspicious in the traditions
of Feng Shui –and this was a
perfect opportunity to add a
low maintenance fountain
with lush vegetation. |
 |
As you can see the influence
of Feng Shui Design, enhanced and
enriched this once bland, non supportive
landscape |
