An EASY Feng Shui Cure

Hello Beautiful!

I had the AMAZING opportunity to work with Della this week on a Feng Shui project. Della is an Operation Fresh Start student (about to graduate--WOOHOO!) and an aspiring Interior Designer. Her mentor, Jody, is a past client of mine (I am so lucky to have such amazing people in my circle) and connected us for a meeting which blossomed into this fun afternoon of hanging mirrors together--

​Mirrors are a Feng Shui Cure for MANY imbalances
Many homes have an overabundance of EARTH energy, and while Earth Energy is grounding and stable, too much of it can leave you feeling “stuck in the mud” and unable to move forward in life.

Mirrors represent Water Energy and they help by adding FLOW to spaces that feel stuck and dark. 

For this project--Leah wanted a big upgrade to her empty and dark family room. It has rough wooden paneling and was painted beige with beams (purely “decoration”) running across the ceiling creating lots of downward, divisive energy. 
We made A LOT of changes (paint, flooring, furniture, lighting AND took the beams down), which I will highlight in another post, but today I want to focus on the mirror wall that went in across from the sliding door.

7 STEPS to create a stunning mirror collage:

  • Find mirrors! We did some mega-thrifting to find these treasures. We were specifically looking for different sizes, shapes, emphasizing round and oval mirrors to balance the wood paneling and the vertical “stripes” you see in the paneling.

  • Measure THE WALL space where the mirrors will go. In this case the space above the sofa.

  • Re-create with two tape measures (vertical and horizontal) the same space on the floor.

  • Arrange the mirrors on the floor within the space--balance size, shape and go for FLOW!

  • VERY IMPORTANT! Take pictures of the arrangement on the floor for reference

  • (And this is where it gets tricky…) Start Hanging(!!!!!)--In this arrangement, we started with the round metal Chinese “coin” mirror and the white diamond mirror because they were exactly in the center. Then we worked on the left side and finished with the rest. Once we got the center two mirrors hung up, we did not measure, just used our photos and our spidey senses to tell us what felt the best. We only omitted one mirror on the wall from the floor “plan”--it just seemed like too much.

  • Celebrate! (Della and I had a High-Five and took pictures :)

Even Leah’s Cat, Emmy, made another appearance--purrrrrring throughout the entire project!
This wall FACES the sliding door so the mirrors will double the light, bounce it around to create a BIG uplift in energy. Notice, too, that you can see the (newly added) ceiling light doubled in the mirror.

This Family Room HAPPENS to be in the Wealth Corner of Leah’s home--excited to see abundance pouring in for her and her family!

BIG THANKS to Della and Operation Fresh Start for this opportunity--Della was wonderful to work with.

More pictures of this space coming SOOOOOOON--what an exciting project!!!!

Lots of Love,
XOXO
