In Feng Shui, one of the biggest tools you have at your disposal is to let go of clutter--items you no longer need or love. This creates space for all of the new fresh energy to enter your home or office. Sometimes, though, once the decluttering happens, you may feel depleted, especially if you’ve really done a thorough job! So, if this is you, and AFTER a good clear-out session you feel sad, blah, or tired, that means you've kicked up some stagnant energy...old boxes, books, clothes, furniture, papers, etc. hold old, stuck energy. This release can wreak havoc on you physically and emotionally and is perfectly NORMAL. So, take a break from the space, get some fresh air, drink lots of water, and then give some of these a try: 8 EASY Tips to Energetically Clear Your Space 1. CLEAN! Mop, sweep, scrub EVERYTHING! The walls, floors, ceiling, furniture, closets, windows, EVERYTHING! 2. Open the windows/door and run a fan out the windows (blowing away the stagnant energy) 3. Light a candle, Put in fresh light bulbs and leave ON the lights for a bit 4. Put a high quality crystal salt in open containers around the space to absorb the energy. 5. Diffuse essential oils such as Citrus or Cloves 6. Party! Turn on some music, bring in the pots, pans, bells, singing bowls and make some noise--even clapping your hands all around can give your space a huge energetic boost!!!! 7. Arrange to have the decluttered items that are leaving the space taken away and off the premises as soon as possible. 8. Set the intention that the space will go forward filled with light and love.

Hello! Happy Summer--I hope your summer is turning out to be just as amazing as you are! Thanks for reading my weekly news, without you, who would I write to? As you know, an important Feng Shui concept is balancing the 5 Elements:
You can instantly feel when the elements are in harmony or when one or more of them have gotten out of balance. This week let’s focus on the element of FIRE: The Fire Element is represented by:
You will feel--
So, now it’s YOUR turn, check out your home or office, how do the rooms feel? Do you have a balance of fire elements in your space AND how does that make you feel? There are always “corrections” that can be made in a space to balance the elements--when I work with clients to harmonize, balance and upgrade a space, I am always aware of these foundational principles and use very specific design “remedies” in the form of paint color, fabric choices, furniture, space planning, flooring, and art to correct or cure the energy of a space that has gotten out of balance. I will be highlighting the water element in an August post, so keep an eye out :) And, if you would like to have a conversation about working together, contact me and we will be in touch SOON!

The ensuite bathroom turned out to be just as (if not MORE) stunning of a transformation! I hope you enjoy ❤️ BEFORE: AFTER: Feng Shui Design Upgrades: ~The window was changed to allow for better airflow--the panels now open out instead of in and the beautiful shade gives options for allowing in the light and view. ~A sleek modern tub replaced the old built-in model ~A custom steam shower replaced an old standard insert ~Beautiful marble tile enhances the floor and shower walls--the old, dark “mountain pattern” design was replaced ~A gorgeous light hangs over the tub ~A stunning piece of art gives our clients something to gaze upon while using the space ~The orange tone paint color balances, with its little bit of fire, all of the metal energy in this space. So, now it’s your turn, take a fresh Feng Shui look at YOUR bathroom--are there any tweaks, large or small, that could give your space a boost? Remember clearing out clutter is a GREAT place to start! Reach out if you would like to chat about upgrading your bathroom, or any space in your home--I would love to hear from you :) Lots of Love, XOXO #fengshuidesign #homedesign #hichi #fengshui #fengshuilifestyle #interiordesign #design #energy #bathroomdesign #madisonwi #madison #desmoines #westdesmoines #boulder #chi #energywork #remodel #energyupgrade #virtualdesign #minimakeover #energybalance #elements #condodesign #kohlerwi #mainbathroom #renovation A Feng Shui transformation STARTS with the space but then the space affects YOU! And that’s where the excitement is--that’s where the FUN is!!!! Our clients wanted a bedroom upgrade--they had just added new chandeliers over the nightstands but could feel that there was even more potential in this space…the chandeliers are gorgeous and they remained but, as you can see, everything else changed and so did their lives… BEFORE: AFTER: Feng Shui Upgrades: ~A burnt orange curved and soft velvet headboard replaces the dark one ~The footboard--which is a BLOCK to getting thrown over the edge of the bed in a passionate moment❣️--was eliminated (Remember, save the bedroom for sleep and intimacy--(bu-bye TV) ~Simple, soft bedding ~A beautiful soft color painted on all of the walls ~New silvery, lighter furniture replaces the dark pieces ~Simple floral arrangements ~A beautiful photo of the couple’s wedding reminds them every night of their connection ~Beautiful wood flooring and a soft area rug replaces the wall to wall carpeting Now this bedroom feels more balanced, lighter, sweeter, softer, sexier and over the years (we’ve expanded the energy of the whole house through Feng Shui Design) the upgrades that they’ve seen for their lives have included--launching their boys successfully out into the world, BOTH of them landing bigger and better careers, vibrant health and a sweet loving relationship with each other. One of them said to me a few weeks ago, “I don’t know how you’re doing it, but the results are magical!” So, now it’s your turn, take a fresh Feng Shui look at YOUR bedroom--are there any tweaks, large or small, that could give your space a boost?
