My second bedroom, my sanctuary……
A bejeweled Medicine Buddha residing in the recess of my head board for a sense of serenity & activation of benevolent, healing Qi.
Some decorative accents……
A black crystal lamp base with metallic silver fan patterned shade. The reflective fan patterns are believed to dispel all Shar Qi.
I am grateful to be able to utilize this room for my retreat & relaxation.
Here’s my master suite……
A peacock print to invite auspicious ”Qi” to the room.
My mega dresser, hopefully I will have enough space for all my beauty treats.
And the mirror is rather panoramic…..
Bedside table used as entertainment unit for my ancient IMac, solely used as a DVD player.
A tall & solid headboard for support & protection, in terms of Feng Shui.
Owl is a renowned symbol of wisdom & protection……
A bunch of bright colour blossoms, mainly blooming peonies for wealth & romance luck !
The dining section……
An ornamental stool & bright cushions to inject some funkiness……
A glass table panel for a touch of transparency.
A bench over the other side for a communal feel.
Chair with arm rest & back support for a sense of hierarchy.
A cup of tea, anyone?
The Foyer……
or shall I say my garage for bags?
I still have truck loads of bags to fill the space underneath this bento console table.
Some artificial flower craft to brighten up the entrance.
My kitchen, likely to be under utilized but seemingly I have most of the white ware……
Fancy coming over & help me make dinner ? ( I mean you do the cooking & washing, I will just enjoy your delicious meals )
The living room……
The 46″ HD LED Smart TV, if only I am smart enough to utilize its full potential……
Home sweet Home.
The solid exterior, with rose bushes leading to the main entrance.
The kitchen overlooking the front garden. Let’s hope that the flowers are going to bloom ……Green fingers apply within.
The side of the house, more lawn to mow……
The private lounge opening to the patio & back garden.
To be followed by the living quarter……
My new home……
The living room, without any furniture
No rewards if you’re guessing that I am not really going to utilize this kitchen much.
The open plan living & dining section.
The master bedroom sans furniture
Yes, the walk in wardrobe.
More photos coming soon, with furnitures in place.
This kind of collaboration ( Designer & High Street ) always have my heart racing; This time, Missoni @ Target – I need my VISA! ( no, not the credit card this time, for once; but the travel document )
Imagine dressing your entire home for less than a Chanel or Hermes bag? With designer gears, of course.
I am thinking of the Missoni boutique hotel in George V Bridge, Edinburgh……
Maybe I wouldn’t mind spending more time in the kitchen or doing the dishes if they’re that gorgeous.
Packing & storing in style.
Now, for all the beauty junkies & fashionista, here’re the money shots……
Images sourced from fashionista.com
This McQueen rug will be great at the front door/foyer area; in Feng Shui, crimson bird is the celestial guardian of the front/facing direction.
Crimson bird is said to bring abundant opportunities. Place any feathered creature symbol in your facing direction to activate the beneficial crimson bird’s Qi.
Pity the background colour is in black, it would be more auspicious if it’s red.
I wouldn’t recommend skull patterns from Feng Shui point of view, but as a fashionista, I am always amused by McQueen’s skull print.
If you can’t afford the rug, the humming bird patterned cushion will do. ( Since you’re going to place in your lap or hugging it )
Welcome to the 800th post of LPB ! Let’s talk about deco.
From Feng Shui point of view, the common areas of the house would much benefit from a more ” Yang ” energy. This benevolent ” Qi ” must be allowed to flow smoothly through the house. ” Yang Qi ” would enliven your space & revitalised your energy, making you more optimistic, vibrant & sociable.
Aesthetically, light neutral colours convey a more spacious feel & establish a ” bright hall ” effect; Providing an illusion of ” potential “.
Coupled light neutral wall with dark solid floor for a “ground ” feel. It’s important that you feel ” established ” in your own environment. Benevolent energies are welcomed & encouraged to flow smoothly into the living space, but you would also like to ground them & utilise them to nurture your environment.
In contrast, darker shades convey a more ” Yin ” energy field and it’s more suitable for private areas where rest & seclusion are the priorities. A room too ” yin ” is good for relaxation & retirement but would not serve a great purpose for gathering & entertaining.
So make sure your living room & dining area have a more ” Yang ” outlook. Lighting helps, so does those odd ornamental pieces that add some element of vibrancy & excitement.
