Another Feng Shui Mirror Cure (I Love This Stuff)

I love Feng Shui.  And mirrors.  So what a beautiful opportunity I had today to put the two together.  Again.

Here I am in my usual spot, writing at my desk with the window to the street wide open.  The weather in the City has been nothing short of phenomenal, and it is SOOO good.  So the AC stays off and the windows stay open.  Which lets in the air.  And the subsequent noise from the street.  The routine city ambiance is one thing (and an important thing.  I like it.  I find it soothing) but full-on ghetto thump from a parked car is quite another.

I feel myself wanting to get irritated, but I can't if I want finish my commentary on the NDE that I blogged at my other spot.  I keep on looking out the window trying to find the car responsible for this late afternoon interference, as though if I spotted it, it would somehow make a difference.  I hear a lot of bad so-called music from the streets around here, but this was the worst.  It wasn't the volume that bothered me so much as the horrendously low energetic vibration.  It was really beginning to piss me off!

Relaxed and Sensuous ~ A Porch to Live On

Traditional Porch by Peachtree City Architects & Designers Historical Concepts

by Sharda Chaitanya

What a lovely way to spend your hot, summer evenings!  This design and arrangement of this traditional porch are well balanced and quite inviting.  The earth tones blend in with the front yard, and the white day bed keeps the cool feeling while at the same time stands out enough to give the small space a bit of spark.  From a Feng Shui perspective, it all comes together in a simple way.

The furnishings and architecture has a lot of wood, so I would have made a different choice on the railing. I think maybe wrought iron, in keeping with the aesthetic, would give added diversity of material.  (But cost has to be a consideration also; staying within budget is good Feng Shui!)  The railing and the low wall is almost solid, which most likely gives the owner a greater feeling of privacy. As well, I think I would have painted the floor a darker color, probably a few shade darker that the natural finish on the wicker rocking chair.
