Feng Shui

It all started a couple weeks ago when I decided to move all the furniture around in my bedroom to make room for one of our computer desks. Now, I am NOT one to move around furniture for fun, and if you are familiar at all with the principle of feng shui, you will know that this is the opposite of what you should do. I too agree that computers and desks do not belong in the bedroom, however, I don't think the creators of feng shui had 5 small children that use up all your bedrooms and like to play with cords and push buttons, etcetera. I figured I would make peace with my inner self by purchasing one of those oriental folding screens to partition the area off from the main bedroom. :)

I was not at all prepared for how invigorating it was to have a completely rearranged bedroom! Even the kids felt the energy! They walked in and all of the sudden they were everywhere laughing and dancing around in all the extra room (the desk has not moved in yet).

So, now it is 2 weeks later and 5 rooms in our home have seen changes, with one more still in the mental stage where I am envisioning it just how I want it! I'm not sure these changes will help me accomplish my goals like good feng shui should, but I have loved the physical labor of it all, I have loved cleaning scum and dust away from places that haven't seen the light of day for the three years we've lived here, and I have loved the new energy that is in our home with the changes.

Moving this chair to the family room was so exciting that all the kids had to immediately climb all over it! It didn't matter that it has resided in the basement play area for years without any of them ever sitting on it.
We got this new loft bed for Isabelle courtesy of craigslist, and she absolutely loves it! I love it because we still have room for their bookcase and rocking chair.
