wednesday wisdom

monet was not only a great, great artist but he appreciated and was inspired by his flowers and gardens.  flowers bring such beauty, good energy and fragrance;  they inspire me in my design work as well.  i just love to have fresh flowers around all the time, even a couple of roses or a small bowl of floating blooms does the trick.  for more flower inspiration, visit my instagram page to see some of my flower vignettes.    happy wednesday.  xx, dana

monday morning feng shui

as i watched the meryl and charlie (olympic pair ice skating gold medalists) skate on the rockefeller ice skating rink in nyc this morning, good feelings, joy and happy smiles ensued.  if you didn't get a chance to see it, click here to view it...you won't be disappointed!  their grace, beauty, synchronous and magnetic energy inspired my post today.  

feng shui is all about energy, some people are more sensitive to it than others but i believe we all can feel or sense it.  using this keen sense in your home and design needs helps you to create a space that is all you...or your family.  think of it like a tea bag filled with your own personal blend of herbs and infused just to the right point to suit your tastes.  
this is glamorous

turning point 2
these flowers are my energy fix for the day (and i think they embody meryl and charlie's superb ice skating).      i'd love fresh flowers everyday...not always in the budget though...but on this particularly dreary day they are really needed.  check my instagram later to see what i do in my own home with flowers to bring this graceful, magnetic energy to reality in my life today.  xx, dana

monday morning feng shui: a quick tip for instant change

good morning to all.  the sun is shining here, it is so beautiful to see the yellow glow on my porch today!  just a quick post...wherever you are, wherever you call home, your office or even if you are away on travel; this quick feng shui will make you feel instantly energized. 
 
use flowers or a plant to add instant life to your space.  if you need color, buy a bunch of fresh cut flowers at the nearest market; pay attention to the color you are attracted to as this has significance.  if color is not what you gravitate to, a small plant or even a single plant stem placed it in a nice, clear and clean vase will do the trick.  you will be amazed at how much these simple touches change your space, all while energizing and uplifting your mood.  ♥dana
