water, pigment, glass, and PVC to suspend a Volkswagen sedan
Oh I love this illustration of how too much water energy will destroy metal. What this means??? If you have too much watery, free-form, unstructured space, blues and aquas, actual water, watery patterns, you are destroying the aesthetic, discriminating, focusing metal element in your environment.

just add a reading light and perhaps a fabulous bit of soft texture for sensory stimulation and we have a massively incredible library.
OMG, LOVING these brilliantly Italian-designed humidifiers to place on the common radiator to create steam heat. Take it to the next level with a single drop of a great essential oil blend, but just one drop in alot of water. Perfection!
Apartment Therapy Asks: hot or not?
And from my lens of feng shui, the idea of a rhythmic progression down a hallway is hot, if it were in some way slowing down the pace of traffic through the walkway, but here: NOT. Reason: Empty frames do not create contemplation or a progression, but here communicate ( to me, and I bet I am not alone) a sense of vast emptiness which is unfavorable when moving through space toward gathering areas. Well positioned and well-lit art can be effective to act as a gallery of thought-provoking, sensorially rich stimulation and even moments of relaxation or anticipation as you enter a space… But a vast collection of empty frames that seem to emerge from the wall loom large as vacant, sensorially-deprived arms reaching out to remind you of what is missing.

For the recession-price of $50 you can get yourself goal-achievement software. I mean, what have you got to lose but $50….?
Would you try this?

I’m telling you, Roni Horn knows how to manipulate the water element in nearly every form to reveal a dynamic element of otherwise more simplistic forms.
“ Today, though, we are left with a dilemma. How does one go about organising a wake for JD Salinger, the great literary hermit of American folklore? There are no photos to pore over and the timeline is truncated. We cannot celebrate his life, because he gave us no life to celebrate. We must simply celebrate the work instead.

What can I do to convince you that setting up an office space under a stairwell is counterproductive?

You may not be able to install this Horn piece in your home, but you still benefit from the transfixing take-away: water feeds intelligence and the wood energy of change. A big pitcher of water beside you on a table where you work will suffice to amp up your water vibe! (tip: stir it before you drink it to raise its “happiness” quotient!)
