Home Office Feng Shui Makeover

Happy Monday beautiful people~ it's great to be back blogging.  I had to hit the "pause" button for the last 6 weeks to help my Mama deal with a major surgery and recovery.  She is on the mend and cancer-free (SUCH a blessing!)...so this Mother's Day was especially meaningful.  My heart goes out in gratitude for all of your support and emails.

I have always loved "Before" and "After" photos and segments in magazines, online and of course HGTV makeover shows! It makes my spirit happy to see how far people can come, not only design-wise, but also energetically.  As a Feng Shui consultant, I have the humble job of helping clients to facilitate change, release, transformation, clearing.  I offer guidance on the energy of their belongings, the symbolism of their art, photos, clutter.  I make color recommendations and help with placement.  When I first arrive, clients are often embarrassed and apologetic for the state of their home.....explaining that they've been meaning to (insert project here) or "please don't look in that room".  I explain that we ALL have at least one room, drawer, closet that we try to ignore.  Shut the doors, don't open the drawer.  "That" room is usually the one that correlates to the life issue that they are experiencing, the very reason they have called me in for a Feng Shui rescue!

My own home feels balanced and welcoming.  It represents who we are and where we hope to go together as a family.  The only thorn in my side was our home office.  When we originally built the house my husband needed a home office for his consulting business. The home office became my "embarrassing room".  The design style was a hodge-podge that didn't flow with the rest of our home.  The dark chocolate brown paint color that Hubby chose to be "masculine" was far too dark and Earthy (muddy!).  The enormous oak Executive desk took up most of the room.  The desk was even too big to put in Commanding Position.

BEFORE (UGLY & embarrassing!)

After Ethan got an office outside the home, I snatched "that" room up as my own Feng Shui office.  It has been transformed into my Mom Cave.  My Feng Shui sanctuary.  It is SO much lighter and brighter.  It makes me happy just to sit in here drinking my chai and losing hours on Pinterest.  I feel more inspired, motivated and creative.  With a little dreaming and elbow grease, I created my very own Chi-shifting "Before and After":

AFTER!!!
