There are many things we could look at from a negative perspective in Feng Shui. Or we can use INTENTION and some Western Methods to help correct our spaces. What to do when a client does not want to put ANY money into a space? We do the best we can and work with it.
These particular clients lived in the beautiful part of New York City called Tudor City. If you did not see the pictures of this lovely Historical part of New York, you can take a look here:
My clients, a husband and wife, had recently left a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in sunny Florida to relocate back to Manhattan. They had formerly lived in Tudor City and were delighted to find a studio there that was available to rent. They did plan to move, however, when a one bedroom became available and did not want to put any money into the place they were renting. This made a New York City Feng Shui Studio difficult.
I have her permission to post the interior of her room but because her personal belongings are in there I have chosen not to except for the kitchen and her views from her window. This was a one room studio, 210 Square Feet. A tight squeeze for two people! Describing the room to get a better picture: The walls and ceiling were all white, there was no artwork hung. There was a trundle bed (it pulled out from underneath) and a computer table with not only the computer but a printer and fax machine-all facing the bed.
Two burners, a miniaturized but workable kitchen.
The View: Beautiful Ocea
n View and all that Construction.
The Lobby of this beautiful, historic hotel. Many fine detailing in the woodwork and all throughout. The chandelier shows the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
Some issues with Pre-War Historic homes were the lack of outlets. There were two in this New York studio leaving many wires running under the bed; they were sleeping poorly with so much electromagnetic energy. There was also construction going on which is being fought by the tenants and owners; another Manhattan high rise that would obstruct their view of the water. And there was nothing to offset all that Water element, further adding to being tired all the time.
I felt that the most important thing to do while waiting for a one bedroom to come on the market was to address this place as HOME and to feel blessed to have it. These words, she said, had an impact on her. She had some lovely artwork from her home and I felt that hanging it would help add elements and deflect the eye from so much WHITE. And help address the water issues.
Some of the wires would be able to be wrapped in those specially designed items that hold wires inside a small plastic piece that runs along the wall. They could then be sent to the other outlet. We also devised something simple and very inexpensive to cover the computer and all the other items there when they were going to sleep.
To help deflect the energy of the building that was going on we INTENTIONALLY pushed it away with MIRRORS. And the one item I asked her to buy were curtains....not only were they in her FAME area but RED would also help deflect from so much water energy. All the other elements were there.
The current cost of this apartment per month is $1,500; a one bedroom would be considerably more. This is how we Feng Shui a New York City Condo...with addressing what we can with the elements, blessings and a lot of Intention.
