Living Room Feng Shui Redesign

The previously bare mantle was styled with attention to a balance of the 5 elements of Feng Shui. Along with a purchased pair of glass hurricane jars and candles, we added a vase of flowers, and some wood and metal objects gathered from around the house. A consignment store wood-framed mirror replaced the smaller and beat up looking white one that had hung over the fireplace. The mirror (a water element) helps balance the fire of the wood burning stove insert, and brightens the room by reflecting the picture window opposite. Photo: Andy Shelter
