WINDOW TREATMENT
"Blue Hill Bay, Remembered" (c) Katy Allgeyer
“Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself… If you don’t have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.” ~ Merle Shain
WINDOWS ON THE WORLD Windows are such an integral part of all architecture that sometimes we hardly notice them unless our space doesn’t have any at all.
One from the archives that is a particular favorite!

WHAT’S BEHIND YOUR BED?
Photograph courtesy of Furnishism.com
What’s wrong with this picture? The headboard of the bed is along the same wall as the entryway to the left. That means this bed is definitely NOT in The Command Position to see who comes into the room while you’re resting and vulnerable in bed. Why is that important? Subliminal message is that you won’t feel safe because you are at a disadvantage. The obvious cure is to find The Command Position and place your bed there. If it’s impossible due to the architecture of the space, the second best cure would be to have a mirror strategically placed on the opposite wall so you can see the entry way from the bed. Design-wise that might mean a mirrored closet door, a standing mirror, etc. Feng Shui By Fishgirl likes that the bedroom in the picture above (from Furnishism.com)has balanced lighting and nice bedding. However it only has one side table (not a good balance for optimum feng shui), the sheer curtains and the satiny bedding seem to not be able to hold their own against the heavy leather furniture, there are no shades on the windows for light or privacy.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS
Letter from a Mother to a Daughter: “My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way… remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionaly lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you… my darling daughter. “

MAKE MONKEY BUSINESS OF YOUR PHOTOS
Okay I admit…this post has NOTHING to do with Feng Shui By Fishgirl. It’s a link to picmonkey because in our household, we like anything orange AND anything monkey (in addition to anything owls!). Picmonkey is a new free online photo editing application. It’s intuitively easy to use, relatively fast, and a lot of fun. I’m not sure that it has much more to offer than my mac’s built in iPhoto app, but it could be that there’s no learning curve involved here so that is where picmonkey has the advantage as it’s designed for those of us who are not computer savvy. Try it out and give us some feedback.
