Battle of the Bed

What is good Feng-shui?

A few months ago in an attempt to make better harmony in our house Mariana re-arranged our bedroom. I guess the eastern facing bed was at odds with "The Grand Duke" or Jupiter as he is more commonly known and so we had to turn the bed to face west to better facilitate stability and prosperity in Casa de Vona.


Mariana's feng shui knowlege is extensive and greatly appreciated and I usually know better than to argue or question any of her arrangements.

Until now...

Normally I could care less what direction my faces but if you saw our bedroom you would have to agree that east is the only possible direction it could and should face.



If the bed faces east, it maximizes the view of the river, Hamilton and Bulimba accross the river. As well, there is an alcove in the west wall of the room that is made for the dresser or table on that end. On the east wall are outlets for end tables and the like, it is just obvious that the bed is supposed to face east, it is what the architenct would want.





Finally I was able to talk some sense into the girl and our bed faces east again. It might not be perfect feng shui but I can tell you that my harmony has been restored.





Kitty approved!

Always listen to the wife... she is the master of the home. My advice... put the furniture where she wants it and do it with a smile... it doesn't matter if it's for harmony or just her mood. That's just my advice. :)

you would think different if you saw this room and view. It is just the way it was meant to be...
