So, we ordered a new bedroom set for presidents day weekend and what an adventure that was! I can't begin to contain my excitement at the thought of having a "put together" bedroom..seriously. Some background and context on why I might feel that way just to make it interesting:
We are currently using the headboard from my husbands old house (yes where his ex wife lived as well) which I detest..its so ornate and well just ugly. Oh and did I mention HUGE? My husbands old house was over 7000 sq feet so you can imagine the size of the master bedroom..well mine is not nearly that large.
So I decided on the King Street set from Thomasville which I love and it fits in the room so much nicer, it was more than I anticipated spending but who knew bedroom furniture cost 10,000 once you got all the pieces you need? Seriously, I had NO CLUE, what a rip...I was thinking more along the lines of 5k? Yeah, that would have covered the bed and night stand? I really went into the wrong career..apparently I should have been making furniture. It will be here in about 4 weeks so I need to get that room prepped and ready to go! So on to the feng shui of my craptastic bedroom..
I am all about making my life more peaceful these days so this is terribly appealing to me and given that we are redoing the bedroom anyway this is a good time to make good energy flow changes!
So, one problem is that I have some pictures that I wanted to put in but they have water in them and you aren't supposed to have water in your bedroom because it douses the "fire"..LOL this makes me laugh.
My good points on the FS are:
I hate mirrors in the bedroom so there are none in my furniture order..
The bed is large and wooden
I ordered two bedside tables so there will be balance
I dont love taking care of plants and they typically turn brown anyway so there wont be any in my bedroom
there will be a clear path into the bedroom and to both sides of the bed
the tv will remain in my room but it will be in a cabinet (I consider this a total win)
I do not exercise therefore I do not forsee a problem with having any exercise equipment in the room...LOL
Bad FS points:
I want to paint the room in a soothing ocean color (specifically benjamin moore rhine river), I really dont want a skin color in my room
Lighting, this really isn't a bad fs point other than for my electricians sake..aka my husband.
electromagnetic fields...yeah like my husband will ever leave his blackberry outside of our room..he just doesn't care about our romantic chi..thats all...lol
Well, I have bored you all enough with my feng shui stuff..and if you got this far who of you all believes in this? I am not sure I do but its worth a try I figure harmony is one of my new buzz words for life.

I want before and after pics!!!
Dude. It can't hurt. When I read about FS it freaks me out. Specially with a bedroom that requires the bed to be in one specific positiion. Oh, I LOVE the new furniture. Did you get the sleigh bed or the panel bed? I think 'finishing' a room in your home and in your mind relieves tons of stress. I've taken to making lists of what bugs me in each room so as to free up that mental space.
Don't put that fire out.
