These lovely stairs were designed by APOLLO Architects in their newest building in Kitayama-cho, Fuchu, Tokyo called Ring. The overall look is serene and airy but the staircase makes me a bit nervous. Chi is a very important element in Feng Shui. The energy of a home needs to move smoothly and effortlessly for the occupants…
Sunday tea at the Mondrian. Or their restaurent, Imperial No. Nine to be exact. Almost as nice as a drive to the country. Almost. The main differences are that it’s off the R train and is filled with fashionistas. The menu looked good (we only had beverages and a nibble) and most importantly the setting…
Decluttering. Minimal. Those are the buzz word going around these days especially around resolution times. Feng Shui involves placing furniture and personal belongings so that energy or Chi can move freely and optimally.

While the weather in New York has been a wild roller coaster ride, my balcony has been able to reasonably withstand Mother Nature’s unpredictability. And now I’m rearing up to clean it up – put in teak flooring, replace broken planters, add a bistro table and then…I’ll sit down to relax in my outdoor urban…
There are five boroughs in New York and they all have their distinct styles and character. I happen to live in Queens, the borough that is on the other side the 59th Street Bridge. We get our share of abuse from Manhattan and Brooklynites alike but I feel it’s a really hidden gem of a…
A walking day in New York always reveals some lovely things. I had never seen this beautiful building before and was stopped in my tracks when I saw it. It’s almost as if in the grey downtown landscape, a refreshing wave of water revealed itself. The Synagogue for the Arts is located at 49 White…
