The ABCs of a Child’s Bedroom

BySusan Chan September 14, 2016

Sometimes, my brain just..shuts off. I love writing on my blog and sharing Feng Shui knowledge with you, but I sometimes don’t have the brain cells to write (grammatical case in point here). A recent project had me delivering a certain idea just through images. I LOVED this project. It was so fun, it made my…

Feeling Like a Scatterbrain?

BySusan Chan May 10, 2016

Oh boy what a week I had last week. Besides almost every important planet being in retrograde (Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto), it seems like all my projects either sped up or came to a screeching halt last week. Things that usually worked like a charm like Google decided to go haywire. Yes, Google!…

Change Your Life

BySusan Chan September 9, 2015

Summers are awesome but let me tell you, I’ve been a bit resentful that I have not had the summer that I have wanted. Most people I know have been going to the beach, traipsing off to awesome vacation destinations or just taking time to enjoy the beautiful weather. Well, I have been just working.I…

Dude, where’s the Sofa?

BySusan Chan September 3, 2014

I live in New York City. Aside from Japan where I hear people get help squashing into subway cars and slumber in sleep pods, I think we may be the city with the least amount of square footage per person. Due to this space challenge, many feel that they would like to follow my suggestions of putting their desk or…

Activating your Career Path

BySusan Chan August 27, 2014

There are no jobs out there. Nobody is hiring. The economy is really bad. I feel sorry for recent graduates or anyone looking for a job. I’m lucky to have the job I have, so why would I look anywhere else? Here’s what I say to all of this chatter: Bull-crap. (sorry for my French,…

Moving out of a Space, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan June 11, 2014

Congratulations! All that hard work has paid off. You found your new space. Time to create that To-Do List – pack boxes, change your address, order a new sofa. But hold on a sec! Before you do any of that, you want to think about what you need to do in your existing space before you close…

If you are looking to furnish your home with some great items, look no further. French & Scouser is where it’s at. An electric mix of modern and reclaimed vintage, F&S will make your space feel instantly hip and chic. The store’s launch party was last week and I was impressed because the soirée reflected…

Create Abundance in your Workspace

BySusan Chan November 13, 2012

I was recently featured on the Women’s Luxury Guild’s blog that debuts this month. The article explains the basics of Feng Shui and the concept of Luxury. In the interview, I explained how to integrate both concepts and more importantly, revealed how to use this knowledge and apply it to your workspace. Read the full article…

A Cut Above the Rest

BySusan Chan April 2, 2012

Beautiful isn’t it? If you look very closely though, you’ll see that it’s not as flat as you thought it was…… Whoa. That’s what I said when I saw (and figured out) what exactly was Lisa Rodden’s works of art. Delicate little treasures that are not only gorgeous but spiritually moving and emotionally imbued. Her…

Do you C Wonder?

BySusan Chan November 18, 2011

I could say that for my profession, it’s important that I venture out for inspiration. I admit though that as a creative entrepreneur, I just can’t help seeking out new ideas and New York City is the mecca for that. Walking around SoHo the other day, I came across a store that I read about…
