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…

Gotta organize. Gotta get rid of stuff. Gotta make the time to clear my pantry, garage, basement, paperwork. Stuff. Things. Clutter. And more clutter.Does this scenario sound familiar to you? I’ve been working with many clients recently who tell me that they are drowning in their stuff. They can’t seem to get ahead. Piles get bigger, to-do lists get…

Time for Some Bright Ideas

BySusan Chan July 9, 2014

On a recent visit to The Container Store (yup Feng Shui consultants need to organize their stuff too), one of the employees struck up a pleasant conversation. I’ve changed her name to Linda for storytelling purposes. I encourage you to read the post to the end to find out the importance of cultivating your personal knowledge today. Me:…

Seeing With Your Feng Shui Eyes

BySusan Chan June 25, 2014

I’ll admit, I’m one of them. I am addicted to my mobile device. I mean, they do so much now – play great music, remind you to do things and even find that awesome little coffee shop just around the corner. Information can be as addictive as sugar. I feel like I’m constantly checking email or my schedule…

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…

Finding Your Nest, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan June 4, 2014

New York is a city of movers and shakers. Especially this time of year. It seems like everyone is either dreaming of moving, actively looking for a new home or just changed residences. That’s alot of chi movement. In Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of balance or yin/yang is of utmost importance. We don’t want anything to be…

Enter Here

BySusan Chan May 14, 2014

I’ve always loved doors – colorful doors, quirky doors, classic doors. It doesn’t matter. Doors have a big significance in Feng Shui. Your front door is where energy enters your space (ideally) and where potential opportunities come in. It is also said that the doors of the home represent the mouths of the individuals who…
