Waves of Beauty

BySusan Chan March 9, 2011

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…

Vandaag: a northern breath of fresh air

BySusan Chan February 24, 2011

Great sign and an exterior you can’t miss Sleek interior at Vandaag photos: vandaagnyc.com Needing to warm up with a cup o’ joe, we popped into a new venue (for us) in the East Village. The place was called Vandaag. Maybe we were lured in by the sign outside that promised “Bierrestaurant.” Or maybe it was the…

BySusan Chan February 24, 2011

I have some exciting news! I was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal last week for a Feng Shui Staging job I completed in Spanish Harlem. It was alot of fun and Craig Karmin the WSJ journalist and Hilke Schellmann the WSJ videographer were wonderful in capturing the essence of Feng Shui principles. Watch my TV debut, Using Feng Shui…

Moving in the Right Direction

I love Lonnymag and I love this dressing room! all photos: lonnymag.com I had a wonderfully long Thanksgiving weekend filled with food, friends and family.

A Rip-Roaring Year!

BySusan Chan February 13, 2010

A beautiful vision of the White Tiger Folks, we are just hours away from Chinese New Year. Isn’t that exciting? I am finishing up my last chores – vacuuming, cooking, putting out my fresh flowers. And later I’ll be meeting some colleagues for some Chinese New Year rituals that help welcome in the new year….

A Ray of Sunshine

BySusan Chan January 28, 2010

A bright giveaway by Robin’s Egg Pink On this gloomy, rainy, slushy, snowy (where did that come from weatherman?) day, I need some cheering up and thought you might too. Call it a yang infusion if you will. So I thought it appropriate to share a recent find – The Bright Side Project. Some healthy…

Child’s Play

BySusan Chan January 14, 2010

Junior’s peaceful sanctuary I ♥ this child’s bedroom! Reflex would probably have most people jamming the bed into the little alcove area so that it fits exactly in that space. But I love how they didn’t and how it appears spacious due to the design and layout. That feeling of spaciousness is not too shabby…

Maybe I promised you an Herb Garden
