Feng Shui Long Island's Blog

If someone with this couple's profession and aspirations on what they would like to create had called me in to assist them in a new construction, I don't believe I could have done a better job then what I found in this beautiful home in Woodbury, Long Island.  They had not, in fact, called anyone in, the couple designed it themselves. 

A bit about these wonderful clients and why they called.  They had bought this home from the original homeowner (who had moved up in the world) and not long after they purchased it, a storm devastated much of the home.  They had a decision whether to renovate everything or just "start over."  In fact, there was so little left of the home, they chose to rebuild it.  This home belongs to a very prominent doctor with a rare specialty in a specific form of surgery.  If you read my previous post about health concerns, I have to mention that he had not yet he mentioned in passing that this surgery helps people to get out of pain.....and he accepts ALL patients, whether or not they have insurance.  But with his wishes to grow, he also needs to increase his own income.  I wondered whether he had built the home (and the land) with Feng Shui principles that he had learned by himself but in fact they both knew very little about Feng Shui.

They said they were away on vacation and discussing some changes they were making to their business and a man who was eating nearby came over.  He said he was a Feng Shui Master and had overheard part of what they wanted to do.  Although they had never heard of Feng Shui, this man explained to them what it is, how it works and how the changes would likely affect their business.  They were both so taken with it, when they came home they decided to have someone come to their home to advise on color choices and furniture they had not as yet purchased.  They only issue they really had was that he was having some issues with a particular person in their business.  And because they wanted to help more people, they wished to open another center for surgery.

Here's what I found, from beginning to end and you can see for yourself how this home supports their wishes and dreams in every area, inside and out.  Another story told in pictures:

One of their beautiful bathrooms.

Part of the living room, open, airy and spacious.  This couple loved letting the "outside in" and had large, beautiful windows throughout the home.

And the other side.  Things to look for in this house, the elements are all adressed.

They are still deciding on artwork and accessories while keeping the home light.

The view of the pool in a wavy shape from their bedroom balcony.  On the right leads to their wealth area which they had built UP on the land. As a matter of fact, both their WEALTH and RELATIONSHIP areas had been built UP and were considerably higher then the rest of the land.

And what was done to address FAME, a key element for this couple.  Here is the extention they had "unknowingly" built in the Fame Area.

Ok, I was about to get their Wealth area but got this little guy, instead :)  Their wealth area was not only built up, it was supported by rocks around the outside of it, supporting it.

Their relationship area, which relates to business as well as personal relationships.  While difficult to see, I felt the rocks were too heavy and suggested that he put a statue of a couple or a small table and two chairs.  Funny, he said he had been thinking of the table because he loves to sit up there, under the shade.  What do they say about "great minds"? :)

Another set of doors leading to the backyard.  While still in the process of decorating, I was able to advise them on furniture and accessories while keeping the "light" feeling in the home.

The Master bedroom.  My clients advised me that they had a metal bed which was being repaired.  Metal beds are not advised in Feng Shui due to electro magnetic energy and I advised them to keep this bed, center and balance it.  This room and other parts of this home are still a work in progress.

Auspicious Feng Shui inside this home and out.  With the suggestions I was able to give them and what they want to accomplish, they will do very, very well; your home supports your business.
