Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of organizing a space to create a harmonious living environment.  To be quite honest with you, it is not a service I often mention.  Reason being:  of those who have shown interest in the practice, I have met an equal number of skeptics. 

Regardless of whether or not you are a believer, principles such as harmony, variety, balance, and awareness to the flow of energy thread Feng Shui into what I consider simply good design.   

Potential candidates for Feng Shui include those who:

• have read/watched “The Secret”;
• enjoy authors such as Napoleon Hill or Paulo Coelho;
• believe in abundance, recognize energy, or have studied Tai Chi; and
• are looking for a catalyst for change.

From the interested individual to the hard-core enthusiasts, Lavender & Lotus Interior Design would love to be part of your next project.

Where do I begin?  Just the thought of writing this post has my mind racing with excitement!!!  That, or perhaps I’ve had too much coffee.  Either way, Target is a fantastic resource for just about everything.  Rather than walking you through, aisle by aisle, I will do my best to focus on that which is most relevant.

The images below reflect a lot of my own personal style.  Aren’t they fabulous?!  If you happen to disagree, don’t count them out alltogether.  Between their retail stores and online, Target has a huge selection of bedding, lighting, window treatments, home decor, tableware, and the list goes on…

Success!  The faux brick wall in the office of Main Street Concord looks sensational!  Sincere thanks to Sherry Burnett (Burnett Designs) for her creative talent and hard work. 

It’s official:  the project for Main Street Concord, Inc. is underway!   Sherry Burnett and I have been working to create a faux brick wall in each room of the Main Street office.   Below are a few images of our progress so far.

   First room – Tape, tape, and more tape…

Sherry working her magic on the first room.

 As you can see, I was a little loopy by the second room 

 The response so far has been fantastic.  More images are on their way – stay tuned!

During the month of October I was a very busy bee developing a design proposal for the office of Main Street Concord, Inc.  This non-profit group, responsible for maintaining a healthy downtown community, had extended an invitation to local designers to offer a solution for their own office in need of a fresh start. 

To make a long story short, a well established design firm and myself each presented our suggestions for this project.  After careful consideration by numerous committees, the vote overwhelmingly fell in my favor!  What a wonderfully exciting opportunity   

One feature of my design is to have the exterior walls painted to resemble a brick facade (quite fitting for Main Street Concord, huh?)  I am delighted to say that Sherry Burnett of Burnett Designs will be facilitating this element of my design.  She is a remarkable artist, to say the least.  Sherry is available through her website www.sherryburnett.net.

Stay tuned for updates on the project’s progress – Cheers!
