Dulcedelychee | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 08:49 pm     Anyone know a bit about feng shui? I thought it might be interesting to apply it to the house. I'm looking up websites now to see if there are any interesting insights. I thought about this the other night when I noticed how the door opened and the placements of the beds in the HRD room. I used to have a book that had diagrams of energy flow and why a bed placed in front of a door is bad and weakens energy, but I don't have it anymore and can't remember.. Looking in that room I would feel really uncomfortable in the bed closest to the door. I suspect it would make someone feel weaker than the person sleeping where Dani is. Meanwhile, I can't really find a good site with good information.. anyone know of any? |

Dulcedelychee | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:27 pm     ok here's something I found while browsing around - Bad Feng Shui and the Big Brother TV series it's quite interesting, seems like they are talking about the house in BB1. Is it the same house now? Still interested in bed placement opinions! |
Spygirl | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:27 pm     I would say that the chi sucks for sure. |
Sisalou | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:44 pm     I don't anything about Feng Shui but they are really going to need to burn some sage after these folks are gone. |
Pamy | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:13 am     Moonie..I should have known you were into Feng Shui!! We just seem to have so much in common! I have been Feng-shui-ing our house, it is a major task!! I can't wait to see people's thoughts and ideas on this subject!! /clipart{redhair} |
Twiggyish | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:25 am     I think this is so interesting. |
Secretsmile | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:27 am     Maybe this is off base, but wasn't the decore in the house designed around that in BB2? |
Crazydog | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:33 am     Regarding bed placement... as I understand it, the only thing that is really bad is to have the foot of the bed directly lined up with the door. Something to do with positive energy flowing out of your body through your feet and then out the door. So the beds in the HRD seem OK. The front door and entryway of the house, however, does generate bad feng shui. When you enter a house from the front door it is bad to be immediately confronted with a wall. If however, there is a wall directly in front of the opening but you place a mirror there, then that negates part of the problem. I'm not sure of the exact reasoning. It's probably something to do with evil spirits. I don't believe in the BB house the mirror is directly lined up with the door. There is a little dresser, and the mirror is off to the right. |
Dulci | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 09:34 am     I did my house with Black Hat Feng Shui, it's the easiest to implement. http://www.homepeace.com/sites.htm |
Marigold | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:52 am     It's difficult to analyze the Feng Shui in the house as we don't really know which direction the house is facing (or do we?) Different corners of your house (and rooms) represent different aspects of your life (North: Career, South: Fame). I agree with Crazy Dog that it's never good to have doors open into walls. I don't know if it's FS, but I love the colours of the walls and they have great living room furniture. |
Costacat | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:35 pm     Also, different things mean different things. For example, if you are trying to increase your own personal energy, you do not put your head pointing south (in your bed). Some feng shui says it's good to see a plant when you walk in the front door, some says not. Again, depending on what you need to change in your life. Besides just improving the flow of energy. A lot of what was in that article is still true, however. The rooms are still there, just reconfigured within the room (placement of beds and so on). Also colors have changed, and furniture placement has changed in the living room. |
Mikrsmith | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 08:51 pm     Dulcedelychee, I'm almost positive that the BB house described in that link is the one for the UK series, they have a room for either sex and the I dont think the Diary room is called that over there. |

Chyang | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:45 pm     I am NOT an expert, just have heard and seen a bit growing up, please remember this.(I don't have the time to check out those links now also, this east-coaster has to go to bed some time!) True Feng-Shui is really a lot more complicated than what's fashionable these days. Yes it'd be best if the house sits south and facing north, all doorways and furniture don't "get into the CHI's(not Kiki, but the energy, air...) way", living plants and fish with red heads brings you wealth ... but each house guest's birth sign and their "heart desire" has lots to do also. This house, without knowing the direction it faces or what, just doesn't look "fluent" for the CHI to travel. The HGs are too messy, clutters affects CHI also. And, very importantly, all those mirrors! They are really no nos! Mother always say you have to be careful how the mirror is placed in each room, and here in this house have them all over, overlapping, reflecting each other, I don't know what's wrong, I just know it is bad Feng-Shui. Just sharing what I grew up with, maybe they are more superstitious than Feng-Shui, that's what sibs and I used to say about grandma and ma's needs to move things about anyways, hope it's fun for you. |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 01:58 pm     To PP Frank from Trading Spaces when asked about Feng Shui: "If you live a decent life and act like you oughta, it's not going to make any difference where you place a chair...." |
Alteredartist | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 02:20 pm     Secretsmile: Yes, I too remember that the house for BBII was designed around Feng Shui. |
Tabbyking | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 02:38 pm     well, i always heard that having a bathroom to your left when you enter your front door was tantamount to having your money flushed away. still don't have much money, but i took the hint and went for the creedence clearwater suggestion: 'there's a bathroom on the right'. LOL |
Moondance | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 02:45 pm     Hmmm I thought if the bathroom was near an entrance not necessarily on the left or right... *Moon runs off to go count her money!* |
Tabbyking | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 02:51 pm     moon, i have a dollar in pennies...well, if 'one, two, skip a few, ninety-nine, one-hundred' makes a dollar. |
Moondance | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 03:01 pm     Hey those are my pennies, Mister! Damn I gotta move that toliet! |
Tabbyking | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 03:08 pm     oops! forgot to say i'm a mrs. i'll share the pennies, anyway. |
Moondance | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 03:09 pm     Okay... Missy! |
Pamy | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Yeah the toliet near the entrance thing is true, and we have 2 to the left! There are 'fixes' that you can do to counter balance the bad chi, I am still trying to figure them out. One help is to keep the toliet seats down and drains closed, that helps your money from going down the drain. NEVER put your purse on the floor and you will always have money!! (don't know if it's feng shui) but that one has always rung true for me. I believe it has to do with respecting your money. LOL Ellen about the guy from TS!!
