Well, in my last post I mentioned Feng Shui-ing the heck out of Lily's room..... well I did :-)!!
Her bedroom falls in the Children/Creativity area of our home. Which makes it a metal area and we didn't want to go too metal since she is a wood child, so we decided for balance! The colors for this area are the pastel spectrum of colors so here is what we did.
We painted two of the walls a blue (her favorite color) which may be a little earthy, but earth creates metal. On the wall that we left white, I painted dots (circles=metal) the colors that are in her comforter. We added striped drapes (vertical stripes = wood). We painted the wall that falls in the journey area of her room black and made it a chalk board. (black=water) This will encourage her to notice all of the possibilities surrounding her. And I put a "Lily's get to do list" at the top of the chalk board wall and listed the things that she gets to do...
such as:
- Be happy
- See the beauty in everything
- Love yourself and others
- Have fun and feel good
That is all that she needs to do and I wanted her to remember what was important!
To represent the fire element I bought her a picture of this big beautiful flower (fire) which has a frog on it. (she loves frogs!) So I represented all of the elements but left a lot of metal. I love the idea of the chalk board because it encourages her to be playful and creative, and the room itself inspired quite a bit of creativity from me!
Well, after a few weeks of living in the new room I took Lily in for her check-up... and held my breath! Amazingly everything came back perfect!! We will continue to check on her, but with all we are doing we are expecting nothing but perfect health. That feels better!
