I cannot say enough about this book. Before, reading this book, I was kind of confused about Feng Shui. But the way Stasney describes it, I was not intimidated or overwhelmed.The book just makes commonsense. This summer I redecorated my long-neglected home using Stasney's book. I did the "Ba Gua" when I painted the rooms. My home looks and feels so much better. I have had friends come and exclaim at the difference. There is still more stuff I want to do, add, buy for my home. (You know you never finish decorating!) But thanks to Stasney's beautifully written and photographed book, I am on the right path. I highly recommend it!!!

Picture books are good for me when it comes to 'how to' do something material. And this book is great for feng shui beginners who want to skip directly to the decorating. Highly recommend it.
