Now that the holidays have passed us, here are some
ways to keep your table top festive throughout the year.
- Use a solid table runner or placemats to add color
and complement your dinnerware.
- Use old jewelry, holiday ornaments or decorative
trinkets from holiday gifts to make napkin rings.
- Accent your favorite dinnerware with a vibrant color
or a trendy theme.
- Use a centerpiece that may function throughout
the year in addition to creating an element of
design.
- For a personal touch use monogrammed or hand-
painted accents for table settings.
- Add some sparkle with dazzling drink ware.
- Bring objects from other rooms to create a
conversation piece or that serve a function for your
table setting.

| Feng Shui Tip of The Month |
|
|
Feng Shui your love life!
- Invite love into your life by clearing away clutter or
obstacles from the entrance to your bedroom.
- Put a live plant in your room to represent growth
and life. For extra luck in love get a plant with pink or
red flowers.
- Dust off your lampshades to allow light's energy to
brighten your love life.
- Toss out old grudges by cleaning under your
bed.
- Avoid confusion by keeping your night stand clutter
free.
- To allow love to come in, clean your bedroom
windows to allow positive energy into your life.
- Replace burnt out light bulbs which represent
things that are not working out in your life.
- Attract new love by hanging a wooden chime in
your window. Glass chimes will improve
communication with a partner you already have.
- Keep flowers fresh, withering flowers symbolize
withering to death.
- Use bedsheets in the colors of passion and
affection, red & pink, to stimulate your love life.
