With the newest fashions of the year arriving at

latest in furniture design.
At the beginning of April, I attended
a window treatment conference in Washington D.C.
Be sure to check out future newsletters to hear about
what I found to be the hottest furniture and window

| Headboards 101 |
|
|
Headboards are a great way to add color, design,
function and comfort to your room. Here are a few
popular trends that provide a lot of style.
- Use upholstered panels mounted on the wall to
provide a stylish look and comfortable place to rest.
- Extend headboards past the width of the bed to
accommodate nightstands.
- Use a decorative wall hanging or screen as your
headboard.
- Platform beds give a chic look to any
bedroom.
- Another well-loved, Japanese-inspired style is
stacked pillows on a bed dressed with
sheets or a light comforter and decorative throw folded
across the bottom. "Very hotel and perfect for warmer
months!"

| Feng Shui Tip of The Month |
|
|
Feng Shui for your bedroom
- When positioning your bed, the most important
determining factor in placement is the relation of the
bed to the bedroom door. Your bed should be as far
from the bedroom door as possible. This provides a
sense of control over your space and your life.
- While lying in bed you should always be able to
view out your door and to see who is coming in,
however, the bed should never be in direct line with
the bedroom door, where the powerful flow of chi
could create disease along the midline of the body.
- Space in front of your bed allows more room for
positive chi and growth in your life. Placing the foot of
the bed against a wall may cause ankle and career
problems. Placing the side of your bed directly against
a wall can stifle flexibility in your life.
