Book Reviews of Feng Shui Chic: Stylish Designs for Harmonious Living
Book Review: Feng Shui Chic really hits home!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sharon Stasney gives western culture a book that fits our aesthetics and our cultural needs. This book takes the mystery and confusion out of Feng Shui and allows readers to really get down to making some changes in their life. Many of the feng shui books I have read have left me in a perpetual thinking loop-meaning no action taken, no change. Feng Shui Chic is well organized in an understandable, practical format. The exercises are very helpful and highlight the versatility of feng shui as a healing tool. The room by room guide is essential for being able to diagnose one's own home.
As a student and practioner of Feng Shui, I know how powerful a tool it can be, but very few books offer ideas that are as aesthetically pleasing, versatile and practical as Sharon's. The other very impressive part of the book is that it truly gives the reader gentle and practical ways to look closer at the connection of the physical space to the whole person and see how these two things are connected and the beautiful energy dance that happens between them.
The color photographs are beautifully done and essential to digesting the information being presented in each of the sections.
I will be giving and recommending this book to everyone I know.

Summary of Feng Shui Chic: Stylish Designs for Harmonious Living
Thousands of years old?and today?s hottest interior design trend. ?Gives suggestions for balance and harmony.??Publisher?s Weekly. ?Learn how to use color, texture and shape to boost your energy, calm your spirit and simply create a stunning home that will feel as good as it looks.? ?Timber Homes Illustrated.
God knows--uh, sorry--Buddha knows that this book was released during the feng shui design-fad glut. But in a workbook-handy softcover and at a price that won't throw off your chi, it's a fun, interesting, and erudite hands-on guide to designing your living space along the principles of "fung shway"--that ages-old Chinese practice of directing invisible energy, or "chi" through your home for maximum physical, mental, and spiritual health and balance. Whether this do-it-yourselfer is a pure distillation of feng shui theory and practice or a conveniently Westernized version of them, most of its advice seems to accord with both general good design instinct and common sense. No pretty-but-vague viewbook, Feng Shui Chic breaks it all down with a wealth of nice color shots of home interiors and exteriors robustly explained in captions and call-outs, plus lots of floorplan charts, boxed sections, and checklists for everything from adjusting each room's yin and yang to bringing just the right balance of earth, fire, wood, and water energy into a space. A lot of the interiors lean toward suburban baroque, but you'll still want to live in half of them, especially if, like this reviewer, you live in an apartment so small that all the chi in the world won't make it chi-chi. --Timothy Murphy
