Clean, Neat, and Clutter-Free
This book tells how to make your house perfect! By getting rid of clutter and rearranging and reorganizing the things you do have, and having the right colors, etc. If we followed these guidelines, our homes would be neat and perfect!
Boring, uninspiring...
I had great hopes for this book and it is indeed, easy to read, as another reviewer stated. But the ideas are quite uninspiring, and while the concept of feng shui are described, I was not inspired by them. I don't quite see the logic of how buring incense would help me deal with my clutter.
This is a good book to get ideas on feng shui but to really deal with the clutter in your homes, offices and lives, you should look elsewhere.
It is what it is, where it is
I confess: I am a person of clutter. I am not a feng shui* devotee, indeed, this book was my introduction. For me, Jeff Campbell's 'Clutter Control : Putting Your Home on a Diet' is still The Best, but this book has its moments, and is a good refresher for New Year's resolutioners. Sorry, Shui sisters. I haven't got time, money or inclination to build a Bagua octagon of Chez Tundra - so my "missing gua" must remain AWOL. The kitchen is where the kitchen is - not to be confused with my Home Office or the bath. Still, the remaining chapters of Skye's Shui offer inspiration and reinforcement for ever-ongoing vigilance against the accumulation of clutter. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer
* For those as new to the Chinese art of Feng Shui as I, (I live up here in the Tundra,) the author explains: "literally translated, feng shui means wind and water. Wind and water, as we know, can be harnessed to produce energy. Feng shui also allows us to control and direct natural forces and utilize their energy. The principle force fend shui considers the ch'i (pronounced chee), the life-giving energy of the universe that flows through everything - our homes, the Earth, our bodies." So, the convergence for this reviewer is inspiration to shovel more stuff out the door!
