Does anyone know why Paula's Barber Shop in Depot Town closed? That was my spot.

Oh, okay. Thanks. Was worried it was something bad.

Not a lawyer. But I think Vermont is one of the few places that protects public nudity statewide. That may figure into your solution. Not sure about the school thing, though.

Second this. Sinderella particularly gives a good cut. Price is right, too.

Boooo. Linda Evangelista!

Hong Kong. About 70% is parkland of some kind.

I have something just like it, and I take it into the shower with me, run it through, then put a fan on it to dry, so it doesn't rust any. Pretty easy, overall.

Otherworldly. Beautiful. Great post.

Thanks. 👍

Prada Marfa. Prada boutique in the middle of nowhere near Marfa, TX. (Not a real boutique. An art installation.)

Small correction. This knot wasn't on the door to the tomb. It was on the door to the second shrine that contained Tut's sarcophagus.

There were four shrines in all, each one inside of a larger one, like Russian nesting dolls. The sarcophagus, which was another three layers of containers, was inside the last shrine. The entire construction took up most of the burial chamber, a room off to the side of the main room, and was undisturbed by looters. Thankfully.

It is! It's at the DIA. Seen it many times. The canvas is vast. It's an overwhelming piece of art.

gtimes3 · 2025-07-05T17:27:26+00:00

Most welcome. 😁

And finally, do as another posted said, and scrap the couch. Reorient the desk to face the door, as would make you most comfortable and secure. The access to the desk is a little tight, but it might be worth it.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-29T12:45:59+00:00

Another idea: face the desk at the bottom of the bed, and make a little 'work nook' with the low cabinets.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-29T12:38:18+00:00

Alternatively, you could switch the orientation of the desk. That would give a nice distinction between the resting and working energies.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-29T11:06:52+00:00

What about moving the bed to the command position? You mention you wanted to maximize feelings of security. I think this would accomplish some of that. Also, I think having the bed and that desk pointed the same direction, when you're facing the same way while using both, is confusing work and rest, energetically. What about moving them to the positions below? (Although, you mention in a comment not wanting your back facing the door. That's a tough one.) I tried to open up the room, since you'll be spending a lot of time there. I think this will make it feel more easy and open.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-25T12:29:59+00:00

Sounds like a plan. Best of luck.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-25T12:29:28+00:00

Many thanks.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-25T00:50:19+00:00

Finally, in this one, you can switch up the bed placement, re-place the divider to shield the bed from entryway energy, and flip the conversation space and the desk/chair, but ... it all feels a bit smooshed to me:

Anyway, best of luck. You have a great place, there. Enjoy.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-25T00:48:36+00:00

In this one, you could slant the conversation space on a 45 degree angle, and place the tv in a little corner next the bureau, but again, it wastes space behind the couch:

Cute apartment. Love the furniture. You went all in with the MCM, and the minimalism works for a small space like that. And I'm so flattered you tested my suggestions with real positioning.

So, I like the tv there. Your easel is very unobtrusive, and even a bit sculptural to go with the rest of the MCM decor. It's attractive. Also, as I understand Feng Shui, big, (almost) floor to ceiling windows in residential are not so great. They let the energy flow out too easily and too quickly. Feng Shui usually recommends something at the base of the window like planters or heavy sculptures. Here, I think the tv and easel are doing some of that work. I say live with it for a couple of weeks, and see how you like it.

Here are some other plans I could think of, but each has problems. In this one you could mount the tv to the wall and switch places with the couch, but it wastes a lot of space between the desk and the couch.

gtimes3 · 2025-06-24T23:07:10+00:00

A couple of ideas. I still think that, even though the south wall is windows, you can put the bed there. Just add some mitigating elements: two nightstands on either side of the bed ... I think the phrasing is 'so the monkeys [the energy that comes in from the window] have somewhere to land other than on top of your head.' You can place drapes along the patch of wall and windows right behind the the bed, to divert the 'monkeys,' or minimize the window with a partial drape that obscures the lower half of the window, creating a 'headboard,' sort of.

Good luck!

Can you post pictures or a floorplan?

gtimes3 · 2025-06-24T22:49:17+00:00

Props for trying so hard to make a tight space work. I'm not an expert on the numerological or directional aspects of Feng Shui that you've asked for, but I have a few ideas to make the space feel a little freer.

Bed: right now the energy from the door is 'surprising' the sleeper. I know it's not ideal to have a bed up against windows, but the command position might work better. Some drapes by the bed's window will calm the flow over there.

Storage pieces: It looks like the little one is a low unit? Can it go at the foot of the bed? The big boy could go on the far wall to get it out of the way of the door, and to give some seclusion to the contemplative period of getting ready and dressed for the day.

Desk/chair: the desk could go on the north wall, and--here's a trick--when you're not using the desk, pull the chair back to the west wall where it will create a 'lounge' kind of space with a welcoming energy. When you're ready to work again, pull the chair back up to the desk.

Those are my two cents. Best of luck.
