Using the Feng Shui principles, I can help you organize your space using the 9 section of the BAGUA - wealth, reputation, relationships, family, health, creativity, knowledge, career and compassion.  Remember clutter will clog up your home and will not allow the energy to flow and bring you the good fortune in your life.

2 main elements:

Wind: Moves chi (life force)
Water: Retains / cultivates

When in a room or space and feels good, can breathe, means chi is flowing.
Perform space clearing to stop negative energy
Use aromatherapy oils, potpourri, smudge dried sage or rosemary
Use incense/smoke to purify
Clapping in a room is positive energy

Design of Home
Chinese believe homes that are level, square or rectangle shapes are good.
Ponds and steams are positive
Landscape so path is curved (straight lines are like daggers)
Obstacles at entry are omens
Front entry should be open ands airy, feel safe.
Slanted ceilings cause headaches when sleep under them
Clean lines open spaces allow chi to flow
BAGUA consists of earth, metal, fire water, wood.
 
bulletPHOTOS
bulletMEMORABILIA
bulletCOLLECTIONS
 Organize your pictures with photo albums and/or photo boxes.  Creatively display your wonderful collections so you can enjoy them more

I understand the mentality of a collector.  It is a very long and lonely profession unless you spouse understands it.  Collecting is a compulsion.  A collector has no sense of reality, of money, of time - just one focus.  An addiction is an emotional thing.  I will help you display the collection so you can enjoy them more since you spent so much time gathering the items.

What is old?  I will help you determine if the item should be tossed, kept or sold.  I can list the item for you on EBay and/or Craig's List after I take pictures of the item

 
Antique More than 100 years old.  Usually valuable if in excellent condition.  The condition determines the value
 
Vintage Old, but not old enough to be called antique.  Less than 100 years old
 
Collectible Prized by fanciers of that item
 
Souvenir Items brought back from places where you don't live
 
Mementos Items that only have significance to the owner or herself usually passed down by an older or deceased relative or friend

 
bulletMAINTENANCE
   Periodic maintenance of the systems I create for you is an integral facet of the Organized-Your-Life method. I believe that in order to provide you with the organizational tools that will last you a lifetime, regular to semi-regular check-ups, evaluating the effectiveness of the systems created, and making any necessary adjustments, are key. Your life and needs change, and I want the systems to change and grow with you. As with every other step of my process, I work closely with you to create a customized maintenance plan that is tailored perfectly to meet your needs and resources.
