Are all of those Energy Star labels and contractor estimates making you wish that there was a different way to handle home improvement?  There might be.  You’ll have to reach way back into ancient Chinese history to find it, however.

The Chinese created Feng Shui.  Feng Shui involves managing the flow of positive energies to enhance the quality of life for the practitioner.  That’s done within the context of home design and furniture layout, as you attempt to make your home more inviting to positive forces.

Feng Shui is one form of home improvement that doesn’t require a hammer or nails.  It’s all about positioning and making the right choices in terms of light, furnishings and décor.

Does Feng Shui actually work?  The cynics will dismiss it as silliness.  Practitioners will swear by it.  If it’s the kind of thing that you find interesting, you might want to consider it as part of your home improvement plans.
