The proper layout of the bathroom floor in Feng Shui is achieved only with the help of a Feng Shui bagua which is a diagram that you can use in order to create the best bathroom with Feng Shui principles in mind. To use this bagua diagram you need to find a bathroom floor to which Feng Shui principles are applied and in the process you will also need to identify the nine separate areas of the entire bathroom floor. The Bagua plan helps you learn how to identify certain areas of the bathroom floor based on Feng Shui principles so as to help you achieve prosperity in life.
Eight Areas
In Chinese, the term ‘bagua’ relates to eight areas or “ba = eight” and “gua = areas”. Each of these eight sections of the bathroom floor in Feng Shui relates to different areas in your life and each such section is termed a ‘gua’ on the bagua map. There is also a ninth gua that is the center as related to the other eight guas. In order to create the best bathroom floor based on Feng Shui principles you need to make best use of the Bagua map and do so according to various energy centers in the eight different guas.
The Feng Shui bagua is the most important tool in Feng Shui as it does more than help you create the right bathroom floor with Feng Shui principles in mind but it also helps you learn the inter-relationship between the environment and different aspects of your life. These eight guas represent for example Wealth, Love, Reputation, and Family And Health As Well Travel And Career And Wisdom And Also Children As Well As Creativity.
The center of the bathroom floor in Feng Shui is represented by earth and the color yellow. To one side of the center there is Wealth and Family and Knowledge while on the opposite side there are Relationships, Children and Creativity and also Helpful People. At the top of the center there is Fame while at the bottom there is Career.
Having understood the bagua map you can then learn to accentuate areas of the bathroom floor based on Feng Shui principles so that positive energy flows and this will then help increase your wealth and happiness.
Of course, it is important to realize that Feng Shui is not a magic wand that will immediately bring wealth and prosperity into your life. It is also not a religion; yet it still lures numerous people into adhering to its principals. With a history that goes back more than six thousand years it is certainly about vigilance and combinations of science, math and geology as well as liberal doses of intuition – all of which helps balance life’s energies in a bid to make you happier and a lot more prosperous.

Home Decorating for Christmas 2009 from Christmasworld Design
What is the best 2009 Christmas decor trends to your ideas choice? Did Christmas decorating have been installed into your home year after year? If you want to have the new ideas for decorating your house at Christmas, this is general theme from Christmasworld for Christmas Decor Trends 2009-2010. It is declined in 4 decorating trend ideas; Airy for Spring season, Sweet for Summer season, Comfort for Autumn season and Obsession for Winter season. So feel free to be inspired home decorating ideas theme to decorate at Christmas, New Year’s Day and also Thanksgiving.
Airy is characterized by lightness and transparency. It feels romantic in a modern way. Soft pastel colours, blurred motifs and fluid structures lure the observer into a fairy like fantasy world. Plenty of glass vases, baubles and crystal are a must. The color parameters are created by chalky pastels ranging from cream to pink and pale grey, all combined with lots of white. Transparent, translucent materials are as light as the colors.
Comfort is an evolution of the birch bark, the deer and the natural theme that was popular on the last two years. Comfort plays with contrasts in textures, materials and styles. Make sure to include pieces made with natural materials. Feel free to oppose modern style objects with driftwood. A must are the touches of red or orange to enliven the decor. Comfort is the only trend that is sure to appeal to both genders. I guess that it will be theme used by Boyd Ferguson (re: modern rustic kitchen).
This is by far the most glamourous decor for Christmas. I see Obsession as the next wave of the Hollywood Glamour theme. You mix metallic colors. Quartz pink and mauve lighten up mahogany, aubergine, violet and gold. I am impress with the lilac against the silver and gold. It might be something I try this year. You will need to look for curved lines, ornate objects, luxurious materials and fabrics like velvet and silk to reproduce the Obsession look.
Sweet is the most feminine decor. It is unusual to see pink floral patterns at Christmas. Do not be afraid to use a multicolor palette. This decor feels fresh and girly with a hint of kitsch. The milky palette extends from sand, aqua and turquoise to violet, lime and slate grey. Materials include plastic, varnish and porcelain, tulle and satin ribbons. Surface are over-sugared, candied and glazed. For me, this decor screams more bridal showers and tea parties than Christmas. For that reason, I am not sure about it as a great Christmas theme. On the other end, you will probably reuse most of decorative elements the rest of the year.
Home Security Systems Design
Home security system companies today offer services designed to help ensure that those who live alone can be protected in the case of an accident. As people age the likelihood of a slip-and-fall accident increases greatly, and the likelihood that such an accident will result in serious injury increases significantly as well. Additionally, aging also leads to an increased likelihood of a heart attack, particularly among older men. Home security companies have responded to these health issues by developing personal monitoring devices. Worn discreetly on one's wrist or neck, these devices allow people to simply push a button in the case of any accident.
When the button is pushed, the security company will immediately call the owner and attempt to discern the severity of the situation. If the situation is severe or if the owner does not answer the call, the home security company will immediately notify the paramedics, who are then able to respond extremely swiftly. Thus with options such as the personal monitoring device, today's home security system packages provide the perfect aid to help ensure the safety of your aging loved one, without in any way infringing upon their independence or autonomy. With numerous devices, such as visual and audio alarms and video monitoring surveillance systems, home security system packages also help to ensure that your aging loved ones will be safe and secure, as outsiders will not be enabled to take advantage of the physical effects of the aging process.
Bathroom remodeling Design
Remodeling a bathroom is not the same as a bedroom. In the case of the latter, one may move a cupboard here or push back a wall there without much strain. With bathrooms one is not dealing with visible elements but with underlying structure of plumbing and electrical system.The layout changes in a bathroom such as switching the toilet or the shower could cost a fortune. These have to be weighed and considered carefully before embarking on the job. A general timetable for bathroom remodeling should come in handy if one is planning in terms of structuralchanges and surface alterations.
Plumbing drives up bathroom remodeling costs. The issue of providing hot water to the new sink location is another issue. The next issue is moving the toilet drain/vent system and its wastewater system.
The chances of moisture levels in a bathroom could be quite high. One may have to replace drywall. In most bathrooms, special moisture resistant drywall commonly known as 'green board' is used. In wet areas such as showers and baths, it is preferable to use moisture-proof backer board. But if wall stud and joists are rusted, they either need to be sistered or completely replaced.
The heart of the bathroom is its shower, tub or a combination of the two. Many think of remodeling a bathroom only for this purpose. In case of a few cracks in the tub, it would be possible to self-repair with acrylic or fiberglass which is quite economical. If the case is beyond a repair or refinishing, it is possible to install a bathtub liner, a sort of overcoat for the icky tub. The only other option would be to build a tiled shower if other methods are ineffective.
Some prefer installation of a pre fabricated acrylic or fiberglass shower tub which needs no on-site building as these units are fabricated in the factory. While buying them ensure that one does not buy a unit too big to fit through the doorways.
Bathroom flooring options should be carefully dealt with as moisture is the main culprit here. Ceramic tiles are perennial favorites but laminated flooring and engineered flooring are also good enough. Hardwood flooring does not tolerate moisture well and these need to be avoided. Porcelain tile or stone tiles have replaced lame linoleum and glazed tiles of yesteryears. Glass tile is also gaining in popularity.
