Episode 354: Creating a Cozy Space with Feng Shui

·29 min·1 clip

Natural fibers get a careful look because the body spends hopefully eight hours, about a third of life, resting in that bedding. Their rule is practical: choose the best quality you can afford. One good adjustment can change the feel of a whole area. The close is familiar too, with Monday episodes, reviews, the mailing list, and Mindful Design courses folded into the same calm teaching pace.
