Back in the Saddle + Living Room Feng Shui

Google just released an iPhone app, so I think it's about time to hop back in the saddle and do some house bloggin'.

Since I installed my projector so the screen was at the end of the room, my living-room has barely been used. The couch was arranged with it's back to the dining-room/kitchen and as a result the only time ppl would feel comfortable sitting on it was when everyone was in that area. I wanted the projector that way so that it could be seen from throughout the house and so the speakers would cover the whole floor in sound... But ultimately, it just wasn't a great arrangement from a Feng Shui perspective.

Recently I had an epiphany: the screen didn't have to be parallel with one of the walls! Why not put it at an angle and then rotate the couch so it's back was facing the wall?

Doing this has really opened up the room and made it more inviting. In the last couple weeks alone, we've hung out in the livingroom more time than we have in the last couple years! It's great, an makes tons of room for the new XBox360 Kinect I got :P
