Decorating with Funky Shui

The antidote to unhappiness-Decorating with Funky Shui. This is a jewel of a book, as beautiful as it is funny. I love all the tongue in cheek tips. For your bedroom: "A single white rose bud in a glass vase represents chastity--so you don't have to." It's a humorous look at making your house a home that really represents who you are and how you like to live. Since reading it I've taken out several of my collections that were under the bed and in the closet (like Kitty & Jennifer recommend) and displayed them as beautiful objets d'art in my home. I'm feeling better already--and I bet I'll be happier this year just because I can find stuff. If you know a friend who needs more fun and less work or has clutter instead of collections (don't we all) buy this book for them today. Highly recommended!

Heavily invested in fun

I loved this book! It is well written, fun and funny to read. I was happy to have suggestions for what to do with my extensive "lady bug" collectibles. Now I have them prominently displayed in a variety of areas throughout the house. I love the idea of not following traditional decorating rules. The pictures were great - colorful and creative! I especially enjoyed the "have a nice day" photos. The cookie jar reminded me of the exact one from my Mother's kitchen. Keep writing ladies!

I'm no Martha, but...

This is a delightful display of humor, creativity and full-tilt encouragement to love your life and embrace your own style. If you are decorating-challenged (that would be me), or if you are looking for fun and inspiration to complement your talents, or if you want an eye-catching, smile producing coffee table book - Funky Shui is great!

Funky Shui

This has to be of the hippest, most fun-to-read book I've seen on decorating. The author sisters have given me inspiration and the freedom to make good use of all the marvelous collections, silly memorabilia and unique treasures that I have tucked away in boxes. With page after page of great photos, all of which brought a smile to my face, I have plenty of guidance as to how to "funky shui" my home. This is my new favorite gift book -- I've given 5 copies to share funky shui with my friends and they love it. Who wouldn't?!!!

Too Funny

I know zero about decorating, but I can surely appreciate great, hystericaly funny writing. The book is kinda like Steve Martin and Martha Stewart on really good drugs. Not sure I'll actually go with a Pez dispenser motif for my house, but if I ever need a genuine belly laugh, I'll just open this book to any page. Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil have mastered the most difficult discipline in authorworld...writing funny. Give yourself a laugh break and buy this book. It's a treasure.
