Greetings!
Summertime in Minnesota is so beautiful; the greenery is particularly lush this year. It’s the perfect season to stick around, so I’ll be here working on design projects and my book. The only recent traveling I did was to Milwaukee, where I attended my nephew’s wedding at an event center across from the famous Milwaukee Art Museum which looks like a boat. Check out the cool photo! The “wings” of the museum go down at night. And speaking of my book, there's big news to share—I just signed a contract with my publisher, Llewellyn Worldwide, which is the oldest and largest publisher in the world for mind, body, soul, and metaphysics books. They are already keeping me busy in preparation for publication!

I’ve also been busy with corporate and business-related speaking events. My most recent presentation was Decorating the “Fun” Shui Way, where attendees spent an hour learning simple ways to adjust their living spaces to make positive changes in their lives, like decluttering and Feng Shui design tips. This is why my mantra is Change Your Space, Change Your Life—making specific changes to your living space can have a profoundly positive impact on your life! As a certified Feng Shui consultant, I’ve been helping people and businesses reveal environments rich in comfort, beauty, balance, and harmony for over 30 years. Contact me if you would like to hire me to speak on interior design to your company, organization, or committee.
In fact, many things can make an impact on your living space, even your house number. Yes, you heard that right—it’s all part of House Numerology, and I wrote a blog post explaining the concept, including how you can convert your house number and make impactful changes based on the result.
In closing, I want to mention that I took up painting again recently. I studied with artist Dan Mackerman, who taught me a lot about working with paint. The result is the piece shown below, titled Ocean Mosaic. Abstract painting doesn't come natural to me; I had to loosen up and work on my inner self to let the creation flow out—and it worked! In Feng Shui, adding a water element to a space helps you “go with the flow” and represents deep thinking, reflection, good fortune, and abundance. In the painting, I also added wood and metal elements. The white represents the metal energy, which brings in focus and clarity. The blue and green reflects wood energy, which brings in entrepreneurial energy and growth. This textured oil painting is 30”H x 40”W and is for sale. It’s the perfect art piece for an office that is looking to grow and focus not only on their staff, but on getting the work done well (Or “looking to expand their business by focusing on the work”).
If there are any design needs you have, I’m here to help you create the space of your dreams. Contact me for a consultation, or if you are interested in my painting.
Warmest Regards,
Julie Ann
