I read a magazine about the fengshui bagua's and now I'm insanely trying to fengshui my house. So far, I have the career, health, travel, wisdom and fame baguas covered, but I need some help with my Love and prosperity. I'd like to incorporate some pink into my office so that my love life will be good, and I am also planning to put something purple in the garage so I can be prosperous.

But...
What is purple that I can put in the garage that doesn't look insane?

Also, my office is in earth/natural tones of dk, light and medium brown. Is there something pink I can put in that room that doesn't look crazy or childish? Paint is out of the question, because I can't seem to get my mind around pink or purple paint. Any ideas about where I can procure some stuff to feng shui my space?

hmmmmmmm, what kind of things are you thinking for your office? Accessories? If so, you could do something in a salmon color, its in the pink family, it could be as small as a mouse pad, a vase, perhaps some file folders, or a flowers in a vase.
Try looking at TJ Maxx, Homegoods, or Ross, they always have goodies.
As far as your garage, do you have a door going into the house from the garage? How about a purple doormat?

How about purple plastic storage bins in the garage and a pink blooming bromeliad in the office?

Kind of off-topic, but OMG, I LOVE Home Goods! Gordman's, too!

I believe Love is the wall facing south, in terms of feng shui,
you can use your imagination or something that represents love to you.

Maybe I'm confused about the baguas. I found some bagua maps that referenced the direction, and some that just included the areas of the house with the front door as a reference. I'm using the latter type of map. The front of my house faces west, actually, but I'm still using that as the career bagua (water/black). ... Okay wait, it actually turns out that my love wall IS facing south! Doh
I LOVE the doormat idea, I totally did not think of that.

Just a wild idea, but you could consider dropping all that superstition and decorate your house in a way that is functional, comfortable, and attractive.
