I'm back. I want a chandelier over the bed, but again, Mr. What-if-it-Falls-on-My-Head has nixed the idea....for now. And I don't think his head would be in the way. Has anyone ever really heard of a chandelier falling down? To appease me, he volunteered to put one up in my closet and I like that idea too!
Perhaps Mr. What-if-it-Falls-on-My-Head is secretly practicing feng shui.
About.com says, "Nothing heavy, nothing hanging, please do not hang wind chimes and bells above your head, this is bad feng shui. Anything heavier than a piece of fabric above your bed will create oppressive/heavy energy which will, sooner or later, manifest in your daily life." (So that tapestry would be OK.)
Other feng shui bedroom edicts include:
- All doors in the room should be closed while you sleep, including closets.
- Your bed should not be positioned directly opposite the door (tell that to the interior decorators of America).
- A mirror facing your bed is automatic bad juju. Mirrored closet doors are trouble-trouble-trouble.
- Never place your bed under a sloped ceiling because there will be pressure on you while you sleep.
- Never have any sharp corners facing your bed, even from nightstands (get round ones).
- A window behind your headboard weakens your personal energy.
- And for heaven's sake, keep the door to that master bath closed. And make sure Mr. What-If closes the lid on the toilet or your money is being flushed down there while you sleep!

I've broken most of those silly "rules" - and after reading the list I plan on opening every door in our bedroom and the toilet lid too of course - hoping I will have $1 or so left for a newspaper tomorrow morning....now where did I put my whittling knife so that I can sharpen the edges of the nightstands.
