Indecision and new to Feng Shui

[gines_raja]

Hi everybody,
I am a new one inside the geomancy forum, so I am not even sure that my way of asking questions is the appropriate. Can someone help me ?
Anyway, the reason of this mail is that I don't know how to consider the main room at home. I join a picture of it in the file (gines_room.bmp).
The house entry is above at the street level and there is no door to climb up the stairs. Neither a door when you reach the floor. It is an open space.
Several questions but in fact it is the same problem :
Is there ONE room (with an L shape) or TWO rooms (dining-room and living room) for Feng Shui ?
How must I consider the orientations of the BA GUA in the right configuration for the entire L shape, either it is one or two rooms ?
If I have understood well the Feng Shui of forms (sorry, I am French, my english is not native), the north wall of a room is the one where you can find the door through which you come in. It is easy to use the BA GUA in a square room, with one door. But what about my case ? I think the Qi goes up the stairs form the entry above, and then divides : a part straight to the dining-room, the other part to the right and the living-room. In that case which are the good orientations ?
The door to go out to the balcony is a window as well (you call it a French window ?). The actual North is on the balcony side, and a park with some trees and far-away houses. The entry is on the street, to the actual South.
Could you explain to me how to consider it ?
Thank you for your help.

Dear Gines,
Before, I can assist you to determine the centrepoint of the house, can you go thru the diagram you had drawn:
1. Where does the kitchen end? I cannot see the outline of the kitchen.
2. There seems to be a sketch of `rooms' and a passage leading to the door at the `right' side of the house.
3. Appreciate if you can draw a full picture e.g. an outline of the house as the picture is very unclear and hard to figure out.
Waremst Regards,
Cecil Lee

dear Cecil,
I am sorry that my question was not clear enough. My problem is not quite where is the center of the house, neither where is oriented each of the rooms. I join here some sketches where everyone can see these things, and even the center, that is to be in the circle drawn in the second floor. My big indecision, as I am new in Feng Shui, is really this L-room (or two rooms ?). How have I to consider it ? Where are the eight corners of the Ba-Gua : for the entire L-room, or for separated dining-room and living-room ? What is the best for consider : the real North (compass Feng-Shui), the side of the room (or separated for each room ?) where you enter (intuitive Feng-Shui) ? In that case, what about the door-window : entry or exit of the Qi ?
I am really confused, as you can see. The others parts of the house seem simple to me. Even the first floor, because it is not habited, and the door within the main entry in front of the main door is quite always shut.
The problems like the stairs in the main entry, for an example, are quite classical, and I don't worry about.
Please, and I will feel really better if so, could you give me some advice about how can I manage my reflex ion for this L (or these 2 rooms) ?
I thank you in advance, and hope you will excuse my lack of clarity as either a novice and a foreigner.

Dear Gines,
1. Yes, I have used your layout plan provided to find out the centrepoint of the house.
2. The centrepoint looks like it is at the same location as what you had drawn.
Please see below:-

Please refer to attached sample showing, North, South, East, West, NE, SE, SW, NW.
(every 45degree increment).
The easiest is to use a protractor to draw the outline.

the Ba-Gua : for the entire
L-room, or for separated
dining-room and living-room ?

You do not have to worry if the living room or dining room is `L-shaped'.
By dividing as shown in the attachment, it will fit in different sectors.

Under the compass school of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star, you need to determine the direction of the main entrance door.
Here, it is measured from the centrepoint of the house to the main entrance door.
