Decorations over bed

[myfs_99236]

Hello,
We recently purchased our new home and are in the process of redecorating the master bedroom.
We have an East house, my husband is East, I am Southwest and my daughter is Southeast. Our master bedroom falls between the West and Southwest lines and looks like a diamond shape when put on the directional grid, with my husband's Death line going directly through the bathroom attached to our bedroom.
We have sliding glass doors in our master bedroom leading out to a brick patio. The doors are covered with vertical blinds (we used to have standard mini blinds but they drove my husband crazy and he feels better with the vertical). Our bed is on the opposite wall and faces the sliding glass doors.
Here is a diagram:

I included the garage in the living area because my husband's workshop is there and he spends a lot of time there. We don't park our cars there, but enter the house through the door connecting the garage and kitchen.
This is a very contemporary house and has an upstairs that I did not include on the diagram. There is a loft overlooking the family room and the walls in that whole area are covered in cedar planking.
My primary questions are how to balance out the good/bad areas since my husband's chart is almost the complete opposite of mine. I noticed that most of his good areas fall in the garage and I am rarely in there other than walking to and from the car. I'd also like to get some ides for things to hang over the bed. For the past 7 years it has been remained blank (even in our old house) because i never found anything that felt appropriate.
Thank you so much for your insight!
Yvonne

For the husband (seeking divorce):
Trick your wife into using Feng Shui as an excuse for your failed marriage. And try to avoid her claiming maintenance from you - since, it is not your fault
For the wife (seeking divorce):
1. Don't get tricked by using this lame excuse to seek a divorce. If possible, catch him being unfaithful.
2. Collaborate it with his Ba Zi report. Especially, if the report says that he has his "flower or romance" (extramarital affairs) during this period. And hope the Judge buys this:) *JOKE*
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Yvonne,
Frankly, in my opinion, one should not be unduly `obsessed'
with the Eight House theory, for the following reasons:
1. Usually, it is best used if one is trying to find a new home. And based on the breadwinner profile (usually male), it is considered good if the home suit's him or her.
2. It is also good, if the bedroom is favourable.
But other than this, there is not much one can do, if one has already committed towards this home.
3. Although both Eight House (4 good/bad) directions belong to the Compass School of Feng Shui, the caution, here is that this Eight House is a static model.
4. All else, since, on the practical side, "our eight house is fixed - and since we cannot simply swop homes, - literally, it is close to end of story.
5. The only practical approach is to see if the room is more favourable for the other spouse, he/she should sleep closer to the bad influence of the other partner (shielding, the other partner).
6. In terms of health, wealth and harmony, it is better to apply the Flying Star Feng Shui. (Let us not forget that before this theory, the base - Shapes and Forms is the most important consideration.
7. It is utterly important that we should feel very comfortable in our home. With such `inner' peace can we then `reset' our mind, rest, at-ease.
8. If one becomes obsessed with - "either reading too much" or "having a headache - trying to apply Feng Shui" and as a result, feeling worried, uncomfortable etc.. than, it is even better to throw away the entire notion of Feng Shui and get on with our lifes.
9. Unfortunately, the day has now come to the point that, PERHAPS couples who could not get along, today, could use Feng Shui as a real excuse to break up their marriage:-
During a Divorce Hearing:
Wife: (Going to be an Ex-wife soon) " My lord, I believe our marriage has come to a state where it cannot be mended.
Lord (Marriage Counsellor cum Judge: " Why is this so?"
Husband: (Going to be eligible soon): " Ever since, my wife picked up a book on 1001 tips on Feng Shui, life has never being the same. For example: I am considered a West house person and she an East house person. Because of this, I sleep in our guest room at (the west end). She sleeps in the East masterbedroom. It has been going on for so long....
Lord: "Yes, I sympathise with you. Frankly, it is also because of this, that my ex-wife used this same lame excuse to null our marriage. And, she has used this line with great effect, having married and divorced at least 8 times already."
Lord: "God Bless, the person who invented the Eight House theory. The plus point is that since she took the initiative, I do not have to pay her a single cent on maintenance... Phew!! "
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
