Greetings Master,
I am mostly new to Feng Shui. I have read same and have a very basic understanding of the concept. I have many questions but the first has to do with drawing my apartment properly so I can see what sectors the rooms are into help me analyze it.
I know an actual drawing is best, but I don't have one at this time so I will do my best to describe it to you.
The apartment is question is a basement apartment in a single family home. The front door (which is shared) of the house faces NW (I think). The house entrance is slightly elevated above street level.
Now I am going to walk you through the house/apartment as best I can.
Facing the house from the street you will see it is slightly elevated. The garage will be to your left and is at the basement level.
As you walk into the front door (which is centered on the house) you will find a small entryway and two sets of stairs. The one directly in front of you leads upstairs, first go up those stairs and move ever so slightly to your right and you'll find the kitchen (which we share with the home owners). This is the only place upstairs we use.
Now lets go back to the entrance. This time (facing inward) take a slight right and go down that set of stairs (both sets of stairs have 6 steps each) at the bottom is our privacy door. This leads to a large oddly shaped room.
This room serves as living room (which is also where we currently eat), laundry area (which is shared with the home owners), office area and future dining space. Everything is even with the door and to your right as you come in, except the washer/dryer which is on the left side in a closet.
Taking about 3 steps forward and turning left you will see a hallway which is maybe 12 feet long. 3 to 4 feet down the hall and to your left is the bedroom. The left hand side of the bedroom is in an almost straight line with the right hand side of the bathroom door, across the hall. The bathroom is directly below the kitchen. At the end of the hall is the door to the garage.

I am trying to draw a rough floor plan. Anything you can tell me will be appreciated. My major concerns are the bathroom directly below the kitchen. Looking at a wall when at my desk, I prefer to look outside but that is not possible. The main living area feels off center (something I am very sensitive to. And where is my front door?

ok i am enclosing my rough draft of the lower level, I couldn't write on the plan so hopefully my directions will help you see what I mean.

Dear Tiffani,
Thank you for the sketch.
1. I have sketched the compass direction of your home in the attachment, below.

hall. The bathroom is
directly
below the kitchen.
At the end of the
hall is the
door to the
garage.

I believe, based on the layout plan, the bathroom should be directly above the kitchen.
This is not too bad, so long as the stove does not sit directly under the toilet bowl or toilet sewerage pipes.
And try not to have a coffee table in the kitchen directly below it.
3. Check for any wealth leak from marking C to D as shown in the attachment.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
