Balancing Home Decor

Yin-Yan

Yin-Yan, or yin and yang, is a Chinese philosophical idea that describes two oppositional aspects of a process, phenomena, or object that work together to form a complementary whole.  Though yin and yang are opposing components, they are also inextricably linked.  The concept of “unity in duality” is present in the philosophy of several other cultures, and the Yin-Yan symbol is a widely recognized symbol for balance across the world.

 

Many tattoo enthusiasts have the Yin-Yan symbol inked into their skin, and the symbol is available on almost any form of merchandise that could have it printed or applied in some fashion.  A home decor accent bearing the Yin-Yan symbol can provide a cleansing breath for any room.

Why We Love Elephants

Elephant plant Stand

The elephant has been an important symbol for thousands of years, appearing in many cultures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.  Elephants are a symbol of wisdom in Asian cultures and are valued for their memory and superior intelligence.

 

Elephants are the largest land mammal on Earth and have become a protected species worldwide, having long been threatened by human poaching for their ivory tusks alone. 
Why not bring a bit of the safari home with you with an Elephant Stand?  This magnificent rendition of the beloved animal displays its trunk upraised, itself a symbol of good fortune. This alabaster elephant stand would look great outside or inside, whether supporting a favorite plant or just to admire.

When one thinks of a Japanese Zen Rock Garden, they imagine this large area outside of their home or office that one can walk through and think in a quiet setting. It is creation of art and science that reflects a unique scene or illustrates a way of thought. For many of us, it would be great to have such a space to visit every day. However, it is not feasible in urban areas where few individuals have the space to create such a wonderful place for thought and relaxation.
