Elizabeth Duvivier MacCrellish, ’85

Dorm Room Feng Shui: Find Your Gua > Free Your Chi ;-), by Katherine Olaksen, with Elizabeth Duvivier MacCrellish, ’85, and Margaret M. Donahue. Paperback, 144 pages, Storey Publishing, June 2005.

Katherine Olaksen set out for college with high hopes, only to confront the challenge of how to live in a 10’ x 15’ box with a homesick roommate. With the help of her aunt, writer Elizabeth MacCrellish, and feng shui expert Magaret Donahue, she transformed her dorm room into something special that improved her — and her roommate’s — college life dramatically.

Olaksen walks the reader through the basic principles of feng shui, step-by-step. The book is packed with 99-Cent Quick Fixes, do’s and don’ts, real-life before-and-after scenarios, “dorm chi” enhancers, foolproof solutions for the “particularly problematic,” and attitude adjusters to help deal with the most troublesome roommates.
