Main door faces 'Total Loss' direction

[myfs_52184]

My husband and I are purchasing a beautiful large airy house next month. I bought and read two Feng Shui books--my kua number is 3 and my husband's is 2, so our directions seem impossible to reconcile. The main entrance of the house faces west, which is my "Total Loss" direction. Is there a way to overcome this?
The attached garage faces the same direction and the door between the garage and the house faces north. Since I'll usually park in the garage does that become my main door?
One books suggests painting the door navy or black (colors of water) or placing a rug or wall hanging of that color next to the front door, but I haven't found any other support for that method. And if I do that, does it place the door out of harmony with my husband's directions?
Thank you in advance--this is a very interesting board!

Dear Kristina,
1. In my opinion, based on your initial feedback that the hous is beautiful, large and airy... you could perhaps, first apply the adage " If it ain't broken, don't fix it.".
2. Many people, actually do not need the help or `assistance' of Feng Shui to prosper or enjoy good luck.
3. This is because, majority of the time, a house with good Shapes and Forms (both external and internal of the house) provides a quantum leap in `LUCK'.
4. Feng Shui and other Chinese divinity methods is in some sense, all about increasing one's `LUCK'.
5. If one has a quantum leap i.e. excellent Shapes and Form; this is already a significant boost in LUCK.
Any additional increase in `LUCK' may be much harder to `squeeze' and based on marginal utility, it may not be worthwhile if we need to spent (say) an additional $100 to get an increase of just $1 of luck.
6. What I mentioning here is that, you could perhaps move in first.
7. Usually, bad Feng Shui in most instances is associated with:
7.1 Constant sickness in the family
7.2 misfortune or accidents
7.3 loss of wealth
8. What you are trying to apply, frankly `worries' me because, it is just bits and pieces of the full Feng Shui puzzle.
Applying abit here and there.. does not seem coherent... or proper application of Feng Shui.
9. A full Feng Shui audit looks more into greater detail and by wanting to change the color etc... without proper investigations.. can provide grave concerns....
10. I remembered, in the past, this Doctor, who read a FS book and immediately changed the color of his gate .. but later realised that it does not suit the element.
11. If a home has excellent FS, kua numbers, in my opinion, may seem less relevant here.
12. If you and your husband and perhaps, children, have a happy feeling about the house, this is indeed a good thing...
13. Rather than, using `haphazrd' form of FS, I believe, you should move in first and `monitor' the situation.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
