Appreciating The Benefits Of Light


Lighting fixtures have made a huge difference not only to our lives but to our society as well. They have been a great source of illumination which light our path in the absence of light. Not only these lighting fixtures have provided comfort and security during troubled time. But they have also paved the way towards progress. It is hard to imagine living in this age with nothing but candles or kerosene lamps lighting our path. It is even harder to imagine that there are still some parts in this world where people are in fact living in this age with nothing but candles and kerosene lamps. Sadly, a few of my relatives and their neighbors are living in this age with nothing but candles and kerosene lamps as well.


I have not realized this fact until one of their neighbors' child came with one of my nieces for the weekend. It is a humbling experience watching her reaction after showing her around the house. She shows great appreciation to all the lighting fixtures especially the patterned ceramic lamps. Well, I also appreciate all the lighting fixtures at home especially the newly purchased vanity lamp, a 23-inched Abstract Etchings Contemporary Vanity Light. The new vanity lamp has an intrinsic but beautiful patterned design. Just like the other patterned ceramic lamps at home, the light coming out from the patterns look enchanting. Anyone can be mesmerized by this UL-approved ceramic vanity lamp. It does not only brighten the bathroom but it beautifies it as well. However, my niece's friend is not just appreciative of the lighting fixtures at home. She adores them.


The comfort, security and beauty offered by the lighting fixtures are enough reasons why we should appreciate them even more. We are quite lucky that we have access to the benefits of having these lamps. Or perhaps not.

The Beauty Of Ceramic Interior Wall Sconces

 

Contemporary ceramic interior wall sconces are not your usual lighting fixtures. They are the best. They are are made from natural materials and handcrafted by only the experts. These lamps are not only found decorating and illuminating the walls of the hotel room or lobby but the walls of our homes as well. In addition, they can make a perfect night lamp too. The lights coming out from the patterns of these lamps are absolutely beautiful and engrossing.  They could lull you to sleep.


These ceramic lamps are what you call the work of a great artist. The designs and the patterns are done by only an expert artisan. I have been practicing how to make my own ceramic lamp for weeks now. Unfortunately, I have only made one ceramic lamp successfully. It does not even look close to the lamp I copied. Everything about the lamp I made look wrong. It may look like an abomination to the original lamp but eventually I can perfect the art of ceramic making.


The patterns of these contemporary ceramic interior wall sconces are meticulously etched to perfection. The texture is also smooth to the touch. I know that practice makes perfect. But for sure, it will take me eons of time before I can perfect the craft of making ceramics. It would also take a lot of patience. Moreover, the designs of these lamps may look simple. But everything about it spells elegance. It can be a perfect decor and lamp for your home and office. It can also be a wonderful night lamp with a dimmer installed. The soft light coming from the patterns of the ceramic lights is just enough to provide privacy and security for your home and office. These contemporary ceramic interior wall sconces are surely wonderful wherever you place it.

Ceramic Lamps, Simply Organic


Made from natural materials and guaranteed to be safe, every parent/s would choose ceramic lamps to brighten their home. Ceramic lamps are made from organic materials which are safe for our health. I am sure that no parent/s would want to risk their children's safety for buying lighting fixtures which are probably less expensive but eventually will cause more health issues. Parents should always choose the safety of their children above all else. They should always choose UL-listed products such as ceramic lamps as these products have undergone rigid testings to ensure us that our family is in good hands.


Ceramic lamps such as the Contemporary Cylinder Sconce with Side Light Openings and Shooting Star Children’s Ceiling Light have not only undergone rigid testings but they are also guaranteed to beautify our homes and offices. These ceramic lighting fixtures were molded by only expert artisans. Even the lovely patterns on these ceramic lamps are also made by hands. Every owner of these ceramic lighting fixture can tell that it is a work of art and must be displayed for everyone to see. The light coming out from the patterns are also a beautiful sight especially if they are coming from the cut-outs of the Shooting Star Children’s Ceiling Light.


There are lights and there are ceramic lamps. Nothing is ordinary about these ceramic lamps. Everything about it looks elegant and special and yet simple. But the best thing about these lighting fixtures is that is safe for our every day use. No traces of chemical can be found on these lamps as well unlike other lighting fixtures. These ceramic lighting fixture are made from natural white clay which is known to be the mildest of all clays. This is the same white clay used to make our coffee mugs as well as applied to our face. I am sure this is the type of material we want our home to be made of-simply organic.

Beautiful Ceramic Lamps Project

 

Dreams do come true sounds like a fairy tale to some of us. It is unrealistic, impossible and out of reach. Well, life is never a fairy tale. It is full of hardships and strife. However, if we dream, and work on it, then we can achieve many things. We can make our dreams come true by working on it.


Creating my own ceramic lamp has been my lifelong dream. Since time I can remember, I have always love anything ceramic. Our house is in fact full of decorations made of clay including the ceramic lamps which lights the interior and exterior of our home. I am fascinated with the intricate designs of these ceramic lamps. They are simply beautiful, clean and elegant to look at. I am fascinated that these ceramic pieces were molded and formed by human hands. I suppose this all started since I have seen my cousin mold his own coffee mug. I have been asking him to give me a crash course on ceramic making but it is not something that can be learned easily. Ceramic making is an art. It is a gift which only a few people has. But I believed that if my cousin possesses the genes of an artist there is a great possibility that I have too. I almost lost hope after failing several times in my ceramic lamp project. But after reading a lot of ceramic making books and watching several ceramic making clips online, finally, I was able to create a ceramic lamp. It may not look as refined and as beautiful as the ceramic lamps at home but this is a good start for me. A few more practices on how to create ceramic lamps then I might open a store on ceramic lamps and anything ceramic.


Fulfilling your dreams does not happen overtime. It is the reality of life that we should learn to accept. You need to invest a lot on your time and effort. It also takes a strong motivation to make your dreams happen. Otherwise, your dreams will remain as dreams.

Fun In The Workplace



Amazing things happen when people love what they are doing. Work is no longer called work but play. I am sure that most of us have been seriously thinking about quitting from our job. That is because going to work everyday becomes painful. We are no longer happy in what we do. We have to literally drag ourselves out of bed every time.We felt trapped. However, since we have no other alternative to support our daily needs or we are afraid to gamble our future, we stay instead even though we do not want to. 



Thankfully, that was then.  I am one of a few lucky people who was able to break free from that torturous daily routine. Quitting from the job which had been my bread and butter for many years was not easy. I left behind so many friends there. I will somehow miss the work place and all the people I worked with. But then again, I know that true friends remain true friends no matter where they are. I know that they are happy for me. I hit two birds with one stone. I got a job which does not feel like a job because I enjoy it very much and the money is good.


Most importantly, our office is designed to make it not look like an office. The working environment is fabulous and cozy. Plants in hanging glass terrariums are quite a beauty. The lighting fixtures are also eye-catching and fun to look at. Well, the Twigs and Leaves Ceramic Ceiling Lights without a doubt beautiful. It seems that ceramic lamps never cease to impress people with its elegance and simplicity. It has been a week since these new ceramic ceiling lamps replaced the old ones which already did their time and yet, people in the office are still drawn to it. It looked even more amazing after dimmers were installed.
