How To Build A Vase Table Lamp

A room without an accent may not be attractive. No matter how big a room is, it is important to give it an attraction to enjoin guests to enjoy staying and get the impression that you are an organized, fashionable, classy, sophisticated homemaker. One of the best pieces of furniture that usually attracts attention is a table lamp. You can buy nice pieces from a home improvements or furniture store. You need to choose one that corresponds to your home's theme and accent. Sometimes, it is also best to do things yourself as this personal touch can be a conversation item when you entertain friends and relatives.

If you opt to make a variation in the table lamp that you want to display in your room, you can follow the following steps.

1. Buy a uniquely designed glass or vase that can accommodate pieces of colorful stones inside. A transparent glass will be best to emphasize the contents that you will put in your vase table lamp. For a big room, you need an appropriate size of vase. For a small room, you need a small vase. Also, consider the size of the table where your vase table lamp will stand. If it will stand on a big table, you can put some other pieces for accent so your vase will not appear very small. For a small table, never use an oversized vase. It will not be a good match

2. Buy colourful items that you can put inside the transparent glass vase. You can also include decorative items that compliment the color of the room. Be ready with the lights that you also need to install inside the vase.

3. Place the lights in the vase with the decorative items that you chose to put. You can have shells, rocks, buttons, sequins or anything that can stand the heat of the lights. You can also choose to put wine corks to make your lamp innovative and environment-friendly.

4. Place your lamp on top of the right sized table, plug and see its beauty as it sits in your living room, bedroom or kitchen. You can have different pieces displayed all over your home with different motifs. The design with wine cork is best as a kitchen piece and those with rocks and shells can stay in the living room.

Your creativity can catch people's attention. You can even give your improvised and creative table lamps as gifts to friends during special occasions. Your labor of love will be greatly appreciated.

Building a vase table lamp is easy. It only needs your creativity, style and time. You can experiment on different styles and you will see how beautiful your room will turn out to be as you improve on your design and incorporate some other forms of art in your lamp. Later on, building a vase table lamp can become a hobby and you will find pleasure and fulfillment as people continue to appreciate the result of your effort.

Good feng shui? Will a single betta fish in a small bowl attract good feng shui?

I have several betta fish in individual bowls or vases (large and small) in different rooms of my house. Is this good or bad for feng shui purposes? I keep the water very clean, but I wonder if this type of lone dwelling fish attracts positive energy or negative?

there is no fish out there that will attract good fengshui! it is not the fish! the secret lies in the location/ direction where you put the water (where the fish is). in fengshui, the flying stars concept/ technique is used to calculate for the location of the good chi and the bad chi in your house. it also describes their individual characteristics. when you use a specific area, you "activate" that area, making the characteristic of the chi to happen in our reality. for example, an area has a bad chi, when you use the area, then the bad thing will happen. there are many ways to activate an area. one of which is to put a moving water, or water with an aerator as in an aquarium. fengshui people like to mislead their audiences so that you won't know their trade secrets, hence they emphasize the kinds/ colors/ number of fishes to use.

regarding flying stars, the emphasis is the location of the chi, and remember that not all chi is good, there are also bad chi. in flying stars, 3 sets of 1-9 are "flown" in a tic-tac-toe grid (3 rows by 3 columns); 3 sets representing mountain (health), water (money), and base/time. the calculation is based on the facing degree of your front door or most yang door of your house, and move-in date or when did you first used your house. you will end up with 9 sets of 3 number combinations. each number is represented by an element, characteristic, material, family member, etc.; when the numbers combine they interact and form new energy, this is the energy of the location in the house. so, using this technique, you can analyze where to put your kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathrooms, etc. and activate the good areas by using them or putting aquariums or moving water features; and leave the avoid using where the bad energy is.
