Light Accessories

Efficient lighting systems save electric energy, require less frequent maintenance and emit better quality light, which can enhance workforce performance. The greatest financial advantage is in energy savings delivered from reduced input wattage and decreased hours of operation. Strategies to reduce energy consumption range from lamp replacement to building design.
One LED solar lamp can help a whole family by providing light. The lamp can also save people from spending the little money they have on kerosene and keeps them from dying due to inhaling its toxic fumes. That's a pretty good investment in humanity for a $55 piece of technology.

Tom Window

Restore an unpleasant backsplash with well-priced ceramic tiles. Fashionable today are 4-inch by 6-inch subway tiles in bright white or ivory. Lay tiles in an offset bone pattern where vertical grout lines are spread out from one row to the next.
If current ceramic tiles are smooth (without a raised pattern) they can also be improved with a coat of paint. Just make sure to remove any gloss from the tiles so the primer can adhere properly. You might use melamine paint for this task, since it's known for improved grip and stability (available at most paint stores and big box retailers).
A kitchen has so many hard surfaces that a fabric window treatment is almost always a welcome addition. If a soft treatment doesn't appeal, create a display area for porcelain and dishware by installing glass shelves in front of a sunny window. Or hang a stained-glass panel directly in front of an on hand window.
