Palm Tree Lamps

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Whether you are an Island Man or Nanook of the North, there is nothing that states its time to relax like various fine tropical decorations. Whether its a family area, recreation space, or screen deck, or porch, a tropical theme says chill in comfort and panache. Palm tree lamps will add to this dcor.

When you choose to get away, where is the number one place you think of? A pleasant tropical island, of course. Feet in the sand, no fears, relaxing with a cold drink is the way to go. This is the outlook you will bring to your residence with tropical dcor. It brings a beautiful, natural look to your home. Heck, put a pair of lamps in your dorm room and folks will know you mean business, that is monkey business. Pick up a number of palm tree lamps and everybody will be at ease.

But palm tree lamps are not solely for the house that is looking for an escape hatch. If you live in a tropical area or have a vacation dwelling by the water, palm dcor will bring a casual theme to your house.

But are palms just for a casual look. What about a little elegance? If I were shooting for elegance I would hire a couple of people to fan me with palm fronds all day long. But that can get expensive quickly (These people tend to eat and get tired after a few hours). Palm tree lamps will give the effect of simple elegance without the price. You will get a touch of class without paying those high imperial prices.

Okay, seriously, you can go in any direction with tropical decoration. You can go subtle with some nice elegant palm tree lamps on corner tables and mix and match with other styles, such as metal and glass. You can also go with rattan furniture and keep within a single theme. And since, palm tree dcor can go to the extreme (and I am certainly not discouraging this) you push the envelope with large flowing fronds, coconut lamp covers, palm fans. It could be something out of film noir classic, just add Peter Laurie or Sidney Greenstreet.

Look for the superlative when you are looking at tropical style furniture. Quality supplies and quality craftsmanship will ensure longevity in your furniture. If you are obtaining palm tree lamps, you will furthermore want to ensure quality wiring, so that the lamp does not turn into an issue in the worst feasible way. If you keep these things in mind, you will be chilling to the max in your own tropical heaven.

The name Guizee.com is inspired by the Chinese word for closet or wardrobe “guizi”.

Guizee.com is a social experiment that seeks to provide answers to the question: “What should I wear?” In addition to uploading their own items, members can search for items from a vast database of fashion apparel and accessories and then use those items to create items to share with friends. In addition, users can tag items they upload with useful data such as brand, color, material, occasion and price and use the site to keep track of real items in their wardrobe and this season’s latest fashions. They can even purchase certain items through links to online shopping sites.

 

“We built Guizee.com to help people keep track of fashion apparel and accessories that they own in a way that most people never can with their physical wardrobe and make better decisions about what to wear and what to buy. Essentially by using Guizee.com, your wardrobe becomes searchable by item type, brand, color, price, the best occasion to wear it and more,” said Jeff CLine, founder and CEO of SEOcorporate.com.

Guizee.com plans to add additional features for fashion brands, stores and retailers that will allow them to bulk upload their fashion inventory, which users can then match with the fashion items they already own. The site will also provide tools that will allow small fashion stores to create online dressing rooms, manage inventory and drive traffic to physical or online stores.

“We want to help fashion brands and small stores to promote their products to our users in a way that’s not intrusive and adds value to the user experience. Instead of looking at a banner ad, users are actually interacting with the products, creating content around them, as well as sharing and driving traffic to stores,” he added.

The site also uses a powerful notification feature that lets users stay up to date with the latest fashion items uploaded by their friends, fashion brands or clothes stores.

“Guizee.com can be used in many different ways. You can maintain a personal inventory of what you own, keep track of your spending on fashion, show off your sense of style or peek into the wardrobes of your friends or co-workers. If you are the kind of person who has nightmares about turning up at a party or event wearing the same clothes as someone else or frequently commit fashion mistakes that make you a laughing stock, Guizee is the site for you!
