When I think of making changes to the house, I’m usually contemplating repainting the house a different color, renovating the rooms and kitchen, or adding an extra patio to the back yard. However, like many of you, time and budget limit these strong aspirations. However, because I’m in this dilemma far too often, I’ve realized that small changes can do the job, too. Sometimes, something simple as replacing old handle sets is enough to make an effective impact.

Even though in my opinion a volcano inspired fireplace is the best product by UK company, Flying Cavalries, there are also other great fireplaces that it sells. The Hillside is one of them. As you already might have understood it’s inspired by the hillsides and using it evokes the feeling of being on a hillside. Warm and comfortable emotions accompany you whilst you lie on your back on its ergonomic seat beside the fire. The cool thing is that this fireplace isn’t simply a fireplace. It comprised of an ergonomic sofa chair and a coffee table. They both are made using only three natural materials: oak, natural stone, and glass. You can use Hillside as a stylish coffee table when entertaining friends and convert it into an extraordinary fireplace in just a minute when you are relaxing alone.This creative idea makes your life easier and save you some space.

Shamrocks and more

Thousands will gather on the streets on March 17th to either partake in or watch the parade, where the predominant color will be green. Have you ever thought about what the origin of the reference to green and the Shamrock might be?

The History of St. Patrick’s Day

Many know that the March 17th celebration is in honor of St. Patrick (AD 387-461) from Ireland. He was a bishop who had a rocky teenage-hood. Though he was born in Great Britain, when he was only 16 years old, he was kidnapped by the Irish and forced to become a slave in Ireland. He managed to escape, returned to Britain, and embarked on the path to becoming a priest.

In 432, he returned to Ireland as a bishop to spread the word of Christianity and convert the polytheistic Irish. That’s when the Shamrock made its way into the legend of St. Patrick: supposedly he used the three leaves of the Shamrock to explain the dogma of trinity – in Christian religion the notion of the unity of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Perhaps simplistic, but people, both then and still today, learn and understand best by illustration and demonstration.

It wasn’t until 1903 that St. Patrick’s Day became a holiday in Ireland, though another 28 years passed before the first parade took place in Dublin. However, oddly enough, the very first St. Patrick’s parade in the world happened in Boston as early as 1737! The parades not only celebrate Saint Patrick; they also became a display of the Irish culture, and in past times a political statement against the British rule of Ireland.

The Emerald Isle

Further connection between the color green and St. Patrick's day comes from Ireland's frequent rainfall, resulting in the island's lush vegetation, and earning it the nickname the Emerald Isle.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

Nowadays, Irish and non-Irish alike celebrate on March 17th, with almost everyone wearing a piece of green clothing for the day. You can wear the green like everybody else, but if you think the color green doesn’t suit you well, how about a piece of jewelry reflecting the color of the day?
