11/13/2023 0 Comments Light bulbs and batteries![]() ![]() They last about five hours, so it’s perfect for a little mood lighting in the evening. The downside is you have to recharge the bulbs. The good news is the bulbs are rechargeable, so you don’t have to keep using up batteries. They are definitely a handy option if you don’t have any outlets nearby! The light bulbs are so awesome in the sconces, they make the space feel EXTRA COZY! I bought another set of these same lights in black for upstairs in an area where we have no option of wiring or plug-ins. That’s the light-changing magic of rechargeable bulbs. Put in the rechargeable bulbs and you’re done! Well, then I stumbled upon these warm rechargeable light bulbs on my friend Anne’s Instagram ( Pedal Home Interiors) and I knew this was exactly what I needed, too! We were able to hang these sconces on the wall with screws, without wiring them in (just tuck the wiring in so you can wire them later if you want, or clip the cord if you don’t intend to use it!). I’ve also used those battery operated under cabinet / closet puck type lights, but they are often far too cold of light for me. They needed to be slim and stay close to the wall, so many seem to stick out too far! Also plug in lights will have a cord running down the wall, which may not have bothered me but I know it doesn’t work for everyone. I looked into plug in wall sconces, which were an option, but none were speaking to me. But I was trying to figure out how I could use them WITHOUT actually wiring them in right now as this may be a temporary solution for us (more on why later). It’s a must for me! Click here for the rechargeable lightbulbsĪnyway, I was looking around for wall sconces for mood lighting as well as to add more character and finish the wall above our console. Ceiling lights are great, but I don’t know how people could possibly enjoy being in rooms without mood lighting, especially in the evenings and winter days. Even if you have room for a lamp, the cord and plug situation can be a challenge or unsightly. Plus, a table lamp takes up valuable surface space. I really needed more mood lighting in my office, but there comes a point when you have too many lamps in one room. I’ll share more of the room, paint and my other updates to this space soon soon, but I found this neat idea I wanted to share with you in case you are looking for the same solution I was! But it also feels really HAPPY in the day time! It’s fun color to use in conjunction with white and other brighter colors I love, too. I decided to paint a large wall in the bigger room hale navy, the same color I loved in my old office! The navy is on the moody side, so I absolutely LOVE how cozy it becomes at night. We have LOTS of great projects in mind, so I’m excited to share them here. The past few years have been a blur of so many book projects that I am pretty excited about a season to return to focusing on our home and organization. ![]() There’s one larger room where my girls and I can spread out to work or simply to meet or host zoom meetings! I decided to start a makeover in that space by cozying it up with curtain panels, paint on the walls and staircase, and rearranging the furniture (again!) and maybe even getting a few new pieces to mix in and complete the room. Our main floor is 1500 square feet, but I love having the basement because there are quieter and more designated spaces to write, create and work with others. Finished rooms are always fun, but there are many steps in between! Note that these pictures are just progress shots (so excuse the imperfection and evening light), but I thought you might enjoy seeing this step in the process even though we aren’t done :). I have a fun idea for you today that we are using in that space. Lately we’ve been doing a few simple makeovers in my home office, which is located in the lower level of my home. ![]() Have you always wanted wall sconces, but don’t have electrical outlets or wiring for them? Do you hate the look of a lamp cord running across a counter or dangling off of furniture or running down the wall? Same! I’ve got a clever solution to share with you today!
