Work continues on our Portuguese farm house renovation and we now have lights and working sockets in our kitchen dining room.
Join us for more experiments, trial and error and a bit of undoing and redoing as we try to work out how to show off our feature "nooks" to the best of our ability.

I would definitely be tacky and put miniature furniture and scenes in those nooks. Adorable either way

@marygonzalez3113 6 месяцев назад

It looks beautiful!! Your persistence and patience paid off. What wonderful offset lights and peek holes into the interior wall. I am in awe of your skills, both of you. Good luck on the rest of the projects you will tackle in the future.

@chantaln6843 6 месяцев назад

The light in the nook is absolutely beautiful… well done 🎉

@Iloathsnow 2 месяца назад

Of course they are worth three days of work😍 You will soon forget the work but enjoy the lights forever.

BEAUTIFUL❣❣❣ I think you need a Teeshirt saying, "FIDDLELY❣"

@etiennelabeille 9 месяцев назад

Perfect for Christmas. Add to one of the niches, a miniature manger, a donkey, wise men....

@alysonpillinger7863 9 месяцев назад

Those little fairy type lights people put in bottles would look good in the nooks and would hide what's going on behind

Nice dimensionality. Very unique and warm art installation. ❤

@carolvanrooyen4929 9 месяцев назад

They are like miniature caves. Imagine tiny people living in there! ❤

@paulaburatto629 9 месяцев назад

Saaaaame, I instantly thought of adding miniature hidden things there, like a small library, just like those book nooks portray.

@daviemaclean61 9 месяцев назад

Or a sleeping bear

Yes please! ❤

@julianweeks326 9 месяцев назад

or a couple of tiny sleeping bags and a camp fire.

Remember the closet people in "men in black "?

@sharonmaddox3390 9 месяцев назад

I like what you have done but I would have used them to display treasured items. A shell, a fossil, a beautiful tile or bottle. glass would look amazing with the light shining through it. Love your house. Thank you for your hard work.

@MAKEDOGROW 9 месяцев назад

I think in the future we’ll also add objects … perhaps some beautiful relics we hope to find when we get to the real decorating phase

Stunning. I'm in love. I can picture you guys sitting there in the evening. In Canada our light switches are same. Push up to turn on. Push down to turn off.

As a retired electrician I was screaming at yours keep that screwdriver away from the finished surface, my ocd kicked in when I saw the scratch on the wall.

Same here. Then we saw the scratch! What the heck😮

@maureenmcgrath4664 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful, well done. Definitely worth all the effort. 😊

@the.artist.donaldb 9 месяцев назад

LED strip lighting would work to create ambiance without over lighting those spaces. Probably a good idea to finish those interior spaces with your hemp lime mortar too.

@sharol946 9 месяцев назад

The lights are so beautiful ...great job...

@rowandowland1391 9 месяцев назад

The nooks look lovely. Just a suggestion....Place the globe behind a piece of brass metal shaped to the size of the nook opening that has a pattern of holes punched through it for the light to penetrate.

@deborahpalm7657 9 месяцев назад

Very magical fairy nooks.

@johnledger4230 9 месяцев назад

Wonderful job on the nook lighting. The switch orientation thing is europe wide. It is actually considered safer. before rocker switches, the toggle switches were also up for on. If you want to turn something off in a hurry, the natural action is to swipe down.

@nspires1 9 месяцев назад

They look fantastic! Great work (as usual). They have an element of a Japaneses rock garden. (I hope they aren’t too much of a pain to maintain, dust, change bulbs, etc)..

@cjames282 9 месяцев назад

Well worth the fiddling! It looks amazing.

@tejolisboa 9 месяцев назад

@richardrynko 9 месяцев назад

Put the light behind a polished translucent stone to soften the light, and give a nice visual effect.

@florentinalily 9 месяцев назад

you could place a piece of glass or parchment - painted. to filter between the bulb and the room to evenly diffuse the light?

@MaryMay1794 9 месяцев назад

Oh how beautiful it looks

@rudymazar5266 9 месяцев назад

I like the idea of the light coming from the wall covered with rocks. Leaving it as natural as possible. Well done

@jonathanleonard1152 9 месяцев назад

I think you could have tiny wall sconces on either side or a single over hanging tiny light just above the opening. In the nook could be a tiny stuffed doll set of mouse family.

@miriammuskal5402 9 месяцев назад

...a magical choice......we love it too. ❤ 13:13

@KayMcFall-g4c 9 месяцев назад

Use a RGBW LED with a dimmer. Tunable light so you can choose the Lumen temperature. Comes in a bulb or tape or rope. If you use tape you can hide it surrounding the opening. Or put the light in the back and use a frosted acrylic pane in front of it. With the Red Green Blue and White you can change to any color.

@VeeHart-m6b 9 месяцев назад

You can paint the bulbs. Check out Escape to the Dream, restoring the Château.

Your niche lights have a practical use as well as being aesthetically pleasing. They can serve as night lights, enabling you to navigate the room without turning on the main lighting.

@GeologicalNerd 4 месяца назад

Personally, I would have placed semi translucent chunks of agate or chalcedony to hide the lights. That way the inside could be finished with the lime and hemp to seal it and refract light. You also have to think of how to change those bulbs when they blow. Excellent work!

@kdclothes 9 месяцев назад

They ARE like miniature caves. I really like them. You have given me some ideas for my old walls in my taverna. hmmmm. These videos are always entertaining. BTW the light switches are the same in Italy as yours. I also thought it should be the other way round.I like the fun you are having along with the hard work. Looking forward to the next one. Merry Christmas in Portugal from Italy

@SCMaffs1985 9 месяцев назад

@mightymarf265 8 месяцев назад

I would try a "nest", or a loosely balled-up string of tiny Christmas lights in each hole; maybe in an amber color? Just to see how that works out. This might save you having to "finish" the inside of the hole.

@pearlbhon631 9 месяцев назад

You both are really great .

@Marc-mo8bt 9 месяцев назад

You could use a block of Himalaya salt to soften the light.

@nancibishof6462 9 месяцев назад

An LED puck could give you a less bright light and is flat so less visible. They also can be adjusted for the color of the light. Happy Holidays!

@lanagumpinger9460 9 месяцев назад

Put the bulb behind a fitted piece of translucent plexiglass. Use a soft, slightly dim bulb.

@timwillis2629 9 месяцев назад

To hold the bulb and hide the cables maybe make a small l shaped wood section. Cut a hole in the backstand to hold the bulb and this will also hide the cables. If you paint it white it will basically make it invisible
