Back in February 2021 I planned the location of every outlet, recessed light and fixture for our cottage renovation - really thinking about what we would need and how we would LIVE in our home. It’s finally time to see it all come together AND inch closer and closer to moving in!

Hi MaCenna! I don't know if you are doing this or have given it some thought, but it looks like you are going to be floating your sofa in your living room. I thought I would mention, since you are dealing with electricians right about now that you might want to put an outlet under the sofa for lamps. That is if you are going to have lamps there. That way you don't have to deal with wires running across your floors. Just an idea.

@sandieedward8214 2 года назад

Great comment & do take into acct desk, sofas, chair lighting Etc even sofa tables behind sofa & corner chairs or chaises... 👍

@PollyWannaCracker21 2 года назад

Yes! I saw this i. The McGee home. They put an outlet in the floor for the table lamps. So cool!

@LauraGallantRealtor 2 года назад

I highly recommend putting insulation between interior walls to help with sound carrying through the rooms. Especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Since you are at this phase it is perfect timing to do it. You can do the roll-in kind yourself before drywall. Doesn't have to be the blow in kind.

@jennifercline7843 2 года назад

Every room needs three different types of light: task, ambient, and accent. And you align the light bulb type to each category.

That's clever! Saving that tip.

@marnilane6124 2 года назад

@jojocatattack 2 года назад

I suggest that you insulate the outlets and switch plates - it helps with drafts and general weather conditions in surprising ways. I did it with a kit I got free from the electric company. They come pre-cut and are so easy to install.

@lovly2cu725 2 года назад

yup, there are thin foam pieces pre cut.

@johnmelissaziech6207 2 года назад

We added dimmable switches in our renovation. Love that we can choose the level of light we want. Be careful of how you place your TV above the fireplace. Heat from the fireplace can damage your TV if placed too low. Also, sit in front of the fireplace where your furniture will be placed to determine if you like looking up at the TV all the time. It can be very uncomfortable for some people. Good luck!

Just make sure you have as many outlets as you can everywhere for the more desirable lighting of the warm ambient lighting from lamps....I had recessed lighting put in everywhere...and I never use them...because they don’t give me the “feel” of what I want in my rooms....I use my table and floor lamps....and I wish I had more outlets....✌️💜💋

@donnacrosleythibault812 2 года назад

Get the electrician to put the outlets for Christmas lights on one switch so during the holidays you just flip one switch and they are all on. I’m sure you will have candles in the windows, right?

@Zokboyy 2 года назад

HAVE EVERYTHING ON DIMMER SWITCHES! Having the possibility of adjusting the mood of every room is absolutely essential for added flexibility in your designs. There is a lot of different models and I am sure that you can find something that fits your esthetic. Congrats on your hard work! This project is turning out absolutely beautiful and you have a lot of talent. I enjoy watching your videos every week. Lots of love XX

@rosalynjohnson168 2 года назад

I love how detail oriented you are. I feel like the way that you've built your house is the only way to do it. I'm also really glad that your contracter has been (as far as we can tell) really hardworking and easy to work with. (With the exception of that plumber thing) Anyways! Congratulations on how far you've come in a year! We're all so proud of you.

@rebeccag8407 2 года назад

Please don’t forget to add a connecting switch to any outlets (inside or out) that you plan to use for holiday lights and your Christmas trees. That way you can turn them off in the same way you would any light in that room. You never have to worry about unplugging anything before you go to sleep, just flip the switch. (if you want to get fancier you can ask about “smart switches” too ;)

@kerengosselin2974 2 года назад

We did rocker switches because they have less crevices for dirt and dust to get embedded and are easier to wipe clean. I can’t wait to see how everything you’ve been working on comes together ❤️❤️❤️

@michelewalkerwebb 2 года назад

I like the rocker switch also. My thought is the cottage is 110 years old. The other may be more period correct.

@@amara560 Oh, you are absolutely right, I misread it! I've seen under a counter lighting though, but it was an island, so it was a led strip. You power it from the plugs if it's already built.

My dad is an electrician. I've helped him pull wire and have watched him install switches and lights pretty much my whole life. It is so detailed, and an art in itself sometimes. I love looking at all of the light fixtures at the hardware stores when I go with him.

You should definitely do smart switches and lights and have a home system in the wall someplace not many people see in like a low key place. With the thermostat if you have that too. Right now in this place in the renovation you’re options are endless

@celestesalas5841 2 года назад

Recess lighting should wash your walls. Creates the perfect lighting. Especially if you place them in dimmers. Many people center their lighting and they lose the beautiful wash of light coming down the walls.

Dimmer switches too! Plug in at the end of hallways in case you want a light there. Double switches at the front of a hallway and at the end, so you can turn off your lights easily. plug ins on porches, plug ins in utility room at waist high. Then phone or satellite connections you may need hard connections instead of wifi depends on your community.
