Light Up My Hall
By Marisa | May 18, 2008
As some of you many know, I designed my house and my husband built it. I was limited in what I could do since we initially intended to simply remodel our home. The more work we did, the more we tore down. Finally, we’d torn down our entire house, right to the poured concrete foundation, then rebuilt it according to plans that I drew. Considering how it all happened, the house turned out pretty good.
Of course, 15 years later I have a short list of things I’d do differently. One change in particular would probably never get approval from my husband. That’s because he likes things to be the “usual” way and I like to experiment. Anyway.
I hate to stand on a ladder so changing lightbulbs in the hallway has been a problem for me. I have to bribe and threaten a son to get it done. My idea (and there’s no reason we can’t make the necessary changes to do this) is to eliminate those darn light fixtures on the ceiling and place a lighted wall sconce here and there in the halls instead. Wouldn’t that be great? They’d be low enough that I could change the bulbs myself and still be controlled by the light switches. Also, I think it would look really nice, too.
The trick is getting my husband to agree and make the changes. He won’t be home from Hawaii for at least a month so I’m going to be thinking about a way to convince him that this tiny little remodeling project would be a good idea. Time to put on my thinking cap.
