B4andAfters How I Added Ceiling Lighting Above My Faux Mantel Area View my profile

Get App I do not have a mantel. But I do have this area above my TV that I love to decorate. I designed these built-ins so that I would have a faux mantel. @B4andAfters on

Get App But... it was dark. I tried hanging white Christmas lights, but they showed, and didn't photograph well like I had hoped. See? Still dark. 1 @B4andAfters on

Get App Also, there was a big gap between my trim board and the ceiling from settling. So I removed the board, and nailed it in again a 1/2 inch higher. 2 @B4andAfters on

Get App I ordered an 18 foot length of white rope light, and installed it by attaching it to the ceiling. It is doubled up, about 9 feet across. 3 @B4andAfters on

Get App I added extra clips to keep it from drooping down. 4 @B4andAfters on

Get App It is really bright, but not too bright. And sooo much better than the white Christmas lights! Hurray! @B4andAfters on

Get App How did I plug them in, you ask? See that blue lamp? Last year I drilled a hole in the shelf so I can plug it in behind the television. 5 @B4andAfters on

Get App And that bunch of dried stems to the right of this corner shelf? @B4andAfters on

Get App It is hiding the rope light cord, and the extension cord that travels over to behind the blue lamp. 6 @B4andAfters on

Get App So that is how I installed my new ceiling lights, all by myself! @B4andAfters on

Get App I wish I had thought of doing this little improvement years ago. 7 @B4andAfters on
