Bar Lights

The bar in our basement finally has lights installed. We found some hanging lights we liked at ikea (and the price was right at $14 each)... but once we got home realized they had plugs on the ends of them like you would plug into a wall outlet... not wires to install them straight into the ceiling wiring. Hmmm.

But after some quick DIY research we learned you can easily cut those plugs off the lights, wire them correctly to the ceiling electrical which we already had set up, and then buy a simple white cover plate to finish it off (for about $2 each at the hardware store).

And here they are, we love how they turned out and that the bar is feeling much more finished!
