"Sarah prefers to paint it, so *were* going to paint it",,,husband paints the cord😊👍

[@serenitymassagedayspa]

Thanks so much! I had little hope of finding something when I searched for "How to hide light power cord for sign" but your video showed up! This is perfect to hide the power cord for my metal sculpture in my spa that I'm adding lights to. thanks again.

[@LisaParisLohan]

This video is excellent; very useful information. I am going to try this to hide all the wires from my under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen. Thank you!

[@JSCDR]

Thanks so much! I needed to see this solution. Especially that last part where you covered the bottom. My switch is at the top and I had no idea I could split it up so that the switch still shows but the cord is covered. I was thinking I was doomed to having the cord just show all together. I hope to see more videos from you. Especially on how you styled your shelves. Love your blog!

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

Thank you so much! Really glad it was helpful.

[@lindalori52]

Thanks! Got a picture light with a black cord..ugh. I knew there was something out there. You had it!!! YAY!!

[@YaVonnaDaniels]

THANK YOU! I was going crazy over this cord. No I’ve found a solution!!!!!

[@ssg8051]

First of all, I love your light fixture. Second, that's a cool solution for ugly cords. Third, Emmett is a fine presenter. Cheers, Ardith

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

Thanks so much, Ardith! My video / camera skills need a ton of work, but he did a great job sharing our easy solution!

[@ssg8051]

If you say so Ms. S., it looked pretty seamless and well done to me.

[@The3Badbunny]

@@ssg8051 Where did you get that light? Any link to the light? It is great! Good job on the quick video too!

[@ShanasOasis]

Great video to you both. It helped me so much.

[@Harrysound]

Your place looks great

[@darlenew.6765]

Thank you! This is awesome!!!!!

[@jreason2]

😂 “Sarah prefers it painted, as everything”. My husband has the same feeling towards me 🤣

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

Haha!! He knows me well.

[@sg2684]

Thanks for the video. But please link all products in the bio next time. Thank you 😊

[@tttyl]

The fixture is the West Elm Overarching Mid-Century Sconce for anyone who wants it. Still being sold as of Sep 2020

[@jasminemcdowell2207]

Lmmfao she has you working but it looks beautiful! Thank both of you for the idea!

[@AlanJet5]

Thanks. Looks straight but personally I would have drawn a pencil line exactly parallel with the door frame first.

[@emmaoconnor3250]

Hi, love your wall sconce, where is it from? Could you please also provide details of where you bought the wire covering?

[@ericsesame6321]

Did you find where this lamp is? I’m trying to find it too.

[@MattMayerMusic]

thanks!

[@bfourney]

Any idea what the paint color is? I like it.

[@jenniferashba9073]

I have no idea how I landed here but your yellow sweater and that perfect lip color are gorgeous together. Seriously. I don't even know what that dude built cause I stopped to write this message. What lip color is it?

[@stellarlofi7240]

Where can I get that sconce light fixture??

[@daviddeloya4712]

Where did you get the plug in sconce?!?! I've been looking

[@patrigg2518]

Thanks for the information. I'm trying to cover & attach a cord to the ceiling of my craft area. I had a friend install a 4' shop light over my crafting desk but the cord has to travel about 5' across the ceiling & then down the wall to the wall outlet. I'm not as concerned about the cord on the wall, but I need a way to attach the cord to the ceiling. I've tried using the hooks that have the removable tab on the back but they keep coming down, I'm assuming it from the weight of the cord itself. The cord is currently hanging at an angle from the light to the top of a TV that is against the plug wall. Dangerous for a tall person or anyone not looking where they are going. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[@markkeane6843]

Go get an electrician and install the light properly

[@ana-bananainca790]

I have the same problem with two lamps above my couch in living room. Looks horrible. I am living in a rental and cannot hardwire anything now would I want to spend the $$ on an electrician. There has to be a better way to hang a lamp without hardwiring it? Maybe?

[@ifyoucantmexiCAN...9948]

What is that particular lamp called?

[@lgmnowkondo938]

how much is a sconce like that? I need one....

[@jamada08]

What brand are you using?

[@oliverstreet7704]

Silly me. I put 2 old work boxes in the wall, one for the fixture and 1 for a switch, pry off the baseboard with putty knives so I can hide the holes I’ll have to make in the plaster to drill through the studs to fish power from a duplex outlet to power the switch and the light and then use a thin piece of plywood and a rubber mallet to put the baseboard back on without messing up the finish. I can’t say if it’s more or less $ than the taped on plastic sheath. It’s 30 minutes to an hour if you’ve done it before, longer if you haven’t.

[@sg2684]

Where do you buy it Amazon? Can you link it ? Thanks

[@anythingeverything.]

where did you guys get the conduit from?

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

The exact one is linked in the blog post: roomfortuesday.com/how-to-hide-light-fixture-cords/

[@Usernotfound1777]

I would have liked to know the product used...

[@tttyl]

It's the West Elm Overarching Mid-Century Sconce

[@LRodn2005]

Why did you choose to paint it since it’s already the color of the wall?

[@AMGF815]

Wouldn't be much easier to paint the pipe before installing it on the wall?

[@jjgems5909]

Where is the light fixture from

[@tttyl]

It's the West Elm Overarching Mid-Century Sconce

[@stvnixrcks]

Now if they made it with an easily removable sticky tape such as in a renter’s case, would be better!

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

Right?! So true.

[@stvnixrcks]

Sarah Gibson I wonder if we can just keep the protective paper on it but use 3m command strips instead!!!

[@larawrightt]

You could use removable poster tape, or indoor removable mounting tape from 3M

[@vt4954]

🥵 handyman

[@kaffeinecoffeeco.519]

You could also make a small repairable hole behind fixture . Then drop cord down to outlet . Pull out outlet and reach in and grab fixture cord . Cut plug off if you had not already and wire it into back of outlet. And bingo cord is completely hidden.

[@lauralaforge558]

Isn't that dangerous? I was watching videos about concealing wires from wall-mounted TVs and it was advised that this was not safe to do.

[@adnanb3746]

You should've painted before placing it

[@SarahGibsonroomfortuesday]

If you're painting it the same as the wall color- it's actually easier to paint it once it's installed. If you're going with a contrasting color, I'd definitely paint it beforehand.

[@littlefrog8389]

did this really need a 5min video?!

[@harvir6167]

why you talk so much just show it
