Let there be LIGHT - Making Stone Wall Light Features - Restoring a Stone House

[@ellesnd4579]

I would definitely be tacky and put miniature furniture and scenes in those nooks. Adorable either way

[@Iloathsnow]

Of course they are worth three days of work😍 You will soon forget the work but enjoy the lights forever.

[@etiennelabeille]

Perfect for Christmas. Add to one of the niches, a miniature manger, a donkey, wise men....

[@bettybryson9637]

Love the mystery of it that draws you to peer deep into the wall. There might be treasures!

[@carolvanrooyen4929]

They are like miniature caves. Imagine tiny people living in there! ❤

[@paulaburatto629]

Saaaaame, I instantly thought of adding miniature hidden things there, like a small library, just like those book nooks portray.

[@daviemaclean61]

Or a sleeping bear

[@enjaw9479]

Yes please! ❤

[@julianweeks326]

or a couple of tiny sleeping bags and a camp fire.

[@1whitecottagelife770]

Remember the closet people in "men in black "?

[@joannewachel2505]

They look like little works of art. I love them.

[@rudymazar5266]

I like the idea of the light coming from the wall covered with rocks. Leaving it as natural as possible. Well done

[@the.artist.donaldb]

LED strip lighting would work to create ambiance without over lighting those spaces. Probably a good idea to finish those interior spaces with your hemp lime mortar too.

[@containyourlife]

Your hard work has paid off! If it were me it would have been battery operated dimmer lighting with a remote control.👏

[@chantaln6843]

The light in the nook is absolutely beautiful… well done 🎉

[@speliotis]

I'd like to see Quartz or amethyst crystals in the ports.... Sort of a magical surprise

[@marygonzalez3113]

It looks beautiful!! Your persistence and patience paid off. What wonderful offset lights and peek holes into the interior wall. I am in awe of your skills, both of you. Good luck on the rest of the projects you will tackle in the future.

[@sharonmaddox3390]

I like what you have done but I would have used them to display treasured items. A shell, a fossil, a beautiful tile or bottle. glass would look amazing with the light shining through it. Love your house. Thank you for your hard work.

[@MAKEDOGROW]

I think in the future we’ll also add objects … perhaps some beautiful relics we hope to find when we get to the real decorating phase

[@paulm.8554]

Totally worth 3 days of effort! You'll never get tired of admiring your handiwork.

[@jessejames5375]

Very nice lighting. Patience is key. Well done both if you. Beautiful project as always. 😊

[@suepumphrey1559]

Oh good, another video from Make Do Grow!😅

[@mompuff]

You two are awesome!! Very gifted & perfectionist!! I ❤️ how well you work together!! Simply beautiful & extremely unique!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ShirleyFoshee]

BEAUTIFUL❣❣❣ I think you need a Teeshirt saying, "FIDDLELY❣"

[@deborahbasel184]

The lighting nooks look beautiful. Well worth the time taken.

[@hwinny2]

It’s cool that you can change your display to Christmas villages, geodes, crystals or clear stones, or anything for any holiday or seasons. I love what you all do!!!!

[@mr.defected]

You could place a nice geode at the back of those wholes

[@MsCookiemonster0]

Lovely result. Finished light much better than the original one put in. Soft light without the glare.

[@susanB24F]

Love the nook lights! Worth the 3 days

[@constancestine1020]

I seriously believe Kylie and Guy have the patience of Jobe’s entire family!!! I doubt most of us would be able to replicate the overall effect. Both of you are so supportive of each other allowing your creative selves to sore. Love, love, love the “end” product of which will be copied and marketed by some enterprising young finisher coming to your favorite DIY network! Crack on, can’t wait to see what you do next!🏚️💕

[@kasiaimichael]

It looks beautiful, you should be both proud of yourselves!

[@catherinecampinos5331]

Lighting plays such a big part in how a room feels to me, what you have done is gorgeous

[@michellerassp4730]

Nice dimensionality. Very unique and warm art installation. ❤

[@nicarazzi]

It’s going to be a characterful kitchen. Next is the floor - how exciting.

[@florentinalily]

you could place a piece of glass or parchment - painted. to filter between the bulb and the room to evenly diffuse the light?

[@amdo5873]

Beautiful. Looks like mini caves on display. 😊

[@Bobrogers99]

Your niche lights have a practical use as well as being aesthetically pleasing. They can serve as night lights, enabling you to navigate the room without turning on the main lighting.

[@MAKEDOGROW]

Exactly 😀 … when we’re sneaking around trying to find the hidden wine 😂

[@machellep1]

@@MAKEDOGROW what barbarian would hide the wine ?

[@MAKEDOGROW]

[@margaretlovelock7031]

Absolutely fantastic‼️

[@celiapereira5223]

The light nooks look very cosy, well-done you both👏👏👏

[@alicekenworthy9603]

Stunning result !!!!! Well done Guy and Kylie 👏👏👏Durban SA🇿🇦

[@LifebyBertie]

Fiddly yes, otherwise absolutely amazing. The addition of the rocks gives it more dimension, great idea!!! Cheers Bert

[@fenman1954]

As a retired electrician I was screaming at yours keep that screwdriver away from the finished surface, my ocd kicked in when I saw the scratch on the wall.

[@KiwiBabz]

Same here. Then we saw the scratch! What the heck😮

[@maureenmcgrath4664]

Beautiful, well done. Definitely worth all the effort. 😊

[@tonileggate]

Getting there and looking really very good. Undo, redo = perfection.

[@luminyam6145]

This is the same thing as sanding those beams, fiddly work but damn, the results are spectacular. I love those little niches. 🥰

[@doucelait1]

The light and stone looks lovely 🥰

[@lorimontcalm9086]

Looks marvelous! Everything takes longer than expected!! Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@lynh8378]

Those nooks are just lovely. Nice work!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

I love this, it is exactly right for the property. So soft and pretty. 👏👍💝

[@KayMcFall-g4c]

Use a RGBW LED with a dimmer. Tunable light so you can choose the Lumen temperature. Comes in a bulb or tape or rope. If you use tape you can hide it surrounding the opening. Or put the light in the back and use a frosted acrylic pane in front of it. With the Red Green Blue and White you can change to any color.

[@נעמהלוי-ע8ל]

Your perfection on details,is showing out. But,as you make and do..its growing 😅. But its beautiful and very unique!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Love a smooth passageway

[@BJHolloway1]

They look very good, well done - hard work always pays off.

[@nataliarau5129]

This looks sooo cool. Just stunning! The lights make the room very special

[@alysonpillinger7863]

Those little fairy type lights people put in bottles would look good in the nooks and would hide what's going on behind

[@maryannfrazer4693]

WOW!! That nook lighting is FABULOUS!!!

[@lizwilson6633]

Loving the illuminated nooks. They will be lovely on an evening sitting cosy in the room xx

[@dawnfitzgerald2951]

What a beautiful feature . The history of your house in the walls. I love the nooks. Great job.❤️🇨🇦

[@sudoym3484]

The wall turned out really beautiful.

[@j.n.sloane]

Beauty often takes longer to achieve but the enjoyment lasts even longer. I really like your Moroccan tavern. Perfect for your courgette wine. Saludos desde Asturias.

[@elisaferreira7244]

Oh my goodness it's beautiful and absolutely gorgeous

[@ruthnoronha8206]

The lights look awesome!!! It was tricky but you both sorted it out! It’s such a nice feature. If the light feels sharp, a piece of frosted glass on the inside might disperse the light. But as is it looks very warm and cosy.

[@sharongaines3043]

Your nooks are really exceptional and with a few candle on a dinning table you will have the most romantic of rooms to eat your meals in. Your both multi talented, you should be so proud of each other. All in all, MAGNIFIQUE. 💕💕💕Xxxx

[@arwelwilliams6954]

You two must be very happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel with this particular project. The nooks would be perfect for some Lego characters😂

[@deborahpalm7657]

Very magical fairy nooks.

[@Journeyman76524]

Fit socket to end of each nook. Then get short length cluster fairy lights in warm LEDs, green or black cabling. Plug fairy lights into socket ball up fairy lights and place in the nook hiding the socket. It'll look amazing and you can change fairy lights out easily. Edit. Turned out really good. I like the way it features a view of wall construction rather than just pretty lighting.

[@mariarichmond4179]

I love it. You will have many mixed memories when living with the lights.😊😊😊❤❤❤ unique

[@pattirichardson4956]

Stunning. I'm in love. I can picture you guys sitting there in the evening. In Canada our light switches are same. Push up to turn on. Push down to turn off.

[@samday9328]

Put the candle holder for the "flame" candle into a wooden base; don't forget you will have to change these bulbs occasionally!

[@sherry2836]

Another great job mixing modern style with old world architecture. I can't help myself but I would paint a pair of eyes at the back.

[@Marc-mo8bt]

You could use a block of Himalaya salt to soften the light.

[@anneyday3493]

The nook lights are magical, and definitely worth the effort.

[@leahlemieux6410]

The cubbies look lovely and warm! I can picture you eating dinner with those little. Vey nice!

[@eugenianovillo4136]

Hi you guys! I think the Himalayan salt lamps would be amazing on those bucks in the wall. They look like a warm quartz stone❤

[@jaccirdesign]

Fabulous little light holes. (?) My grandson would say it would be far better with a couple of his dinosaurs dwelling in those caves though. 😁

[@theSeaHag]

I love the nook lighting. It makes a beautiful ambiance. Now I just want to swag them with some holiday greenery and a big red bow! 😍

[@214carlisle]

Oh your nooks are so pretty. What ambiance!

[@hwinny2]

They’re soooo beautiful!!! Your home is becoming stunning. Wow, it will be a masterpiece of art and cozy home when your finished! 🏠

[@happycamper4329]

Mica on top of the hemp while still wet so it sets at same time. Mica would give it a beautiful hue.

[@monikamccartney7096]

I'm, once again, so impressed. Beautiful aspect!

[@cjames282]

Well worth the fiddling! It looks amazing.

[@cindypickett8167]

Saw Guy fixing the scratch, oh well. The lighted nooks are absolutely fabulous and unique.

[@user-ho3dk4pg8y]

The lighting is one thing, but I sure did love the shot of your fruit trees outside. Beautiful!

[@Mandy_wv8st1cb2k]

How clever. Love how you’ve just left some loose rocks there. When you first started leaving the loose rocks there I thought it would look unfinished but you were so right. It makes it look so real and magical😊

[@sashacat53]

It looks beautiful guys. Well done. I do like the rocks in the cavities.

[@wendyironside1637]

Use the ceiling puck. Then you can put a lovely piece of pottery in the recess. ❤️

[@shwarry]

Greetings from Cascais! I've been lime plastering on my place in Portugal this morning! great work, you have inspired me to give it a go myself. I also love the way you work through problems, so easy to follow your logic. Been following you for ages!

[@JerryBowen-jx5hy]

You need some lovely glass Christmas ornaments in the nooks or something similar!

[@lindacarruthers3423]

An excellent result I would say. Those little illuminated niches bring a lot of life to the room and are very uniquely pretty. clever old you lot .

[@JudySnyder-dv5ld]

It's going to be beautiful.

[@DinSF]

Never underestimate what lifhting can do. And in saying that its an art and science knowing how to light an area. We used a sheet of 1/4 inch plastic and cut it to size and put in front of the light for something similar in our house. The fitted plastic helps decrease the blinding from the light bulb, but still shows the depth and uniqueness of the lighting area, while helping to decrease dust and drafts. The light in the wall is nice when you only need a little bit of light or a night light. We love ours.

[@LindaCurrivan]

Beautiful just beautiful

[@rowandowland1391]

The nooks look lovely. Just a suggestion....Place the globe behind a piece of brass metal shaped to the size of the nook opening that has a pattern of holes punched through it for the light to penetrate.

[@wendyGteH]

I think it is beautifull! Worth the effort.

[@cleopatra4473]

I think the nooks look awesome. Your hard work was worth it.😊

Looks great! Your patience pays off as always. You are making progress and soon you will be done and using the room as intended. 👍👍

[@colinchick2692]

i am just amazed at your attention to detail.
