NEW HOUSE PROJECTS | HOW TO CHANGE AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET, REARRANGING FURNITURE & REDECORATING | DIY

We're working on some New House Projects, including How To Change An Electrical Outlet, because one of my kids put a bead in the outlet, so now it needs to be replaced. We'll also be Rearranging Furniture around the house, and Re-Decorating in the Kitchen Dining Room, and Living Room. My daughter spilled a whole cup on iced coffee on my dining rug, so I'm replacing that and using my Dreo fan to make sure the spill is dried and doesn't harm our new flooring.

Girly, look at you go! You are legit someone I aspire to be like. I love the old coffee cabinet in the play room. Ooooh, that new gold Dreo is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you 🥰 I love that cabinet in the playroom as well! It looks so pretty & offers wayyyyy more storage

[@melodyhernandez2482]

Megan you are so smart ! You have so much talent. Anything you do always turns out so beautiful !

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you ❤️

[@jen8491]

I love the changes. Great idea to move that cabinet to the playroom. It looks perfect in there. Love the gold color fan. Your house is beautiful, Megan. Be proud of yourself for all of your hard work. Have a great relaxing weekend ❤

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I love the cabinet too! It has so much more storage than that console did

[@shanaproctor100]

Congratulations on fixing the outlet! You are braver than I am.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It was actually really easy! I definitely made it a bigger deal in my head lol

[@karrielynn]

Girl, it sounds like a jet going off in my house with my fans. Haha, I love the noise. I go crazy in silence 😅 look at you changing the outlet my husband would be proud lmfao I would never !!! 😅 getting shocked is not for the faint of heart 😂

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I did shock myself a little before I started filming 😅 it was pretty mild, but that’s what reminded me to turn off the darn breaker lmao

[@jennyb7343]

Just FYI, the ground wire should be the last one off and first one on when replacing any electrical. Great job in DIYing that. The first electrical project is always the most nerve-wracking; I started with a light switch and have now done light fixtures - saves so much money for easy fixes!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Eventually I’m going to try the light fixture in the dining room, and the ceiling fan in the playroom.

[@sharleneharper]

Bravo on changing the outlet, I knew you could do it. I do love that cabinet much better in your family room, looks so good. I like everything you do always looks nice.😊

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I like it there too 😊

[@patticake6032]

The cabinet looks a lot better because it blends very well with the rattan mirror! Perfect match. Definitely a round rug works and looks better under a round table. Just little rearranging make a space and me feel refreshed

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I think so too 😊

[@maureenb1109]

Such a pro, you make this look so easy I would be a nervous wreck, way to go girl! 😊👏🏻❤

GREAT JOB ON REPLACING THAT PLUG 😊 U R AMAZING

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thanks! It was a lot easier than I made it out to be in my head!

[@ClaudiaPh21]

Great job changing the outlet Megan! Omg I have to say the mirror in the dining room looks stunning like that’s where it’s meant to be! The new cabinet that used to be in the coffee bar looks amazing in the family room another hit 👌🏻! IMO I would either leave the current coffee station with the blank wall it’s always nice to have some blank walls around the house and it still wouldn’t look too empty because of the accent trims, or some shelves above the coffee station would look great too! Still looking forward to the back patio refresh hope it’s coming soon 😉😁

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We don’t want to put shelves, but Derek did move the mirror back over there lol. I think I might try to get some wall art for that space

[@sandymyers1182]

@@lovinglifeasmegan I love the mirror by the coffee bar……way to go Derek

[@jdruhmz2976]

Megan, could you have washed your old round rug from under the kitchen table? I LOVED the colors in it & it complimented the dining area so well, & would do so even more now with the mirror near the table! 😊

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It was too small anyway, so I just took the hint to go ahead & replace it lol

[@gracerodriguez6869]

You made some good choices, love the new look, great job

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@Jodi-hx9qw]

If your playroom is extra warm in the summer months, the trick is to keep blinds or drapes closed to keep the light and heat out. It’s also very homey and looks moody!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thanks for the tip, but my Dreo fan is the perfect solution for us!

I miss your 4 framed Disney prints you had hanging in your dining area. The 4 frames mimicked the 4 dining chairs and if I remember, they had black frames to bring in the contrast you’re looking for. On another note, you go girl for switching out that outlet!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

They had wood frames, not black. 😊 I’ve relocated those to the playroom. They were getting knocked off the wall too frequently being right next to the pantry.

[@Christine-hy3jd]

The changes are great

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@bevalexander5897]

When my daughter was 2 1/2-3, she stuck a fork into an outlet. It tripped the breaker for the whole house. She also got a little shock which scared me, and terrified her. Never messed with outlets again. When I moved into my house I realized 2 outlets in my bedroom weren’t working. I decided to try and change them to see if that’s all that was wrong. $1.50 later, I had 2 working outlets, and saved $100+ on an electrician. All I did is read the directions on the little cardboard wrap that came on the replacement parts. Also, I liked the rectangle run better, too. The colors were nice, and calming. Did you consider turning the rug the other way?

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

No, I didn’t try it the other way, but now I’m thinking that I should have 😅

[@bevalexander5897]

@@lovinglifeasmegan Did the coffee come out of the rug you had to change?

Well done, you doing that PowerPoint socket. Love the round rug under the table. Great colour to blend with the floor and space. That mirror looks great, too. A pop off colour ❤ enjoying this one. A great variety of house tasks we can all relate to. Thanks for sharing and some great ideas for us.

Let me know what you think! I hope you love it as much as I do! 🥰

[@aliciaturtle3977]

I didn’t notice it in your video but you are supposed to tighten the screws on the sides of the outlets. They hold the wires in tight. If you did, you rock!!!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I did!

[@jenniferbaker3707]

You have a pretty rooms! Nice, warm and cozy! Yes it s getting hot ! Temp around 95 for next few days in my area of ohio.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It’s so hot here this week! I’m not a big fan of the humidity, but I love having the sun out every day!

[@Jodi-hx9qw]

In your kitchen, for your coffee bar, you need a hutch on top of the bottom piece, or a whole kitchen buffet, it would be more kitchen oriented and more storage

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We’ve thought about that, but a hutch doesn’t leave space for the coffee maker lol

[@kimberlyakers5923]

nice changes

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thanks!

[@erikatheicyone]

If you're going to work with electric outlets and so forth, you might want to treat yourself to a voltage tester. It is good to have to ensure beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have turned off the breaker before you begin work. My dad learned the hard way that breakers can be mislabeled. The jolt threw him off of the ladder he was standing on and melted a dent in the screwdriver he was holding. He was okay, but it was a close call!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

That’s a great idea!

Ugh fire!!! Our grill and propane tank blew last night while my husband was cooking burgers. Fully engulfed so the fire department came to put it out. I was worried that because the fire was so big, it was going to catch our covered back deck on fire. One of the posts is burnt kinda bad but not so that it degrades the post. Just looks scary.
