  • 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.

    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!

    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!

    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 😉😁

    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?

    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!
