    I feel like this video was made specifically for ME lol. I'm taking down that exact light fixture (mine is in way worse shape rust wise) and replacing it with a smaller version of that light fixture you put in. I'm also plan on adding a frame to my mirror so I guess I'm headed to find your video on how to do that! Thanks!!

    There should be a junction box cut in for the light instead of leaving exposed wires sticking straight out of drywall because if those wires were to spark it may start a fire. You can get an old work box which can mount itself on to drywall or use a metal pancake if it's on a stud. Other than that, great tutorial. Love the video

  • @ericastier1646

    Awesome video and ideas. Beside the cabinet repaint which looks great the other things don't look so much like an upgrade but more like a change of style. We get tired to see what we have and changing it suddently looks better even if it's not (but not worse). The black light faucets are not better neither are the black light fixture. IMO

      Only around the gnome door. They get a little fussy if you paint more than that. You may have to do more depending on how big the hole was and the fading of the old paint.
