Read MoreAn Alternative to a Drop Ceiling
/
In our basement Airbnb, our electrician recommended we do a drop ceiling. One reason for us to do a drop ceiling was because we have not renovated our kitchen the floor above yet and may need to run plumbing and wiring.
But I really dislike typical drop ceilings and was not thrilled with this idea. I found an alternative option on pinterest and we created beautiful tray ceiling instead of the typical drop ceiling. This is work my husband would typically do, but since we were about to have a baby, we hired this out locally.

10 things that helped us set up our AirBnB
/
This fall we decided to airbnb our home. We had considered doing this in the past - but I was too nervous about all the things that could go wrong.
Because of some job changes this fall, we needed to supplement our income and living in an area that is a destination in the fall - we felt like it was a good opporunity to give it a try.
If you want to learn more about our experience - we shared about it in our podcast this week.
If you are thinking about trying this - it really helped us financially & was an overall positive experience.
Magic Light Trick
/I got this idea from the lovely Brooke of Nesting with Grace.
The basics! No electricity is needed for this sconce.
The caveat - not a TON of light - but adds a little light & a nice aesthetic.
This is what you’ll need:
Drill to Hang the light
Puck Lights like these ( & batteries)
A light like this (this is the one pictured - and an awesome value! Here are some of my favorite Amazon lights - you’ll want a sconce that does not have a cord to plug in. You’ll want to make sure you cannot see the light bulb because you are going to be using a puck light instead.
Beyond that - instead of the light bulb - you will attach the puck light with a 3m strip - usually included like this.
You will not need any of the electrical wires - you’ll just tuck these in and attach the light as you would hang a picture frame since no electricity is required.
Let me know if you have questions!
