My Long Dark Hallway Needed Some Lights.

I added LED strip lighting on the back side of the wood framing. The lights come in different colors, but I chose white, and they have a sticky backing that adheres to the frame.

This is a closeup of the lights. There’s an adapter that plugs into the end and this plugs into my timer. It’s set to come on during the daytime only.

These are just L brackets that the window hangs on. It is out of the way so no one gets close enough to bump into it and possibly fall on them.

I added a lacy valance on the top and on the wall it went. Everyone that sees it thinks it’s a real window. It brightens up the hall and makes me smile every time I walk by.
