Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and easy frozen s’mores- but make them protein-packed and absolutely delicious 🤤🔥
I made these over the weekend and they were gone in seconds, safe to say they were a hit! 🙌

Here’s how to make them:
➡️ Mix @coolwhip with @truvani vanilla protein, and 2 tbsp of @jifbrand peanut butter
➡️ Scoop between graham crackers
➡️ Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips 🍫
➡️ Freeze for a few hours… then devour 😍

These taste like a treat, but sneak in some protein too. Win-win! 💪🍪
Would you try them?!👇

How to Add Wall Sconces Without Hardwiring

If you love wall sconces and want to add them into your home, but don’t want to hardwire them, then this is the post for you! Today, I am going to be sharing all about how to add wall sconces without hardwiring. I recently shared all about our entryway refresh project we did and you may have noticed the wall sconces there.

The entryway area in our home can tend to be a little dark because we don’t have any additional lighting there. We just have the usual overhead lighting and I don’t like having that on all the time since it can be a little harsh.

So we wanted to add in some softer lighting options. That’s when we decided some wall sconces would look perfect there!

It is actually quite easy and simple to add in a little bit of lighting through a wall sconce. Even if you don’t want to spend the time or resources hardwiring them. Keep on reading to see just how easy it is do!

Finished entryway wall

Installing the Sconces

The first thing you need to do is to install the sconces in the wall. My biggest tip to you here is to not cut the wires or remove them from the back of the sconce.

Even though you aren’t hardwiring them now, doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.

For example, the previous wall sconces we had on the entryway wall (pictured above), we decided to use them in our guest and downstairs bathroom instead.

Which in that case my husband did have to hard wire them to get them to work. So if we had removed the wires, that wouldn’t have even been an option for us.

I loved the previous ones we had, but I figured they would be too dark for our new entryway wall. So I am glad we were able to reuse them in another area of our home as well.

And the new ones really make the entryway wall pop since they are a beautiful antique gold color.

Installing the Sconces
The sconces came with all the hardware we needed to attach it to the wall with.

These sconces were fairly easy to install. It came with everything we needed and since we already had the holes pre-drilled in the walls from the other sconces, it was super easy to place them.

Installing the wall sconce
They have these cute little decorative gold beads to hide the screws in.

And here you can see the old ones in our guest bathroom. We put one in our upstairs and one in our downstairs guest bath. So it worked out perfectly!

Puck Lights Are the Secret

So you have to have puck lights in order to make this work. And puck lights are such an awesome invention. You can get them from Amazon and there are several options to choose from.

I would recommend buying a pack that come with a remote though.

The ones we have you can either push the light to turn it on or use the remote. But the remote is handy to turn them both on at the same time. And they come with several different lighting features as well.

Like 100% power or 50%. Or you can even customize them to how bright or how dark you specifically want them as well. And you can even set them on a timer too!

Installing the Puck Lights

The next step in how to install wall sconces without hardwiring is to install the puck lights. You can easily install them using Scotch Outdoor Mounting Tape to attach them inside the sconce.

And that’s it! Easy peesy! I mean this is much better than having to hire an electrician to come out and install it for you right?

Before adding wall sconces
Here’s what it looked like before adding the sconces in.
Wall Sconces
And here’s what it looks like after! Love the cozy glow here!

The only downside is that they do run on batteries so you will go through some batteries if you use them often. But we usually use them only at like 50% power to make them last even longer and that’s plenty of enough cozy lighting!

I hope you learned how to add wall sconces without hardwiring from this post. And saw just how incredibly easy it is as well!

Hopefully it will encourage you to add in a few areas of cozy lighting in your home too sometime. How do you think it turned out!? Do you love it just as much as I do?!

    I recently saw this trick somewhere on social media and thought it was so clever. My husband and I have a whole box of puck lights and we use them all over our home, but putting them inside something that would normally require hardwiring is so genius!

    aHA! Puck lights are the secret! Despite this being a battery-powered solution, I do not think entry-way sconces would be used too much so the batteries should last a long while. Being able to put the sconces up without needing an electrician is a win-win for me. 🙂

      Yes, honestly the batteries have lasted us a whole year almost. We are just now having to replace them and we originally did this back in May last year with other wall sconces!

    What a great idea! I have to admit that when I read the title, my first thought was “Duct tape?” LOL

      Lol I am not sure how well duct tape would work, but these puck lights definitely do the trick!

    This is the blog post I didn’t know I needed! I’ve been looking to add fancy wall lights but my husband and I are no good with electrics. And we don’t have a fortune to spend! Thank you so, so much for this!!

    The whole wall looks awesome! We have the same wall sconces in the bronze on our floating nightstands. My husband just hid the wiring and it plugs into the switches below.

Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and easy frozen s’mores- but make them protein-packed and absolutely delicious 🤤🔥
I made these over the weekend and they were gone in seconds, safe to say they were a hit! 🙌

Here’s how to make them:
➡️ Mix @coolwhip with @truvani vanilla protein, and 2 tbsp of @jifbrand peanut butter
➡️ Scoop between graham crackers
➡️ Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips 🍫
➡️ Freeze for a few hours… then devour 😍

These taste like a treat, but sneak in some protein too. Win-win! 💪🍪
Would you try them?!👇

Friday kicked off with me running over a giant bolt on the way to the grocery store (because of course it did). Fast forward to a busted tire ➡️ a broken axle boot ➡️ a non-draining, non-functioning dishwasher this morning. 🙃
And the cherry on top? We’re supposed to leave for vacation this Friday. 😂 Because why wouldn’t everything fall apart the week before a trip?!

If you need me, I’ll be over here juggling repairs and pretending I’m not spiraling. ✌🏼🛠️

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶
