Painting and Installing light in your wardrobe

Step 1

Get paint and paintbrush - It doesnt cost much to get some low quality paint and a small brush from the nearby hardware store.

Step 2

Get Light Sockets and Light Bulbs - this idea came to me spontaneously as i was painting the shelves of the cupboard, why not make this place a little brighter, and as before i was surprised how cheap these things come(2 bulbs + 2 sockets + 2 pin plug = $8)

Step 3

Paint Cupboard - alright people, for this task you "gotta" have patience and some artistic sense inside you(no, you dont have to be Da Vinci), Take time to stroke the brush and dont hesitate to use a lot of paint, too little paint will make it look shabby.

Step 4

Drill Hole in cupboard - Pretty simple if you have an electric drill, a little tiring if you have a hand drill and if you have nothing - nail it!! with a hammer, it'll work(make sure the wires fit in to the hole).

Step 5

Install Light sockets and wire them to a power source - You dont have to be an electrical engineer to figure this one out, just connect the wires to the two pin plug(purchased earlier). There'll be two wires only(in my case), try to get longer wires as you might need to extend it to the power source.(get the wires with colour coding - red and black)

Step 7

Light up cupboard and take pictures - this is the fun part where you can be proud of your handywork, dont forget to blog about it after you took the pictures!

And well there is an idea i would like to hold for now until i'm really sure and thats the installation of a switch.... (due to unforseen circumstances, the latest installation has been postponed)

(unforseen circumstances include - shorting one or more power sources in the room)
