Disclaimer: This is not my original idea!
In the process of re-fabbing my office space, I was inspired by Lindsay from My Creative Days. She has these great farmhouse wall sconces on either side of her desk space. One problem, I didn’t have an electrical source on that wall (switch or outlet) and didn’t really care to call an electrician.
While educating myself about wall sconces, I ran across multiple bloggers posts about this “Magic Light Trick.” Hanging a sconce without electricity. Now, listen. I’m a traditionalist. I like things to be “right.” But currently, I’m not paying for or inviting an electrician in my home (CVOID-19 and all.)

How long do the batteries last?
Ginny,
Great question! I’ve had my lights for a year without needing to replace them! I’m in there often so I’d say if it’s in a super high traffic area you might need to replace them yearly.
Hope that helps!
