The year is winding down and our third baby is due in a matter of weeks, so we are definitely slowing down over here. Less house projects, more time actually enjoying our home. Less busy activities, and more time for reading, baking, and cuddling on the couch. It's been quite nice! It worked out well to be pregnant at this time of year, when the weather is giving me cues to slow down and relax, while my body is absolutely demanding it. I'm usually antsy to DO something, to move on to the next project, and to get something productive done during every free moment. But right now (for once!) I am doing less and enjoying it.

Of course, that's not to say that we're totally sitting still! We're still squeezing in some quick weekend projects. Nothing major, just little details and things that have been sitting on the backburner while we worked on the big things. Last weekend, we installed new outlets and light switches from from the radiant Collection by Legrand. Let me zoom in so you can get a closer look.

Ever since we upgraded the outlets in our kitchen, I have been wanting to make the switch in the rest of the house so it all matches. We started with the main level, in all the spaces that are open to the kitchen (entryway, breakfast nook, dining room, and living room).

I just love the clean, modern look of these switches. The wider paddle looks more contemporary and sleek than a typical toggle switch. And the wall plate has no ugly screws! It's such a nice, simple design.

ALSO, the radiant Collection light switches and outlets fit into existing electrical boxes. So switching to them is a perfect weekend DIY that you can knock out in a couple hours!

Changing your light switches and outlets is an easy and inexpensive way to upgrade your home’s aesthetic. It instantly made our house look a little less builder basic.

Besides the switches, we also got a Wireless Charger, which allows us to charge our phones without plugging them in. Yes, you read that right! All we have to do now is slip the phone into that slot that's off to the side of the outlet. No wires, no need to find the charger, plus it frees up outlet space and space on our tables. And it also has a low-profile, screwless wall plate that looks so clean and pretty.

We're definitely winding down on house projects for 2019, but this one was worth doing! Didn't take much time at all, and I love the new look.

What about you? Do you have any projects you're hustling to finish before the holidays, or are you slowing down for the year?
