PRINCIPLE SUITE – THE BEFORE
Oh, the good ol' before shots. I took a full video of the space before we started any demo, so here's a look at what we're working with. These spaces pretty much look just as they did when we moved in. Our room has a few newer pieces like the bed and the rug, but for the most part I've just been using things I had from other rooms in the house and from our previous home. https://youtu.be/uJKHwpuvwxk Our home has 4 bedrooms on the upper level.

The deciding factor will be taking the one we have up to the room and testing it out. We don't want it to be in the way of getting in and out of bed. Knowing this, I am looking for alternatives. I do have some requirements for how these bedside lights will function. They have to be wall sconces, the night stands will be small and I don't want space taken up with a lamp. I'd prefer a plug in (although we could
