I have decided to take 'spring cleaning' to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. I have decided to do some painting and some small updating as well as the usual organizing and deep cleaning. It's a task, but man do I feel GREAT afterwards.
So, this is a small task that I've taken on and I LOVE what it's done for the house. Just so you know, I've updated the light switches too. I'll post those pics soon! Our house was built in the 80s and I'm pretty POSITIVE that the outlets that I took out have been there since day 1! They were old and crumbly, probably not too safe either, so I feel like I did a really great thing... more than just making it look pretty.
So, here's a step by step, on what I (not an electrician) did to change the outlets. BIG thanks to my friend, Mary for helping me get started!!
Here's what they looked like in the beginning... YUCK!
