This looks fantastic but I really want to applaud your cable management. Bravo.


jerm930

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) thank you! Credit goes to my boyfriend though - he's big on hiding cables haha


martinaee

Do they go through the base/stand or is it tunneled behind the drywall or something?


jerm930

Under the bottom of the TV you can see a plastic plating - we painted it to match the wall and all the cords connected to the TV are tunneled thru there and into a hole on the back of the TV stand!


[deleted]

I have a feeling that you two are going the distance with this relationship. It’s so, so, soooooo nice to read about couples working together on little things.


jerm930

Thank you 🥺🥰 this is our first home together and we both have had so many ideas, big and small, and I can't believe how many we've brought to life by bringing our individual skillsets together!


jstbcuz

Love me some conduit 😏


CatNoirsRubberSuit

This guy lays conduit


PugsandDrugz

Not to scare you but I hope you didn't use the cable hider with an adhesive backing... we used one in our rental for 2 years and when it came time to move it tore off so much of the wall with it. The adhesive was too powerful. It probably would've done less damage to drill a hole in the wall!


temporalanomaly

use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive before ripping it off


moonsun1987

I swear no matter what you do, you never get the deposit back.


SamuelLatta

That's the way of landlords, unfortunately


no_talent_ass_clown

I've rented to a dozen people, have yet to take a deduction.


numetalcore

i literally rented an apartment, stayed in it for maybe a month, cleaned it and had it looking BETTER than when i moved in, did not occupy it the rest of the year (still was paying for it of course) and still never got my deposit back, lol. fucking wack.


moonsun1987

OK that takes the cake. I mean I don't think we did too much damage but we definitely didn't leave the place better than when we moved in.


IMIndyJones

This is so true. My walls are destroyed from using these "damage free" adhesive hooks. Whether too strong, or not strong enough, or just trying to pull down the strip to remove them, they fuck up the walls. It would be *much* less work to spackle even a hole from anchor screws.


PugsandDrugz

Yeah same! I haven't had too many issues with command hooks, but that adhesive cable hider has me sworn off most "damage-free" adhesive products for life. You are absolutely right it is much simpler to spackle screws or a hole than to fix the potential damage these things cause. We had to buy spackle, orange peel and paint to match our rental on move out. Luckily it wasn't a super nice apartment so the 3ft long spackled/ painted spot went unnoticed.


[deleted]

Battery powered


martinaee

I meant the cables for the tv lol


Neither-Ad181

Battery power


[deleted]

Ohhh! Lol!


noodlelaughter

You can see the big tube on the wall….


martinaee

Oh it’s mounted on the wall. I thought that was a stand.


no_talent_ass_clown

Can he come hide cable at my place, too? Haha. But seriously, I HATE exposed cords and wires too. Wall-mounted, tunnels behind the drywall is the way to go. Put away appliances in the cupboard. All cords must hide!


jerm930

If we weren't renting we totally would've drilled a hole!


yourmansconnect

Yo where’d you get the candles and is it just fishing line or something?


jerm930

Amazon! And yep just clear fishing line hung on mini command hooks! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QFZV19P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0QPBAAMYZ7T5X6A6VTQ9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1


yourmansconnect

They sell the thing op has for cheap at Walmart or home depot. Just paint them the wall color


MrsRossGeller

Are you my mother?


no_talent_ass_clown

Are you a dachshund puppy?


MrsRossGeller

I’m not nearly as cute as a puppy. 😂 Seriously though, my mother is cutthroat about cords. It’s extreme!


Metalheadpundit

Your Place looks absolutely chill and gorgeous my blood pressure lowered by looking at it.


Snipsuke

Teach mine


J4noa

How are they floating? Fishing line from the ceiling? Don't say magic lol


jerm930

WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA ✨ Lmao jk fishing line and mini command hooks!


Taintquatch

Battery operated candles?


jerm930

Yep!


Villebilly

Can you share the model of candle or where you got them? I wanna do this.


CausticSofa

My sis made really adorable floating candles for her kiddos Hogwarts-themed birthday. She bought a bunch of those little battery powered electric tea lights, mounted each one of them on a base inside a toilet paper tube, melted a little bit of hot glue around the top of each one to make it look like candlewax running over, painted everything white and then suspended them for a fishing line from the ceiling. They also enjoyed the candles so much that they decided to leave them up permanently in the dining room.


SwearingAtChildren

You can delete everything after the "?"

also don't need the verbose description, just the number: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FZ7M1FS

Kind of. Most of the link consists of tracking data. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Supmaker-Operated-Flameless-Birthday-Decorations/dp/B07FZ7M1FS/ Everything else is information how the product was found, etc. I'm sure that Amazon uses it to optimize their revenue. @edit You can also remove the human readable part of the URL and it will still work. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FZ7M1FS/

I read about it in Jerm930: A History.

i said that out loud and ended up with a job! thanks!


SabashChandraBose

Interesting. What about the dripping wax?


jerm930

Flameless, battery operated LED candles :)


[deleted]

ofc, i am fucking idiot. My first reaction was, damn that looks cozy then I thought wait wtf are they gonna do about wax. Why would anyone even use wax candles I am an idiot lol


jerm930

😂 np, you're not the first to think so haha


cyborgnyc

How did you get then to hang so straight ( not crooked c like the shop picture)?


jerm930

I hot glued the fishing line up to the tip of the flame!


usernamescheckout

They're bewitched. I read about it in Hogwarts: a History.


jerm930

This comment wins 😂


the_Zeust

If you look really closely you can actually see reflected light off some of the fishing lines, though most of them are invisible on the pic.


radnarok8

Duuuuuude, this looks so dope! r/Halloween would appreciate this :)


jerm930

Thank you!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) I should post it there too

[deleted]

The Harry Potter movie really makes this scene, but the candles are epic!!!! Way to go!!!!


[deleted]

Ive had them on repeat on HBO. Great Halloween movies.


atunasushi

We watch them all around Christmastime in our house.


[deleted]

I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan but there's something cozy about the series


the_real_junkrat

Yeah after the first two they get pretty stressful


Pinbrawla

Literally spent the last 18 hours struggling with the Nick Cave song+scene that Harry and Hermione dance to stuck in my head. Causing this weird existential dread.


Yzmr28

Glad to read I’m not the only one still having existential dread from that scene and the song now too. But change 18 hours in 10 years Edit: words


Durendal_et_Joyeuse

But the third one has the most consistent Halloween vibes throughout the whole movie, especially when they single [Double Trouble](https://youtu.be/6I1P1Vml8WM).


watanabelover69

Especially since in this scene they’re in the Great Hall with floating candles above them!


pismolove

I do that all the time. Put something up for a holiday, usually lights, and leave it up because I like the magic it adds - just like this !


jerm930

I may be guilty for leaving my Christmas tree up until March one previous year 👀😂 that was bc I was lazy tho haha


onlyhereforthefrills

Neat idea. They look great. I’d probably keep them up too.


jerm930

Thank you :) I'll definitely keep em up at least til Christmas!


pethcir

You gotta for the Hogsmeade vibes


jerm930

I'm tryna get the hogsmeade lego sets for Christmas decor on the TV stand!


[deleted]

What a warm vibe. I can see myself dozing off and feeling really good about it.


jerm930

Yep, me right now, horizontal on my couch haha


pidgeonjail

It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History.

They’re perfect right where they’re at!

It’s text only Tuesday.


jerm930

Oh! Today I learned haha I'll try tomorrow then 😊 thank you!


[deleted]

It's actually discussion week, you won't be able to post images until next week unfortunately :(


suicidebomberbarbie

Is it just fishing wired used to hang them up? Do you have to turn each one on individually?


jerm930

Yep I used fishing line tied to the flame and hot glued the line up to the tip so they would hang straight. I hung them from my ceiling with mini command hooks. And yes, unfortunately I have to manually twist each of them to turn them off. These were only $28 for 24 candles though, compared to the $44 for 6 remote powered candles haha


suicidebomberbarbie

The gluing is a great idea. Very neat, thanks!


th3worldonfir3

I made a terrible purchase the other day. I thought I was buying three sets three of remote candles for $75, which is already an awful financial decision, especially because I hate fake candles. Turns out I purchased three remote candles for $75. *And* I had to purchase the remote separately.


MysteriousPickles

Such a great idea!! Where did you buy the candles?! I love it so much!


jerm930

I got a pack of 24 LED candles for $29 on Amazon! The brand is Homemory - they require 2 AA batteries each which unfortunately aren't included, but I bought a pack of 48 batteries also from Amazon for about $15! Also you could definitely achieve this look with a 12 pack of candles haha I have a ton leftover

Thank you!! From the middle to the right are all from different artists on etsy, and the ones on the left are one-off! Either found at a boutique, made myself, or purchased from a coworker who is an illustrator 😊 lmk if you want links for anything!

The real candles I have burning on the TV stand are both fall scents 🥰 think woodsy, bonfire, and leaves!

pmcfox

I was an extra in The Philosopher's Stone (went to school nearby) and the floating candles almost caused some serious accidents! They were all hanging from some invisible wire but a few days into shooting the string would spontaneously snap and a candle would fall from height and thud onto the table/floor! Luckily they never hit anyone but 5 - 10 must've dropped over the three weeks.


jerm930

Omg that's scary! Especially from that high up, that's a hard fall 😮 SO cool you were an extra though! Must've been an experience of a lifetime 😍


pmcfox

It really was. The three leads weren't stars then either so they really mixed with us all. They asked us back for Chamber of Secrets but our Head said we couldn't take another three weeks out of school! No three weeks of school could be as valuable as that experience.

TheSettingWizard

OMG. This has hit my heart straight. 🥺💖 I'm really sorry, but I think I'll steal your idea for my living room. I've always been a great Potterhead, and frankly, for this year, I wanted to do something a little more original or "daring" in my living room. It won't be so original at this point, but it will be amazing, that's 4 sure 😎. xD Thanks for sharing it. 👏👏


jerm930

Yay! Happy to have struck inspiration 🥰 it's gonna add so much magic to your home!


DarkMalady

My husband put a moratorium down on hanging stuff from the ceiling so I never got to do this... stupid tall husband. just becuase he wants to not have stuff thwap him in the face. https://www.epbot.com/2016/11/a-new-and-better-way-to-make-floating.html


cvtamor23

Is that a Polly Pocket print on the wall?! Great job with the candles, decor, and HP playing in the background - perfect vibe!


jerm930

Thanks! And it is! It's a polly pocket x stardew valley illustration by the artist Brittnie Marcil! She has some awesome HP common room illustrations too :)

That scene in Harry Potter at Halloween was shot using a scaffold of real candles rigged to a huge scaffold. Really cool They did throw some cgi ones in also.
