Pregnant and nesting, I’m bothered by our lack of efficient light switches. Our retard landlords turned the garage into a master bedroom before we moved in and did a frighteningly terrible job. No light switches ANYWHERE.

We have to cross the entire room in the dark to turn on the light, and I’ve hated it since we moved in. We do, however, have 4 outlets in the room- 1 of which I would like to hook up to a light switch. But how?

I’m no electrician- but I have installed my share of dimmer switches and fixtures and know how respect electricity. Thanks in advance for your advice!
I already have those lights that you turn on/off with a foot switch… it’s just an enormous hassle.

Just imagine- a prego dancing around in the dark searching for the switch, stepping on the cat, dirty laundry, tripping herself… it’s not a happy sight.
