When I wrote about my laundry room after it was finished I got a comment recommending to get a motion sensor controled light in there. It was such a great piece of advice!
Now when I come downstairs with my filled to the brim hamper the light goes on automatically like magic!
It's that little globe like thing on the wall that does it. I got it from Clas Ohlson and
had my electrican install it when he did some other work. You can adjust it so the light stays on a short or a little longer time. If you happen to stay in there longer than normal (I've set it at a few minutes) you just need to move about and it goes on again. So picture me sewing in there and suddenly waving my arms, sort of thing :).
And YES, it's finally Friday! I'll be working on the mystery project this weekend and hope to reveal at least bits of it next week! Happy weekend, friends!

I do the same arm-waving-dance at work, when the light goes out after too many minutes in the same position. Kind of a modern twist to the classical “paus-gympa” 🙂
That is cool, funny and absolutely logical!!
We have one in my parents’ cabin, it lights up when you get to the front yard. It’s very handy.
In previous workplace I also needed to wave my hands from time to time, funny.
Those lights are just genious! We’re about to get one into our cleaning closet.
Happy weekend! I’m curious to see what you’re up to!
smart. i could have used one the day i fell down the stairs! xx
Ouch!
Automagically! One of my friend’s favourite words 🙂
” So picture me sewing in there and suddenly waving my arms” – just a little exercise so that you don’t get tired of bending over your machine :-).
We have one of those lights in the entrance hallway. Trevlig helg!
Cool! I’ve been meaning to install one in my hallway. People forget to switch it off.
They are fun…we have them at work. Every once in a while they go out (while you are reading email) and I’ll see someone waving their arms and they pop back on. Saves so much energy when they leave the room!
Sometimes it would happen when my students were gathered on the floor for storytime. That’s when I could tell it was a really good story for them–nobody moved!
Super practical. I will definitely be tuning in for the ‘mystery project’.
We have a few motion sensor lights on the outside of our home but I would of never thought of using one in the house. Clever, very clever! Have a great weekend.
We have a motion sensor light in our apartment complex’s laundry room. I’ve had to do a little shuffle dance once or twice after folding laundry for such a long time without moving much! Great idea to implement it in your own home.
Good luck this weekend, can’t wait to see the mystery project revealed. 🙂
Love the image of you waving your arms about 🙂 Happy Friday everyone! Looking forward to the mystery reveal Benita!!
What about cats, do they turn it on?
“So picture me sewing in there and suddenly waving my arms, sort of thing :).”
Great against back pain.
Have a nice weekend 🙂
They probably do, I haven’t checked…
You are advertising sexy Asian girls (“Thaimatches”) on your design blog? How desperate are you for money?
Thank you for letting me know. I have Google back up ads to the ones provided by Martha’s Circle and they are supposed to provide relevant ads to my content but apparently there’s been a mistake made here. I don’t see all the ads for all the countries myself but I will try to block these ones ofcourse.
That is fun:D
have a nice weekend~
