You really can take on the general contractor role and save big on your building and remodeling projects. In this video, we share with you how we installed a three piece crown molding with indirect lighting behind it. It's an inexpensive project that can totally change the look of any room. - Навчання та стиль
Great video, I have used a Trim-Tex 5" Glue On Crown Molding (with light channel) it basically is all three pieces you showed with a built in channel for 1/2" rope light.
I did this in my living room 16 years ago. It looked great and was a real feature when I sold the house. Indirect lighting is awesome.
+peggyt1243 Do you like the low voltage strip light? waterproof one. maybe you can look here:

How did you clean the lighting strip?
Very nice! I had always wanted to know how to do this. My grandmother had this in her kitchen and I always thought it was very relaxing.
my first impression was woow I know how to do that .... that's the beauty about trim finish carpentry is that it has no limits ... love the video
..keep it up
Thank you
The lighting gives the crown molding a very dramatic look, very nice!
Excellent indirect lighting. Excellent project. Watching here with full support from Canada 🇨🇦.
This turned out awesome. Now it’s my favorite room in the house! Thanks!
Nice classes,Beautiful work! I like all of the work job's well done,it's great to see that is nothing turn in to something
I'm remodeling a house that will be available for rent soon. ...I can't wait to do this on the master bedroom. ...my tenants are gonna luv it ;-) thanks for the video. ..great job. ..
this is so awesome and creates a cool effect to house for a low budget thanks a lot for sharing
Didn’t think about painting the inside of the trim. Great advice! Thanks.
My only complaint about this video is that I didn't see it before remodeling my house. The concept is fantastic which makes me even more depressed I've already completed crown molding throughout the house. Great video!
Nice job, I think the build up looked pretty good even before you put the crown up.
This video is so underrated! I'm planning on doing something similar since I bought a house and realized I didn't have any recessed lighting in my living room / no attic space since there is a room sitting on the top.
Thanks for the nice comment.
I like the accent lighting. Makes the interior of the home look more expensive, high end. I found that after about 2-1/2 years, incandescent rope lights will show signs of overheating and blackening if left on for long periods of time such as a night light. It was mounted in a similar fashion as this video shows. So, don't use it as a night light. I wouldn't leave them on for more than about 2-3 hrs at a time. I would go with LEDs from my experience.
wow great job
I like using christmas lights, those 50/100 lights on a string. I just set them up in the crevice and, after 3 years, they still work. But then again I don't keep them on night & day. Just a few hours a night
How bad is the dust collecting?
@@daug1783 Probably rough but I wonder if you could put some kind of clear cover over top
all i can say is wonderful, i will try this. thank you Brian
One word, actually two words: that's beautiful!
Amazing works. It looks simple for DIY
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Great video!
excellent work.. nice detail and perfect finish..
I wish I saw this video before I installed crown molding in my living room. I love the lighting option.
Love this idea. Exactly what I was looking for.
That's a fantastic setup, thanks for sharing it
looks awesome. I may have to do this. thanks for sharing
Love it! Great job and wonderful idea!
I had this in mind but with leds, their brighter and are only 12 volts, and their pretty nice too
I did this exact same process after I watched this video and mine still looks and works great no sagging no swelling I've repainted it once in 4 years just because I have OCD but great video and thanks for sharing...
I made a mistake for the dislike! SORRY!
I had this put in my bathroom, it looks amazing! I love to keep it on the lowest & use it as a night light. I love how the light, lights up the bathroom so evenly.. And just love the look of how you can get a different feel with it being bright or dim..
+Denise Long Shiflett the moisture is gonna screw them up overtime..
+DS channel You shouldn't have a problem if you prime any bare wood (including back side) and seal any cut edges...this will keep the moisture from being absorbed by the wood.
+Armchair Builder yes we did do that :)
+DS channel I don't think it will, the guy who did it, builds houses & has this in his bathroom for 9 yrs. no problems :)
OMG I would love to see that I bet it's so pretty.
muy bonito y facil y economico trabajo thanks bro
Amazing!!!! Thx for the demo. I'm all in!
What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
this is awesome ! great idea, many possibilities!
Hi, great video! Could you tell me the space between the top of the crown and the ceiling?
Looks great. great explanation on installing....will try
wow that looks amazing!
this is amazing!!!!! thank you so much for sharing.
I love what you are doing
Excellent job... I love it .
Very impressive work.
You could actually have it setup with Alexa, if you used the Phillips Hue light strips with extensions along with the Phillips hub. You’d of course need a Echo Dot to operate via voice, but that’s how I have my smart home setup and I love it.
Hi Jc. The bottom edge of the lowest piece of molding is about 7.5 inches from the ceiling
Great instruction and tutorial....
Cool idea, doing this project this weekend. Thanks!
excellent instructional video.
very classy 3 layer design!
2-3/4" from the ceiling to the top edge of the crown.
Are there written dimensions or directions for this project??
Eventually i would like to do that to my entire first floor lol I already have the outlet added within my tray ceiling in my foyer when i built my house. But i did not think about doing it to the whole first floor. It's gonna look amazing, i cant wait lol It's all about the resale value at the end of the day lol I also have a tv about the tub in my master bathroom.
mounted my 4.5'' crown about a half inch from the ceiling and used incandescent (the cheap ones) christmas lights on a remote control dimmer switch. I didnt install an outlet. my closet doors use to go to the ceiling so when i framed them down i left the backside open and poked a hole in the drywall to fish the wires through to where the outlet was installed in the closet. i bet your outlet idea is more up to code than mine.
Thank you for the great info!
Better late than never! Just found this june 2016. what a great idea!
I found it in 2020..
4/2021!
8/2021
So cool! I am going to do this to my house.
HOLA, ERA LO QUE ESTABA BUSCANDO,HABIA VISTO OTROS MAS COMPLICADOS Y ESTE SE ME HACE MUY FACIL, LE DIRE A MI HIJO, PUES ES MUY BUENO PARA HACER TRABAJOS DE RENOVACION, GRACIAS.
Definitely cool. I need to do this!!!
I like this video and glad I watched now to know better about the rope lights :)
Thankyou so much! This is helps me a lot ^^
good job, very impressive!
If I am using a one piece crown molding (5 1/4 inches), what is the best way to fasten this to the wall. Not sure nails at the bottom only will be enough.
excellent video..thank you.
that is AWESOME! Great Share!
Love it! I will have to add this somewhere in my house lol
Nice video! Thank you.
Very nice work
Great design vid
Great video, exactly what I’m looking to do myself. May I ask what the spacing is between the top of the crown and the ceiling?
You may want to include the materials list in the description.
Hi, that is very impressive. But can you tell me how far down from the ceiling to the edge of the first layer,(not the crown) please?
these lights are $15 for 20' at Big Lots closeout stores. it is an item they always carry.
awesome job, super nice.
'
Fantastic video. After all is said and done, about how tall is the gap between the ceiling and the top of the crown molding?
Hi. Excellent posting. I am right in the middle trying to figure out the lighting arrangements in my basement. I have a question - how do you manage potential excess lighting tube once reaching back to the end of the room?
Many thanks
Jonas
Nice ..I like that. Thank you.
I am building my first house, it will be complete in February. It is my goal to do things like this myself...but i doubt it cuz i am too lazy for all that lol I have the house built with outlets in the tray ceilings in the family room and the master bedroom, just for this.
Any ideas for a return to go back to the crown at the wall/ceiling? I can't seem to wrap my head around it!
Really nice!
Well done. Thanks.
Awesome! Thinking of doing this except to hide speaker and data cables instead of lighting. Might just throw in some LED strips while I’m at it too. Might as well. Right?
great video...thanks
Really nice
thank you
Awesome. How did you attach the moulding to the back peice? The contact area is very small, so was a nail enough?
superb i thank you very much
I love your videos! so glad I found your channel ;)
You can buy 20foot led for $12 on wish. Just buy a month ahead of time and you'll be fine. Slow ship times are worth the savings. I've done my entire 5000sqft house for under $200
Buy from aliexpress not wish
@@twiggyleaff could you sent the direct link for this product there ? skype:jose.rumbaut
@birnzy yeah
@birnzy you can buy 18ft on amazon for 18 and they arrive next day. Wish is gonna take over a month
@birnzy best of luck
I love the idea, I have a little confuse with the measures can you explained in inches, sorry I’m not a carpenter
Great idea! I'd love to do this in my kitchen and dinning area, but I wouldn't want it in the hall. How would you suggest transitioning from crown moulding against the ceiling in the halls to the crown moulding with the space between the crown and the ceiling?
My problem is that the lengths never add up the same with the rope light. I either need a few feet more or less. I’ve used LED because it can be cut to the length needed, but have had trouble with some of the LEDs going bad over time.
Thanks for the video. I will be doing this with LED in the bathroom. Additionally, I will be able to run wire for a fan that blows from my living room with the heat pump to my bedroom. Two birds with one stone
Extraordinary
Michael, Nice video! Could I suggest using Creative Crown moldings that are one piece. They are made for indirect lighting with our flat back design. Great info on the wiring. Thats very helpful.
Interesting product Glenn. What is the price per lineal foot for say 5 inch material?
Armchair Builder Michael, It cost in the low $2.00 per foot. It saves a bundle on labor. Install it on drywall, brick, stucco metal and more. It installs with painters caulk. No nailing.
fantastic!!
i like your system
Brilliant
what are the measurements/ sizes of the pieces wood used as a guide
How far down should the recessed outlet be installed?
This would look great in a home theater.

شكرا شكرا كثير
Rope light? Multi-colored LED rope tape lights are the new rave. Brighter, too!
+VanHustler Tape lights are nice...but they are typically much more expensive.
Got a nice 15 ft roll off ebay for only $13. It includes the adapter kit & remote changer with free shipping. Not the cheap chinese stuff either.
+VanHustler It sounds like you got a great deal. I will have to look for our next project. Thanks
No doubt. with the selectable multicolor LEDs, you would be set up for any occasion.
Be careful from Ebay. All my LED's for car, house, etc, are going bad in only 6 months. Now probably going to buy from Home Depot.
What is the clearance from the top of the crown to the ceiling?
Awesome
nice crown and light, now is time to replace the small door casing and baseboard lol
