cristeta1,

Welcome to the forum.

You can do this yourself but... you better do some reading first.

You will need to have access to run a wire to your light switch location and then from there to the location of the sconces. If you have a removable ceiling/ unfinished ceiling below or attic space above this helps, otherwise you are going to also be learning about drywalling and painting.

It might be worth getting a quote from a couple of people to see if it makes more sense to have someone else do it for you. Also you would get some idea from them as to how difficult it is going to be.

Please seach the forum to get tips and suggestions. If you want help with a specific step of the process please post back and we can walk you through this.

Good luck, Jim
