Default Converting wall scone to plug-in ?

I live in an apartment and sick of tripping over wires and having to
live with dimly lit rooms. I live in a bright light that comes from
above me. Fixing anything to the ceiling is out- as I live in one of
those apartments with popcorn ceiling.

So I bought a couple of wall scones. I would like to know what I need
to get this done.

The wall scone has three wires and the home depot guys gave me a 16
guage wire and a heavy duty plug- the plug is big and butt ugly .
What are the things I need to be aware of before I attach the wall
scones wires to the 16 ga wire and the plug ? I understand that the
danger is more the otherway around when converting a lamp with zip
wires into a light fixture because the wires will be inside the wall
and all that.

I am going to mount the scones directly 5-6 feet above the socket and
attach the wires to the wall with those things you get from ikea to
coer the ugly wires.

Thanks
Anita
