Adding switched outlet from Ceiling fan light kit

[theeld]

In attempt to add to light in our master bedroom with minimum amount of wire snaking etc, I yesterday transformed one receptacle of an existing outlet to be powered from wiring common to the lighting kit for the ceiling fan. I am hoping I did it correctly. Attached is a diagram of what wiring was present at the start.

I simply ran additional 14-2 from the Red and White (neutral?) wires from the ceiling fan box, down the wall, to one receptacle in my existing outlet, connecting Black to Red, White to White at ceiling fan junction, then White to Silver, Black to Gold terminals at outlet. The floor lamp that plugs into the outlet now is operated by the same switch that controls the ceiling fan light.

Electrically that would work the question on code would be is the ceiling fan box large enough (for fill space) to be a junction box as well as the fan connections

I have a spot in my house where I want to do the same. Subscribing for other responses.

Wouldve been alot easier to just get a remote fan kit

What about the ground wire? I assume u connected that as well. If so then you did fine.
