website for decorative wallplates

[brantmacga]

went to install new recessed lighting in a partial kitchen remodel today.

i talked to the customer about replacing all of the devices and wallplates with something that would coordinate w/ the new tile backsplash.


she had already considered this and pointed me to this website

http://www.switchhits.com


For about $20, they sent her a sample pack of ceramic wallplates to find a color that matched up w/ her new tile; she said its credited towards her final order.

anyhow, i've been perusing their website; they have nice things.

thought i'd share.

Cool I like the push buttons. Though the switches are exspensive.

Thanks for the link LOL!

Hey, I hope your HO did not ask you to install the "humorous" wallplates! LOL

I will not link to the specific page out of respect, but you've got to check these out. Hit brantmacga's link and scroll down to humorous.

on a big house we wired they hired a faux painter to paint the receptacles and plates to match the tile they were mounted in. they came out beautiful but the price was sure to be high

I hope he used good paint because many times it comes out pretty crappy if you need to clean them.

I wonder how much it would have cost them to have a real painter do the work.

Nah. It's not as much fun when you have to do it for a living. Fortunately, that's not true for wiring.
