Leviton Almond Duplex Wall Plate problem

[steelersman]

yep, thats how I pictured it, looks good!

I'd still rather have all white in that log home even if it was mine. It gives it a crisp fresh linen vibe!

Wait until you do a log home.

I'm still waiting to trim out the one I roped last month. I have no idea what they are going to want for receptical covers. They make all kinds of fancy "woodsie" ones.

If they want anything other than plastic/nylon, they'd better pay for it.

This small problem became a major issue for us. We had a lot of complaints! That, the Leviton looked light green, to yellow or they did not match from one to another. I have stopped using Leviton all together. I switched to P&S because the Lutron dimmer are exact match. Also there Almond is much nicer and there screw less plate are really nice.

I spray paint custom colors for all my device plates.

The plates are, however the P&S resi grade stuff is made in any of three places: US, China and Mexico. You have to check the fine print on the box, but it seems like most of it is from China now.

Sorry. I drove down to the couple's place 60 miles away, switched it, took a picture, drove back, and posted it.

And I decided the coax and phone jacks should be swapped, so . . .

Oh my goodness. You're not one of those "install the receptacle upside down or ground slot up are you?" I can't figure you guys out. If you want to do it in commercial fine. But in a house unless it's your own you should avoid doing that. Don't try to make a home look like an institution. There is no good reason to do that!! Very ugly.

But white receptacles in a log home WOULD NOT be ugly.

YOUR way is not the only way.

not as long as they're installed right side up. Or ground prong down.

Now, can you put a register on the floor on the duct outlet?:smile:
