When I was laying out the gallery wall on the floor, I forgot to consider the light switches towards one end which lead to making a few adjustments. And it made the switches stand out a lot more than they did previously.
Generally I like my switches and outlets to blend as best as I can which often leads me to replacing them and the cover plates with ones as close to the color of the wall they are on as I can. NOT SO HERE!
Except I think I accomplished the same thing by blinging this one out! I made it using the same methods as with this gilded frame, but instead of gilding paint, I used sheets of faux-gold leaf.
ADDENDUM: except the plate, the project is all stash. WOO!
This is a great idea.way to marry the elements!
We’ve had eyes out for the right sized frame to go around the thermostat since we changed it. Just look at this tragedy, ugh.
Thanks! It’s doing double duty of making the switch seem like a framed piece, but also filling the “gap” which is nice. I’m pleased with how well it’s working in person.
