Home Improvement Fun

I found the coolest things at Jabo Ace Hardware. They are outlet and switch covers. The cool thing is they are textured like your walls so they disappear. They come in three differnt textures or smooth. They are primed and ready paint unlike the regular plastic covers that your house has. They are about 2 dollars which is nice seeing as we paid about 9 dollars for the oil rubbed bronze metals ones we have in the house. The one thing this company needs to do is make one for cable outlets. They have blank ones but you have to drill your own holes. They are called Invisiplate and they are made by a company called Plaztex. www.plaztex.com . They are really cool. I have Doug busy doing little projects. We just bought some brown outlets to replace the white ones were we have oil rubbed bronze covers. Looks great. No more white outlets with brown covers.

Can you see the light switch?

This is what it looks like up close

Hi, Rachel. I was wondering how your textured switch plates have been working for you. I've been wanting to paint my switch plates to match my walls. I'm just afraid dirt and grime would end up getting into the crevaces or cleaning would end up discoloring the paint or making it rub off.
