Our home is filled with unique items, distressed finishes and vintage charm. It is a place we always want to retreat to and spend time together.
One of the items I like to use in our home is
VINTAGE SWITCH PLATES
They have definitely helped me create a unique feeling in
our home. They won my heart and have such
excellent vintage character. They can add a special touch in
many rooms especially when I update them.
In the kitchen I have a unique double switch plate in the shape of a crest, crown included. It is made of resin which means it is a newer piece but I found it at a thrift store, the original retail price was still on it for $36.
WOW! I had to trim and re-drill the holes to line up properly,
probably why it was at the thrift store.

On the counter I have this unique outlet cover I purchased at
a vintage market. The vendor had painted it in the perfect
crème color that coordinated just right with my back splash.
A short time later I found a matching plate
perfect for the light switch on the other side.
OVER-SIZED PLATES
Above is a style of plate created to cover a larger hole. Originally there was a double switch plate in this spot but I found that one of the switches wasn't hooked up to anything. I removed the existing double plate and replaced it with this over sized single plate that is big enough to cover the hole.
