It might seem like a small thing, but sometimes it annoys to the point of no return. My client, after having me create a custom painting for her new home, was annoyed at how the builder left white plug plates and switch plates in her slate tiled kitchen. She asked me for a suggestion, not knowing that I do all kinds of faux painting, faux bois, faux marble, stone, and trompe l'oeil. I suggested that I come over and paint her switch plates to look like her slate. She was dubious, but after one plate being painted she was a believer, and happy happy happy. Sometimes it is the little touches that make or break good design or a nice congruent look. Look below for the outcome to this switch faux pax.

Home office - mid-sized traditional home office idea in New York

Exclusive Poggenpohl logo interior is easy to clean (and keep clean), adjustable shelves lock into place, subtle shelf pin covers seal and protect. Overall, a very clean interior. Shown here is the integrated Blum lift-up door switch.

Unpainted, plastic covers would have stood out on this tile backsplash. By painting to match the tile, all but the outlets/switches themselves disappear.

Eichler in Marinwood - The primary organizational element of the interior is the kitchen. Embedded within the simple post and beam structure, the kitchen was conceived as a programmatic block from which we would carve in order to contribute to both sense of function and organization. photo: scott hargis

Living room - modern living room idea in Atlanta

We switched the living room and dining room so that the client could host large dinner parties and be able to extend the dining room table to its maximum. We created a cozy piano sitting room in the dining room using a fabulous antique chandelier inherited from his mother to light up this beautiful space.
