Thanks, and I’m glad you found the post! Stop by again!

I agree, painting those sockets is not the way to go. I don’t think there is enough sweet talkin’ in the world that would convince my husband to make the outlet and switch swaps for me. We had a real set back during a bathroom remodel involving the wiring in this old house of ours and he has vowed to tackle anything related to electricity on an as needed basis. Our opinions as to what is NEEDED varies greatly. I’m going to have to go it alone on this one! Wish me luck, I hope this old wiring doesn’t bite. ;)

Yes, I wanted to comment and say the exact same thing! I was under the impression that this kind of thing was complicated but it’s actually dead easy. We’ve been slowly replacing all the beige ones in our house with new white ones. I’ve probably replaced 30 myself. Piece of cake! Do it! Plus, the paint will never stay on these things, you’ll end up with it half scraped off after using the plugs a few times. (I’ve lived in sooo many apartments with painted sockets.)

The blue looks really amazing. Dan is right, it wouldn’t be nearly so awesome if it wasn’t over the moldings and door – it gives it a really modern look. I’m going to add this to my mental list of future ideas…

Thanks Amanda. I’ve got a date with a can of paint this weekend. I’ll keep you posted!

I’m glad for the vote of confidence. Don’t worry, we won’t blame anyone but this old wiring for shocks! Those switches will eventually get swapped out. They are making me CRAZY!

Oh yeah Dan! I almost forgot about those magic erasers! The idea of all white in my living and dining areas sounds so awesome to me. I’m afraid I’d have to MARRY Mr.Clean in order to keep up with the marks my kid, dog, cat and husband would bring. I do have an adult bedroom update on the horizon. Believe me, I WILL be sleeping in the Matrix shortly.

*Please do not let this comment serve as reason to come back and blame me for any shocks (shocks you will not get)!

White is great! And when they do scuff, MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASERS. Seriously the most amazing invention. We have matte white walls in narrow high-traffic areas and Mr. Clean makes it possible.

Good to be back, Friend!

Don’t you just love that Balmy Seas color, Hannah! I thought it was a great alternative to purple or pink for a little girls room. I hope your weekend project goes off without a hitch!

Thanks Jessica! I sometimes get so stoked about exclamation marks too! It’s hard to hold back when things are awesome and you want everyone to know about it.

Love it, and love that you’re back in the saddle.
