You know it's the dead of winter in upstate New York when you're so bored, you start decorating your switchplates.
What's that? Why yes, yes I DO have way too much time on my hands. But at least the switchplates look pretty.

Love it!
I like the idea, but my house is so well built I'm afraid to remove the switch plates for fear the switches will fall down.
Where did you get the pictures? I especially like the unicorn one.
Love them. You could moonlight as an interior design person.....with the clients' understanding that ANYTHING GOES. ("Had you considered the ambient effect of a LIVE BLUEJAY roosting, oh, say, over here?")
Am thinking that "switchplates" is one of those words that kids of the near future will not know....progress, ya know.
Thanks, Becs!
~~Silk, there's always that moment of doubt, after I've pulled the screws and am about to slide a knife behind the plate to pop it off the wall, where I'm all, "do I really want to do this?"
The pics all came from old art books I got at flea markets - the unicorn one was from a large-size paperback (with a Metropolitan Museum of Art price tag from August of 89 still on it) about the unicorn tapestries from the Cloisters. Very interesting.
(and do I feel a pang cutting up books, even thrift store books, for decorative purposes? Oh yeah. But I figure I'll look at the painting way more on the switchplate than I ever would if it was still in the book.)
and Ginny, I could always bill myself as an Outsider Art Interior Decorator. Ha.
I found an article for you!

I can hear Silk tee-heeing to herself all the way down here in Virginia.......
as I'm sure Ginny and James know, once you've experienced c-diff, you will be the recipient of every poop joke ever invented.
Love the article - "Poop! Saving Lives!" Ha.
