The lady I bought from was CeaCeas. I've purchased other ones here and there, but was never liked the lines in the finish, the backs are all so horribly messy and although they don't show you can tell a lot about someone's craftsmanship when they can be messy but chose not to. That's what I liked about this lady's plates, plus her finish is the best finish yet that I've seen on a switchplate. I emailed her once I had my plates and asked her where did she get her finish at and guess what she told me? That her husband manufactured her very own finish. She needs to have a website. These switchplates look almost factory made. Check her out at www.etsy.com Her name is CeaCea and you;ll love her switcplates. I noticed recently some switchplates on this website called etsy.

And I have finally found the best website for you to visit. I have furnished all of my home with <a href="http://www.kyledesigns.com/category/11_home_decor.1_switchplates/" rel="nofollow">Kyle Design</a>. She has Art Deco, Craftsmen, Bamboo and even Cat and Dog switchplates. You can mix and match metal finishes to match a rooms decor and tone. She evens has other household and gift items. Her switchplates are even on some of the sites above. I have struggled with finding classy and cute switchplates for years. And I have finally found the best website for you to visit.

We have these great switchplate covers that were made by Silvestri a few years back that are sort of arty sculptural cats with women hidden in their faces and beaded tails and charms hanging off their feet - they're not polished and elegant, but they're pretty cool. At any rate, we can't find them anywhere anymore. And when we moved 3 years ago, my mom forgot to take my Raphael Chocolat vintage advertisement switchplate off the kitchen wall: GE made them a few years ago, sold them in Target, now I can't find one anywhere to replace it. It's a little bit too precious to be elegant, but I thought it was cute for a kitchen with a lot of warm tones.

The switch and outlet covers were less than a buck each at Home Depot. The vent covers were around $15. Replacing them all cost less than $75 but made a huge difference.
