I have a use for a device that would make you think twice before throwing a switch rather than preventing it. The strap link makes me think that there is probably a simple, inexpensive way to do it, but more sightly than a galvanized metal loop. Maybe find some plastic of a nice color that can be made into a loop and slip it under the screws. I did just find some commercial alternatives: http://www.littlegreenduckling.com/Child-Proof-Light-Switch-Guard/A/B0036Z0HYA.htm#.UQlOvELN-sE http://www.kidsafeinc.com/product/01729/Child-Proof-Light-Switch-Guard.html?meta=GAW&metacpg=01729 Not absolutely clear if this is a lock out or meant to slow down, but appears to be the latter: http://www.kyledesigns.com/product/TOGGLE-SWITCH-GUARDS/Electrical-Switch-Guard-Protects-Important-Switches-40460.html?meta=GAW&metacpg=TOGGLE%2dSWITCH%2dGUARDS&gclid=CM6EoJrJkLUCFdRbPAodiRYAag

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I've been searching for a vintage living room chair for months and just found this one right before Christmas (will be re-upholstered as soon as I can find a rug for the room and can reliably pick a fabric): The chair you posted is a nice chair, but it seems formal to me (as opposed to grandmother-ly). I found that most chairs of this vintage have a bit of wood on the arms, and it makes them seem uncomfortable or formal. Fully-upholstered is hard to find, and when you do find it, it's often quite wide for an old chair (this one is 37" I think). A while back, I did find a nice one on craigslist with a tight upholstered back and tight upright thin upholstered arms, but it was the wrong color and I passed on it because I was hoping to find something that I didn't have to reupholster. I'm still regretting that missed gem! So if you see one that has nice lines, I'd say snag it, regardless of the upholstery. Hope that helps in your search. Good luck...the pickings are slim around here!!

I thought I could help out but I just went to get my magazine and it is The family Handyman. I didn't know there were two different handyman mags. March cover shows outdoor projects with a water feature. Feb cover shows a bathroom with off white tile on the bottom, green tile border and light green on top. So sorry. Hope someone else has the one you need. You might look for a website for the magazine. There is a chance they will have a picture of the cover. HTH

don't mind the mess... but I'm trying to stick with mostly neutrals weights off weights Browns golds and a bit of blue. I'm not a fan of the amount of brown there is in the room but I'm working with what I have. Flo Mangan, what are your thoughts on a lacquered black chair with a white. short faux fur reupholstery.?
