Does this outlet look right?
Comments (20)I walked around my house out of curiosity and wherever there is an outlet on the wall near a switch they are exactly the same height. I cannot imagine them being differently and I would simply tell the electrician that you would prefer the outlet to be even with the triple switches. Many electricians will take the easy way out and they are simply not into aesthetics. When we built, our GC had to go around and straighten up almost every outlet on backsplash because they were definitely not lined up properly. The GC wouldn't allow the electrician to hang our expensive chandeliers because he said it would take forever to clean the crystals from his grimey hands. That is a triple gang switch, right? There will be a third switch added to that box?...See MoreDoes this look right?
Comments (16)Thank you all! So weird that the pic shows upside down on my desktop but right side up on my iPad (which is where I posted it from). Sorry about that. And thank you for rotating it Aries61. While I agree about ending it at the cabinet box, I left it as is. I figured that would probably be something that only I notice and hopefully no one else (besides educated GWer's of course!). Thanks for the tip about the caulk, Trebruchet. What is the reasoning for that? It must have something to do with moisture? kitchen-reno, the tiles are a gray crackle tile from Tile Daily. Took forever to find the right shade of gray but I am really happy with the tile, the price ($14.95/sq ft), and the free shipping!...See MoreDoes this Ballard light look right? lots of PICS
Comments (13)The fixture is gorgeous.. love the metal leaves and the crystals! It's a great combination. Are you sure it is supposed to have a globe or cover? I am having a hard time imagining how it would work with the crystals in there too. I could be wayyyyy off base (it's happened before heh) but I think the openness is part of the design. I would not want my bulbs and wires etc to show-- but is it possible that you are looking at it too closely when you see the bulbs and works? We all do that--look at stuff way more closely than others would. I'd do a test.. stay away from it for awhile then walk back in the door-- do you see it right away? Is it the first thing you notice? What about others? Is it still as obvious now that the sun has set? It is a lovely light-- a great combo of materials-- but if you aren't happy with it, it's going to nag you everytime you walk in that door. Send end it back....See MoreSwapping table for a fireplace? good idea or does it look right?
Comments (7)If the electric fireplace you're looking at is the one pictured, I'd say do it! It would fit right in with the transitional style of your stair balusters and I like the location you have for it. It's a decor element more than anything and will look way more interesting than the little table you have there now....See MoreLynn
