painting light switches
For those who have asked about painting the light switches, outlets, and trim in the same color as the wall in the basement family room, this post is for you! Before I ever put a roller on the wall, I envisioned the walls and trim painted the same color. The rest of my house has white trim as a frame to blue/gray walls or wallpaper/starched fabric, but I want this room to have a Gentleman’s Library sort of vibe. I’m sure that many gentleman’s libraries have white trim, but I imagined this room with moody blue walls and trim. There are a lot of different finishes and colors happening in the space right now and painting it all one color (but different sheens) will remove those visual distractions. As an aside, if I thought we were going to live in this house “forever”, I would want to clad the walls
