"House-Magazine-Worthy "

I'm painting the interior of the house we just moved into with Kilz Tribute (very good quality paint). After cleaning out some dirty old switchboards, I couldn't face the thought of putting those disgusting things back on the new walls! So I decided to upgrade them with a stainless steel replacement. The old ones were different sizes and different materials and there were a few dents in the walls that were visible when I installed the standard size panels. Instead of sanding and repainting, this seemed like a time-saving practical solution. At first I was concerned they might look ridiculous so I just ordered a discounted pair that were 'used'. The best word to describe the result: WOW! You look absolutely amazing! I want to buy all the wall panels in this size. You don't look weird at all. They actually "supposedly" appear to be that size. And above all, they are really cool. They offer a polished, finished effect that feels (as I call it) "like a home magazine." Holes in the drywall and there are small gaps around a few outlets. We hope they will be just as impressive as the switch plates! Note: There were no screws in my kit. I suspect this is because I bought them in "used" condition. They were also covered in fingerprints, which I was able to quickly and easily remove with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
