About a year ago I decided to liven up my kitchen. It already had a nice counter top with a stainless steel sink, new fixtures and cabinets and was recently painted. It looked fantastic compared to what it looked like before the remodel was done. But after a year or so it seemed to look plain to me again. It needed something else but I just didn’t know what. I contemplated on repainting the kitchen but decided otherwise. Then while visiting a friend’s home, I notied the tile backsplash in their kitchen. At that moment, I knew that was what my kitchen needed.
I decided to put up a travertine stone tile as a backsplash. After I had installed the tile, I went to go put on the switch plates. I hadn’t even thought about what I would do for the switch plates so I put the old white ones back on. It looked horrible! I couldn’t believe that I was ruining such a good looking kitchen. What I really needed was some travertine stone switchplates. When I went to the tile store to find matching stone switchplates, I was very surprised to see such a selection of different stone switchplates. They had marble, granite, travertine, slate, quartz, onyx and imitation stone switchplates. I found the perfect matching stone switchplates and came home.
I was very excited to see the backsplash with the new stone switchplates and outlet covers. I couldn’t believe the difference that they made. The kitchen looked completely different and a huge part of that was from the stone switchplates. The difference between the white plastic and travertine stone switchplates was night and day.
I’m glad that I went to my friend’s house that one day to get the idea of doing a stone tile backsplash. I’m even more grateful that the tile shop had the perfect matching stone switchplates. Now I can enjoy my kitchen to it’s fullest. It feels complete and I can thank the stone switchplates for that.
