Custom Switchplate Order
Virginia N.
November, 2001
|
Virginia wanted to decorate her entire house with custom-designed
switchplates. She ordered switchplates in different color schemes
for the rooms listed below. I prepared the following order page when
I was finished, so that she could select from the designs I prepared
especially for her.

II was afraid this plate might be too bright for the
customer's formal living
room, but she loved it. |
|
I gave the customer three color choices for the living room
plate are shown in this picture, next to the dining room plate (for
reference). Although the one in the top right corner looks kind of pinkish
on-screen, it is, in fact, pearl. |

|
|
I used the same cane on two doubles. The one on the
left has a gradiated green background, while the one on the right is on a
darker background. |

Den
- Standard Single Switchplate; Standard Plug Cover
- Beige, Sienna, Blue Pearl
|
I gave the customer two from which to choose. I had a hard
time shooting them, as I forgot to photograph BEFORE glazing. Hence,
I provided multiple shots |
|
Another shot of the pair |
|
This has a beige background. |
|
Although you can barely tell in the photo, the background of
this plate gradiates from sienna to umber. |
|
I made matching plug covers with this order This one
matches the plate with the beige background.. |
|
This matches the other plate. |

Hallway
- Double-sized plate: One Regular, One Wide
- Blue Pearl, Alizarin Crimson, Beige
|
|
I gave the customer a choice of plates adorned with cane
slices: one had a marbled blue background, and the
other had a beige gradiated background. Both are adorned with various
cane slices in your chosen color schemes. |
- 1 double Plate
- 1 Single-sized, wide/slide plate
- Blue, Maroon, Beige, Pearl
|
I did this set first. The background is beige.
It is adorned with slices from 2 canes in blue, maroon, beige, and pearl. |
 |
After finishing the above set, I did this wide/slide.
The background is 1/2 blue and 1/2 beige. It's adorned with cane
slices in gold/alizarin crimson, blue/pearl, and blue/alizarin
crimson/beige. The customer loved it, and both it and the above set.. |

A customer can always request that ANY plate to be redone if he/she is not
satisfied with a
custom design. In this case, the customer actually purchased MORE
switchplates than originally offered. Where given a choice, she wanted
them all!
