She has a fairly simple way of disguising the cables an sockets... They need to either A) match the wallpaper (on a dark gilded floral pattern, they are dark brown or gold, where the pattern happens), and in the newly renovated and restored rooms, she has very elegant glass pieces, where only the light switch is of solid material, and it is in fact era-appropriately designed for the late 19th century electric wiring, although not as clumsy as the original. I'm afraid I cannot find the exact one, but they have the same mechanism as these guys http://www.housevira.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/antique-light-switch-by-Fede-525x337.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32857490.post-74675891851437560492011-01-24T00:14:43.116-08:002011-01-24T00:14:43.116-08:00Wow, that prospect is awsome!!!
