Flickr Finds: Jess2Nola's Framed Light Switches

What a cute idea! It appears that Jess2Nola used a graphic paper, a simple yellow frame, and a cork panel to add some artistry to her everyday light switches. We're not entirely sure why the cork is there (to hang notes?) but we still think it looks sweet.

More on Jess2Nola's "Bathroom Mini Cure" after the jump...

Besides the charming detail of the framed switches, Jess2Nola also recently found the ideal shower curtain at Target:

...out of nowhere the sky parted and god himself placed the most perfect black and white striped fabric shower curtain right in front of me with a price tag of $25.

For more photos of the bathroom and lots other design fodder, go check out her aptly-named blog, Black.White.Yellow.

Thanks for tagging your photos with apartmenttherapychicago, Jess2Nola!

I would put a note on the cork to roommates that said: TURN OFF THE DAMN LIGHTS WHEN YOU LEAVE A ROOM.

I love it, it's not my style but the light switch is very cool and shows some creative thinking. Looks great!

Creative I guess, but not too practical. Most light switches are not in the middle of a wall like the one in the picture, but on or near a wall edge, making a frame that large impossible. All my switches are about 2" from a wall edge.

Also, it looks like the cork plus the frame has left very little of the actual switch sticking out -- less to grab onto.

Thanks for featuring my bathroom!

Actually, griffin the switches only have a layer of paper behind them, so they stick out just as much as any other switch, making it perfectly functional!

Thanks again!
