Kitchen Improvements

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

We had new countertops installed about a month ago. I've started going around the kitchen replacing the electrical outlets and light switches. I've been replacing those generic white ones with these bronze colored ones I found at Lowe's with faceplates to go along with. It's coming out really nice. It's amazing how minor, inexpensive improvements like this can really add to the look of a room.

No, but the generic white outlet laying on the counter is what was there.

If you are, they better be GFIC outlets otherwise, they don't meet code and you are just wasting your time worried about pretties.

It took a sledge hammer to replace an electrical outlet?

Little stuff like that makes a big difference, for sure.
