A Vintage English Transferware Switch Plate

I know this is a super small change in my dining room, but I love it.  I found a red transferware switch plate cover to swap out with the plastic one that was there originally.  I love finding unique transferware pieces!

Before:


After:





I found a few different companies online that offer all kinds of decorative outlet covers and switch plates.  I'm hoping to find more of the transferware ones...something else to be on the lookout for.



To express the the things of the spirit in visible form:
it's my belief that our spirits are most honestly expressed not by sofas, curtains, and carpets, but by the stack of favorite mysteries and gardening books on a side table, flowers on the windowsill, or percelains displayed in the dining room.  These telling details- our objects, bibelots, whatnots, and knickknacks- say the most about who we are.  They are as honest as a diary.
