Fish Dish-tips and suggestions

Welcome to Fish Dish where we will be serving up thoughts and suggestions on a smattering of topics.

   Accessorize with switch plates

   As these before and after images show  
   switch plates make a world of difference
   in your home's decor. After taking the 
   time and making the effort to paint and
   display your cherished treasures don't
   let  an old switch plate be a distraction.

 

 

 

 

 

   Instead of being a bland necessity, a well
   chosen switch plate enhances the
   warmth of your home.

 

   Click here for hints on choosing paint
   colors.

 

 

 

 

 

   While the plain metal switch plate
   is a upgrade over plastic, our decorative
   switch plates offer much more pizzazz.

   All our switch plates are oversized which
   make them perfect for use on tiles and
   granite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Since your entry is where you'll welcome  
  your guests this is a perfect place for a
  personal touch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Copper is "Green"

   Copper is a precious metal that is
   recycled. 75% of the copper refined by
   copper mills comes from copper scrap.

   We have the solution

   We certainly understand the need to fix
   an unattractive situation such as this.
   We suggest replacing your existing
   switches with uniform decora switches.
   It's easy to do! Click here for detailed
   instructions. When you have uniform
   switches you can use any of our beautiful
   switch plates. Shown here is damask
   from our Latte Collection. So much nicer!

 

   For useful, easy-to-follow instructions
   on home repair projects we recommend
   the Ortho's All About series.

 


  Need electricals switches?

   We purchased our switches at Lowes   
   and  Home Depot. Here are other sites 
   that offer harder to find switches and
   designer colors.

  These beauties will floor you

  These are copper tiles we produce 
   exclusively for WalkerZanger. Called
   Patine, the designs are etched into
   copper just like our switch plates and
   then wrapped around backer board.
   The warm, inviting tones work well in
   many applications from back splashes
   to flooring. To view our products on their
   on-line catalog, choose metal tiles, then
   PATINE, after clicking here.
