This is too funny, Cindy! I can't say I've ever seen wallpaper on the 
light switches and sockets yet.

I'm all for paint, too, in fact at the moment I'm in the middle of 
painting the bathroom "Duck's Egg Blue," which in the picture has a 
cottage-by-the-seashore look. At the moment though, it looks more 
like the master bedroom in the Brady Bunch--you know, 70's sky blue? 
Why do they never look like the picture?!? 

I don't care, though--all the tape is up and the corners painted so 
there's no turning back :).  Jen
