Searched around, and all I could find was more of the same, or just plastic expense, and a slew of etsy instructions for how to adapt your own. Lots of découpage. So, I thought, I have stuff, I have glue... .
I have imagination. And tape. Looked around, and after a few external forays, I also realized I have origami paper. And foil tea wrappers. And it doesn't have to be perfect, just colorful, and unique.
We see these as ephemeral, easily changed, impermanent. Bits of paper, disposable, if interesting, wrappers repurposed.
Little things.

Great idea though I don't think my wife would approve. She prefers a clean classic look.
Phil,
Understood. I figured out why these bugged me so much. They are identical to the ones at work. So, yeah, institutional.
I have a friend who makes wonderful switchplate covers---I have some that I don't need and when my body and brain spring back from feeling flattened by my new job (which I LOVE), I will send you one.
Fresca,
Sounds lovely. But I'm all covered, and I like the slapdashedness of it all.
