We just had a new electrical box installed (not centered, and kind of high on the wall) I just learned to applique (love it), and I also love to hand embroidery. I'm VERY traditional (which limits my choices). I love hearts. FAT ONES. Not the skinny primatives. O.K. I like the primatives, too, but I'm fat, so I like all my stuff fat....Santas, Snowmen, Hearts, Angels, etc. Makin' a statement, there. Anybody have any fav pics to share?

Are you talking about a circuit breaker box? I'd be hesitant to cover it in anything that would delay getting it open in an emergency. I'd stick with a nice, non-flammable paint.

yea, never thought of that. it's just so ugly and obvious. thanks

Do you mean a breaker box? It shouldn't be on a wall where people can be near it. Breaker boxes can explode. That's why they are always in a utility room or garage. Never stand in front on one when flipping a breaker, stand to one side. (I use to work for an electrical generating plant). I taught my kids never to flip a breaker standing in front of the box.

We put a cork bulletin board over ours.....

One thing to consider, if the breaker box does explode or spark enough, is anything in front of it catches on fire then the fire will spread. All breaker boxes have metal doors that need to be kept closed and latched. Check you homeowners ins. Many will not cover electrical fire damage if it is proven to be owner's negligence, box not approved, wrong location, not state licensed electrician installed, and many other factors. You don't need to hear that after an electrical fire! Home safety is number one on my list.

How about painting a 'quilt?'
