My concern about Ryland Homes is that it is very beautiful but very costly and not enough square footage and that's the ugly part.

Irvine Artist Makes Then Invisible, well almost.


When Irvine artist Jayne Harrison re-modeled her kitchen, replacing white tiles with granite counter tops and splash-backs, she was not a happy camper.

The granite looked absolutely fabulous but staring straight back at Jayne were 8 ugly white switchplates. The builders could not have located them more conspicuously if they tried.

The only advice she received was, “ replace them with wooden or metal switchplates “ but Jayne had different plan in mind.

Using her artistic skills she painted each plate to match the surrounding granite.

Since forming Invisibleswitchplates, Jayne has realized that they are lots of ugly white switchplates out there currently being camouflaged by coffee machines, recipe books or plants.

I need HELP! I had my Ranch Home renovated in Sept. 2006 by a Contractor from HELL! He has started many jobs and finished NONE. My home is a wreck! I added on 18 - 25 feet to the rear. I enlarged my kitchen and Master bedroom and knocked down a wall in the Den. The Contractor is moving so slow (Spent the money trying to flip another home)! Anyway, he will show up and do very little work. On May 5, 07 he had the coils layed and mud was covered over it. I have been waiting over a month for the floor to be layed. Now, i am waiting for the tile to be placed on the floor in the Kit. & bathroom. Plus, doors, fixtures, lights, and electrical outlets do not work. He promised to build racks/cabinets in two of the newly remodeled closets. He is the Contractor from HELL!!
Can you HELP me get this job completed before Sept.07?
