If you have just remodeled your home and installed new switch plates to compliment the new decorating theme of the home, you might be disappointed to see the ugly cream, black or white power receptacle plugs show through the center of your switch plates. The front of the electrical sockets sticks out like a sore thumb. You can't help but notice how they ruin the look of your newly decorated home. Patti Evans, the President of Arnev Products, Inc., has invented a designer line of socket covers to hide those hideous receptacles. Socketops offer a solution to ugly receptacles and rocker switch plates. Socketops are a peel-and-stick laminate that simply attaches to the old receptacle to enhance the appearance of your power sockets and switches.
