Ode to Switchplates

Understanding the way this house was decorated before we bought it, I shouldn't be surprised by the discontinuity of the plates. But I am. So instead of being annoyed, I have decided to laugh and share this laughter with you. These are just a few of the switch and outlet plates from throughout the building.

SWITCHPLATES
Most of the switches were painted prior to the replacement of the cover. DYIers, does this still look like a good idea?

OUTLETS
Rectangular or round, shiny or polished nickel, brass or white plastic, take your pick. We've got them all!

You'd hate our house then, too! I've been slowly replacing them with stainless, but I have no want to replace the actual outlets to match!
