How To Cover A Breaker Box










 
Right when you walk into our new town-home,  you see this lovely breaker box...
not the prettiest, eh?




 
Well, I found this vinyl chalkboard sticker for 70 percent off! 
I figured it was worth the $5!





 I decided to cut around the edge of the frame, for a more custom look. I also decided not to peel the back off-- 
Then I added strips of self adhesive magnets ($3)




 And here is what it looks like! Don't mind my handwriting... or the whiteness of the picture, we get a TON of sunlight in our front room.
=)





See? It really is under there! 











Total Cost for this project:
Less than $8.00!

  17. Great Idea. I actually covered mine with a mirror. I put small door hinges on one side of the frame so I can open and close it as needed.
