Default Looking for triple-gang duplex wall plate (ivory)

One of those duplexes is a double switch. Those are kind of expensive,
especially in Decora.

If I could find 2-Decora 1-duplex, I could change out the cheap outlet
on the end and that would be real easy.

I'll buy two of the 3-duplex plates, and if I ruin both of them I'll
suck it up and swap everything out. I think I'll buy a few cheapo
switchplates when I go to HD this afternoon and practice cutting them.
Thanks.

See if they have the oversize plates in the config you want- I have
found that those seem to be a different, more flexible plastic, possibly
easier to cut. They are designed to cover oopsies on less-than-perfect
walls.
