I am including a picture... Basically I sawed the space for the timer
on the far right. Now I'm bring told to put another timer on the
switch second to the far right.
Is there a plate that has the two right "designer" style while keeping
the two switches on the left, standard toggle?

I am in 110/60Hz land, otherwise known at the USA. Yes, I plan on
replacing the cream colored switches to match the white faceplate.
People were coming over and I didn't have time.


As other messages show there are faceplates available but the cost is
ridiculous. If I was doing this I would carefully mark out the required
hole and then cut it out using my scroll saw and then finish the edges
with fine sand paper.


I did that to the first one. The problem is with two the screw holes
are in the wrong place. $30 bucks may seem like alot, but IMO I like
doing the job right.
ALso, as for switching there whole thing to Decora; I'm ordered to keep
all switches in the house matching, so if I go Decora on that one, I go
Decora on the whole house.
I'm also limited as to the type of timer; since we use Compact Fluorescent.
