Maybe it's time to jazz-up (or make sublime) those "little" details that make or break "the design"-

TRUFIG

One of the best new innovations to hit the high-end market- lots of awards.

I'll bet the cost to install one is over triple the cost of a normal outlet.

I don't get the attraction. I guess if one had money to burn in the fireplace to keep warm it's one of those things to compete with the Jones but what's the use?

I find it humorous, when you can get the raw parts, put over the cover whatever you want, and install a new box, run the wire for a whopping $3.00.... when an electrician charges you $75/box.

The only installation i really see its value is the stone and in this case it probably drives the cost up to the point its not worth it.

Well, no, those aren't the only two options.

You can have class, you can not have class, or you can think you have class and actually not have it. There's quite a few that fit into that last category.

Very handsome. If I had a ton of money the first things I would want in a custom home: expertly engineered electrical systems suitable to any kind of appliances or computer/entertainment products I wanted to use and well-designed lighting inside and outside the house. Then gorgeous flooring and well-placed, attractive windows framing lovely views, it goes without saying. Only then would I begin thinking about decor ... and planning my faboo bathrooms.
