Outlet Covers and Light Switchplates for Log Walls
One of the first things you’ll notice when you become a log home owner is that you can’t put flat things on log walls. Logs aren’t flat, so it just doesn’t work very well. This goes for everything from hanging pictures to mounting shelves to installing outlet covers and light switch plates. Fortunately there are companies out there that cater to log home owners.
Atkinson Electric has a wide range of switch plates, outlet covers, and covers for cable and telephone jacks, all designed to work just right with log walls. Of course, you could get plates made from the typical white plastic, but this company is again thinking of your must-match-log-walls needs, so their covers come in wood. You can get anything from Alaskan yellow cedar to apple to birch to pine.

This was the only website I found that had any outlet covers for log walls. Great idea! I would like to see a picture of the outlet cover not mounted. Could you email me prices too? Thank you.
