The electrical plate covers are stock ivory color.

In regards to the toekicks. I would suggest installing (adhere)vinyl cove base over the toekicks. It makes a difference when mopping up spills or just mopping floor to keep garage pristine. Your veneer will not end up delaminating in the long run. I did this throughout my whole garage instead of using wood baseboard, but I have a drain in the floor for washing daily drivers in winter months and a place for the snow slush to drip off the cars.

Thanks guys. :cheers:

The outlets and switches and covers are the colors that I used when I built it. I know they aren't real attractive, but I think black would stand out too much, white... well, I don't have any white in the garage, but that might look better over all. Whatever I do, it will depend on the 4 switch cover. The brushed stainless looks nice, but I'd have to find a 4 switch cover.

I thought about the vinyl baseboard, too.

The 4 switch stainless covers are out there. The local home big box store should have or be able to get them, if not a local electrical supply house will have them. As for the toe kicks, the cove base will save them. It is really easy to install, it comes in a giant roll or in 4 foot lenghts and can be found at most home improvement stores. I have installed HUNDREDS of cabinets in commercial applications and anything you can do to protect your investment will help. Or if you are sure you will never have water/fluids on the floor in any kind of quantity then leave it. Either way you have a really nice set up there. REALLY NICE!

Scott, You need a new insulated garage door with a steel back R- value of 13.5 or 16 lets say. I know just the guy :D to set you up and you can take advantage of the tax credit . :unibrow: :unibrow:
