Ben got me a great birthday present:
A push-button light switch from Rejuvenation. It makes a delightful "clack" noise when you push the mother of pearl inlaid button.

Now for a switch plate to cover it. Luckily for me Rejuvenation was out of their
simple brass switchplates, so I've ordered the
Victorian brass one from
House of Antique Hardware. They have the best selection of push-button switch plates I've been able to find online. Their
Art Deco switch plate was also very tempting, but I'm slating the new light switch for a hallway where I'm going with an over the top Victorian feel, and this switch and switch plate will bring a nice turn of the century "electricity worship" feel to the space.
