DIY Doorbell Ideas
Frustrated by a lack of options for doorbell covers on your interior wall transformer/doorbell chime box? Here is an easy, inexpensive way to customize yours for a fraction of the cost of an off-the-shelf one from a big box store.
In the example here, Jami was able to simply go over the existing cheap plastic wall mounted box above the coat closet with a few simple steps.
​
Check Etsy, thrift stores, etc. for unique metal (really any material) box that has your approximate dimensions. The box pictured is an antique art deco Canco tea tin that has a charming design and slight patina. Best of all it matches the décor of the home it is in.
