Woo-hoo! Our house has all the modern conveniences, even that new-fangled electrical lighting. No more gas explosions!
Actually, we just changed the light switches on the ground floor to period-correct pushbutton switches, seen here. They've got mother of pearl inlays and make a satisfying click when you push 'em. Some even have dimmers: you push the top switch on, then twist the lower knob to dim the lights. Spiffy.
The only problem during installation was finding room. These switches are wider than the "normal" modern switches, so they take up more room in the box. The wiring got a bit crowded and required some inventive routing and judicious use of wire nuts in places. It all ended well, though.
