Eye-catching panel covers
Lindsay Thompson has come up with a design solution for what she deems “a dreadful metal eyesore” in homes – electrical panel boxes.
Her company Fuse-In Designs offers custom-made decorative magnetic covers for the panels, which are often located in high traffic areas such as entranceways and kitchens.
Many opt to simply cover exposed electric panels with mirrors, pictures or artwork. But that breaks Cayman’s fire code as it can be a hindrance in an emergency. The magnetic covers, however, provide ease of access.
“As an alternative, this product is a design-focused, safe solution to covering those metal eyesores,” says Lindsay. “Stock designs are available but the covers will be completely customizable to match the unique style of each client and their distinctive living space.”
The custom covers can be created to match or accent anything from wallpaper to paint colors; the grain in a particular piece of wood to the texture of travertine tiles.
The magnetic panel covers will be made available as a pre-construction option through various developers in Cayman.

Delectable design
Two restaurants designed by John Doak Architecture have recently been completed. Bacaro, located at the Cayman Islands Yacht Club, offers classic Venetian tapas-style cuisine. Guests can dine indoors under the boat builders’ ropes or on the breeze-cooled verandahs with views of yachts in the harbor. Doak’s seaside Coccoloba Bar & Grill at Grand Cayman’s Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa is part Mexican street joint, part beach-hut, with diners just mango-throwing distance from the water. Dine in an elegant beach hut where Hemingway, Marilyn Monroe and Kathryn Hepburn might well have been seasonal visitors.
