Ornate Switch Plate Makeover

My sister's new house had these gold, ornate light switch plates and outlet covers throughout the entire house. I'm guessing they are from '69 since thats when the house was built and nothing else was updated...

Here's a pic of the process in steps...

1. Original look

2. Painted

3. Paint wiped off 

4. Stained 

First, I painted them an Antique White color and then wiped it off with 

damp paper towel where I wanted the brass to show

Next, I used the stain marker across the entire thing to get the stain into the crevices.

Finally, I wiped off most of the stain and...Finished Product :)
