Hello,

I'm looking for tips and ideas on how to install beadboard around light switches. Is it possible to raise the light switch so that the switchplate will sit on top of the beadboard?  Thanks

Yes it is possible. The box can be remounted, or you can leave it where it is and go with longer screws for your faceplate. My choice would be to simply move the box outward to give you the clearance. Make sure the power is off before moving it and retighten your connections.
