if you have the icons, you can style it as such: http://jsfiddle.net/swm53ran/164/

/*hide checkbox and radio buttons*/
input[type=checkbox], 
input[type=radio] {
    width: 2em;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-size: 1em;
    opacity: 0; /*This is the part tht actually hides it*/
}

/*normalize the spacing*/
input[type=checkbox] + label,
input[type=radio] + label {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-left: -2em;
    line-height: 1.5em;
}

/*unchecked css*/
input[type=checkbox] + label > span,
input[type=radio] + label > span {
    display: inline-block;
    background-image: url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Face-sad.svg/48px-Face-sad.svg.png');
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
}

/*selected checkbox css*/
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label > span > span {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    display:block;
    background-image: url('http://wscont1.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/1x/a14c3995-34d7-454c-82e2-0c192e48b91a/Icon.173718.png');
}

/*selected radio css*/
input[type=radio]:checked + label > span > span {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    display:block;
    background-image: url('http://wscont1.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/1x/a14c3995-34d7-454c-82e2-0c192e48b91a/Icon.173718.png');
}
