This recessed electrical outlet is a super cool innovation, because your plugs won’t stick out into the room behind furniture and etc. But this outlet is high up on the wall in a powder room , so is probably to service a lighted picture or mirror or similar. The recessed outlet will allow the fixture to sit flush with the wall .Here it is pulled out of the box, so I can place wallpaper behind it. This pic shows some of the electrical connections. I did some searching, but couldn’t come up with definitive information about if a special deep electrical box is required. But my guess is that it is. Either way, these types of outlets are a super good idea for both items that need to sit flush with a wall (lighted mirrors, TV s) or with every day appliances like lamps and home electronics.
This bathroom is part of an addition to a 1940 home on the near east side of Houston. The drywall is new. As I requested, the painters did not apply any coatings . Here you see I’m priming the walls with my primer made specifically for wallpaper – Roman Pro 977 Ultra Prime . Done. The vanity will be pushed against this wall , and lighted mirrors will be hung over it. Keep fingers crossed that the electrician doesn’t mess up the wallpaper while installing the mirrors . I think this pattern looks like a tapestry .This paper went up beautifully . The seams are practically invisible from a foot away. I love the slight raised ink texture of this surface print wallpaper . Artichoke is made by Serena & Lily . I really like just about all of their papers .
