I have to get a few of these. Now if they make a released one with many plugs on it and make it a surge protector, God knows what I'll do! But the paint is making me twitchy. Maybe one day, just take off all of the socket covers and paint them all at once? Ten minutes per room.

This master bedroom focal wall is one of my absolute favorites! I want to re-create this on a dining room wall. I love the way you spaced the boards and battens to frame the main feature - in this case being your bed.

(Some pieces, when full of stuff, can be very heavy to move.) This can be more handy if you need to plug and/or unplug an item. We did this behind a PIANO and it allowed us to have a lamp in the vicinity that we can unplug and change out without moving the piano in the future.

Look up "Flat Plug Extention Cord" on Amazon to see what I mean. I know they add some cord, but in some instances, that may be more desirable than switching out the plug.

My only caution is some outlet boxes are jammed full of wires and there simply isn't the extra room that is taken by this recessed outlet box. This becomes a fire hazard! If you are unsure, it is better to consult with an electrician, or at the very least, make sure all your smoke detectors have fresh batteries. (Full disclosure: I am not an electrician. Nor am I married to one. In fact, I'm not related to one, but I do a lot of my own DIY.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-46720618530514628452015-06-15T12:39:14.299-04:002015-06-15T12:39:14.299-04:00I have a couple of places were I could use some of...I have a couple of places were I could use some of these.Marty@A Stroll Thru Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405504522777964549noreply@blogger.com
