My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Details on Recessed Lights?

11 years ago
I need to accomplish this in my master bath. We will have a partially recessed 31" wide vanity. I need to get lighting on the side of the mirror rather than on top. The cabinet can be recessed to a depth of 12. If we could get the lighting on that space it would be perfect. Thank you!

    We had our cabinet maker build a recessed box in the wall cavity and we installed LED tape lights along the full length inside. The frosted glass front is on a pivot hinge to access the light source, when needed. These vanity light boxes are 4" deep.
