I had the floor in a sunroom raised up to be level with the floor in the rest of the house. The electrical was already in place, and I didn't think to check how the new floor height would affect the trim. Now I'm left with an outlet that is 1 1/2" into the baseboards:
(Please ignore the almond colored outlet, leaving those in place until everything is painted)
My first thought was to just notch the baseboard like you see in the photo, but I was wondering if there is a better way. What would you do in this situation?
EDIT:
I just cut this out of some scrap I have. Does the angle make it look better or worse?
EDIT #2:
A twitter follower suggested I carry the bevel around like this (ignored the botched bottom piece). I think this might be the winner.

Settled on going through the trouble of carrying the bevel around the outlet. It's not what I would have done if I had the foresight to move and rewire the boxes, but it's the best option with what I have now.
It should look better with a coat or two of paint. ;)
Thanks for the input guys!
