I love my vanity. The only thing I could not find a solution for was my power for blow dryers/straighteners. I was not a fan of leaving them plugged in under the vanity nor was I going to put a traditional power strip out in the open, gross. I have honestly searched the internet/Pinterest everything for an idea to have power but keep it looking nice. I used to be able to find vanity mirrors with plugs inside but I couldn’t find any I liked and of course there was always the occasional desk lamps I could use. And this is how this idea came to be.
Here is a photo of the finished power plant!
If you want to make one yourself.
Here is what you need:
- 1 Wooden box – I used pencil cups found on Amazon.
- Grommet power strip – amazon again.
- Rocks/faux succulents – Michaels
- Drill
- 3″ hole dozer drill bit
- 1-1.5″ drill bit for making holes again
- Hot glue gun
Steps to make:
- Drill a 3″ hole yin our box.
- Drill a corresponding smaller hole for the plug to come out of. –mine got kinda messy sicne the plug Was a bit larger than I anticipated. I used the lid of a plastic water bottle to make a small grommet to pass the wire.
- Thread cable through and press in power grommet
- Create a base for your rocks – I used cardboard the amazon package came in. I cut it a bit latrger han needed and folded up the sides to create a bowl type base.
- Add rocks and succulents. Hot glue of you want.
- Enjoy.
Hope you enjoyed. Please let me know what you think!
