Other buzzing things?? TWICE a day??

Oh, this thread is going straight to Hades.

I have a robern built in medicine cabinet with electrical outlets in it. My toothbrush and other items like contact lense solutions go in there.

I have a linen closet and that's where I keep my electric toothbrush. My DH was so kind to install an outlet in there for that and my wall mounted hair dryer. Every since I heard about what happens when one flushes I decided I didn't want my toothbrush on the counter anymore.

Tooth brushes and shavers go in the medicine cabinet. Hair dryer and irons go in the drawer below the sink.

I had an above counter appliance garage with linen tower built, with outlets inside, so everything that gets plugged in (dryer, ultra-sonic jewelry cleaner that I use for cleaning dental retainers, electric toothbrush and toothbrush sanitizer) plus toothpaste is hidden behind doors.

Every time a friend of mine turned her buzzy thing on it opened the garage door :o At least that's what she told another friend of mine, who told it to me!

We have built cabinets and drawers with the electrical
outlets inside, you can keep them plugged in and close the door or drawer when
not in use. Out of sight, out of hearing range. This can be done in
the kitchen as well with counter appliances like the blender, coffee maker or
food processer. It makes your counter surfaces look so nice and tidy.
Just remember any outlet within 3 feet of a water source (bathroom and
kitchen counters) must be Grounded GFCI outlets for safety reasons.

A carpenter built recessed cabinets over our pedestal sinks. There are electrical outlets in each one. The mirrored doors are flush with the wall -- look like they are hanging on the wall. Larger things are stored in the linen closet in the bathroom. (Buy your mirrors first and have the cabinets built to size.)

I built a little shelf under the sink cabinet. We also added a power outlet in there to enable charging.

We also had a little shelf built under our sink for our toothbrushes. I couldn't stand the idea of that white plastic sitting out on my pretty black counters!

Lots of good ideas. I investigated electrical code and the local code does not specifically prevent outlets in cabinets or drawers. Therefore, they are permitted. That opens up many possibilities. I do not like a flexible wire to a drawer. Under the sink is good for others, not for our particular family, but a really good inspiration. Now it seems a recessed medicine chest or niche would suit.

Currently there is a mirror mounted flat to the wall. I could build a medicine chest with the mirror. Even better, a smaller recess on the wall next to the vanity with a door or mirror. ANY surface or cabinet will accumulate the maximum amount of sthuff. A small cabinet will attract less.

Next project after tiling the bath surround is building a new vanity carcass with drawers, no doors. Everyone gets a drawer for their things.

Aside: we have our first aid box and family medicines in a kitchen cabinet, not in the bathroom medicine cabinet. It allows a larger group of supplies and you don't have to interrupt the person in the bathroom for critical needs.
