@slownsteady That switch will be for the vanity light only. I considered tying it in to the switch near the door, but it would be a royal pain to run the wiring & would cost more. Also, I'd like to be able to turn it off when it's not needed. There is already a light switch on the wall that I plan to but that outlet & switch on, but it is closer to the doorway. It will be covered by the door when the door swings in though, so I wanted to move it over, use a rocker switch, and add an outlet.
There will be an overhead vent-light-heater with a 3 switch rocker in a single gang box that will control the overhead & the switch will be right inside the door. Although I suppose we could make it so the switch near the sink is for the GFCI so it can be turned off. I'm in the process of drawing the opposite side of the room & designing a shaving station. I'm thinking of building a small shelf over the top of the medicine cabinet with a slim undermount light that can be turned on when in use.
I want to use a
double outlet power perch for the GFCI & rocker switch near the vanity. It could hold my brother's electric toothbrush or phone or whatever he wanted to set up there.
I'm thinking of getting an outlet
wall organizer for the shaving station over an outlet. It could hold my brother's electric razor. Although, in a pinch I could build a shelf myself out of scrap pieces of wood from the workshop, paint it, and have a hole for cords. Perhaps I could even add a dowel to hold washcloths/hand towels.
I'm currently googling shaving station/shelving ideas. I know I want a shelf underneath the between-the-studs medicine cabinet. Maybe a hook to hang the shaving bib (it has suction cups to hook to the mirror so it can catch hair & then it can be dumped in the trash bin. My brother liked the idea of a designated shaving station. Right now he has to open up a cabinet & use a cracked mirror on the inside of the door. I need to replace that mirror-- will have to see if they have any at the Dollar Tree in Alexandria bc the one in town closed.
Any suggestions/ideas for the shaving station? I don't shave so I don't know what all he would need. I believe he can store his little kit that is in a case inside the medicine cabinet. There's an electric razor, don't know if he uses shaving cream, but that can go inside the cabinet if he does... washcloth/towel maybe? I'll have to ask him. LOL.
