Being the wife of a licensed electrician , you did AMAZING! You did everything correctly , it’s almost hard to believe that you did that all by yourself , most people need a professional to help. But you did amazing , from connecting the wires to hiding the wires and drilling holes on the light bars , to hanging the mirror!
Ever since I watched your video months ago I've incorporated what I learned from you and used it to start making vanities of my own and sell them. I've made children set, normal sizes, and even full length ones with lights. Thanks for the upload 😀
I made this mirror for a school project 4 years ago and got a perfect score for my efforts, I was in highschool and to this day the mirror works exactly the same. I wanted to thank you for this video now because this video is all I needed to make my dream mirror💖
The employees will make custom cuts for you of wood, glass, mirror, plastic, etc. They tell you where everything is found & also show you the proper hardware you for the project you show/explain to them. I make a lot of DIY Crafts using hardware & I can usually find one employee (male or female) who can follow my description & suggest a couple of options for what I'm needing. If you were to show this video to one of them, they should be able to walk you through the store to get everything you need, answer any questions & possibly share any concerns they might see [especially if you've never used power tools or done any electrical work (but The Find Guru did an amazing job in explaining what she did though)].
I watched this twice and just showed it to my boyfriend. He is going to make it for me!!! We loved watching you create this vanity. Your adorable and so capable!!! You doing it sealed the deal that he is going to do it. Girl power!!!
I do loads of DIY's all the time. From custom upholstered headboard with crystal buttons to 2 large mirrored covered dressers. I tend to stay away from electrical and let my husband do the projects that involve electric. But you have given me the courage to try this myself. It looks amazing!! Thanks
I built this a few years back following your video and man I still love it. Not I’m tryna put it all onto some plywood so I don’t have to keep screwing it into my walls. Thanks so much for the idea. Everyone uses those warm lights and you showed me to use the daylight lightbulbs and man they make a huge difference!
So we followed these instructions and bought the material. We still ended up having to slice the metal back plate and cut into the drywall to make the dimmer switch fit. Also, you should tell people to cut a whole notch out of the metal where the vanity connects so you don't have to disconnect wiring to take it apart if need be. Also, do yourself a favor and drill 2 extra holes on both sides of where the vanity bars meet so you can bolt the whole thing together to make it less flimsy when transporting it. This video makes it seem super simple but it took us about 6 hours of problem solving and doing extra stuff this video doesn't mention you need to do. 6/10 for instructions. 10/10 totally works if you don't mind having to solve some problems along the way.
@@interestedinstuff333 Late response, sorry. The dimmer switch she recommends is too bulky to fit inside the vanity bar. You either have to cut out the back plate of the vanity and into the drywall to make it fit, or you can search around for the slimmest possible knob type dimmer switch available, I recommend the latter. The vanity bars are about 1 inch tall of compartment space.
@@daniellegutierrez5285 we cut out the back plate of the vanity and into the drywall to make it work because we were in a pinch, drywall is easily repairable, so we said "fuck it". Alternatively, you could simply try to find a slimmer knob type dimmer-switch. You could get creative with a slider type dimmer switch too.
Just did mine, ended up buying the vanity lights on offer up and my aunt gave me a huge mirror. Everything came out to be about $110 tops. Im so in love! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍 best tutorial EVER!!!!! new and loyal subscriber here 😚
This video makes me feel dumb as hell. lol I would've never in a million years thought of this, let alone been able to do it without throwing some shit across the room in frustration.
You can totally do it! I did it, but I absolutely wanted to throw a bunch of shit out the window 😂. And yes, its incredibly frustrating because theres a lot of questions you have that can't always be answered by watching this video.
Thank you for emphasizing the importance of the electric components and connections!!! DIY project videos are GREAT, but sometimes not well researched! I'm so grateful you said that you discussed this with an electrician to get a beautiful, but SAFE, end result! And why electrical tape should still be used for safety - truly so impressed with the outcome - GORGEOUS! I'm really loving that you did this all with a great manicure as well!!! I think the people who watch this (most who won't be making this large of a vanity mirror) have gotten some excellent advice for making one of ANY size!!! I've watched some videos and prayed the house didn't burn down with all the extension cords used...so explaining exactly why that's dangerous is such a wonderful thing for people to see!!! GREAT VIDEO, AMAZING VANITY, SMART AND ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL INSTRUCTOR!!!
I know thos is 3 years ago, but look at this woman rewiring her own mirror lighting like a BOSS! As the daughter of a journeymen electrician, I'm very impressed! Us girls can do it all!!
she said $250. but then she kept adding lol. but forreal this is dope.. I wanna make my girl a surprise vanity for our new apartment. this is great. and explained so well. wish me luck
I am beyond super impressed! You did a great job and did your homework with the electrical requirements. In all my years doing electrical work here and there I've never seen anyone strip insulation off wire with scissors. If the wire was stranded you would want to use actual wire strippers instead. You did all this while looking fabulous and with those nails! Amazing!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU... I just did it... i bought the same mirror and lights and i followed your instructions to a T and it came out gorgeous. only thing my dimmer did not fit flush lile yours did and i bought the same one u listed... Other than that... EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. Everyone is amazed that i did that. I am so proud of myself.
Hazlo con Sue OK so since you did it please help me I’m in the process of doing mine I’m up to the electrical wiring part I noticed that the vanity comes with two of each color wires exposed already I believe that’s what she used to power the dinner and power cord but if you pay attention to the video your notice that she only used one of the white wires from the vanity so what happened to the other white wire did she just wrap it around itself and then cover it with a protective screw and tape?🤔🤔🤔 please I would really appreciate if you could get back to me soon as possible
Girl, I'm blown away! Not only is this beautiful to look at, it's simple, functional and even I feel like I can do it! Might still have a guy help me tho.. not gonna lie 😭 Great job!
I was expecting to watch a dad make a vanity for his daughter/wife when I searched for this but this is by far the dopest one I’ve seen! Hope my gf likes it!
These was the most detailed and SAFE vanity lit mirror video I’ve seen. Thank you so much for this video!! Been looking to create my own vanity desk but a lot of them required using a extension cord, not only did I find that unsafe but also how would you even control it? I definitely look forward to putting my diy skills to the test with this project!
The Find Guru lmao those shows were really Bomb as hell though! I've been following you for sometime now and I honestly don't get tired of watching you because I've seen how much you've grown in your videos and I think it's really dope girl. I hope I get to to meet you next time your in New York ❤️
The Find Guru That would be super dope honestly ! I know you come mostly for Deva Curl but if your able to bring that together or even like a meet and greet you just seem hella dope lol ! I was wondering if you could do a "Why and How you got into UA-cam video and grew your social media platform and what honestly keeps you going through negative times !" Much love from each cost xoxo
Wow. This is one of the best detailed descriptions of creating your own vanity mirror I've ever seen on YT. Very informative and you provided enough knowledge in a way that was easy to understand a do safely. Thank you!
I hope everyone who thinks men > women sees this so they can see that women can literally do ANYTHING they want to do lmao and we will do it with blinding highlighter and in heels if you want us to xx
thank you this was sooooo helpful i’ve lost my home to an electric fire 2 year ago so i’ve been weary on doing and diy vanity lighting because the wiring process and i know it can be dangerous if not done right you have given great clarity and makes so much more safe sense when it comes to the wires and wattage thanks keep the videos coming
@@davidnorth8745 its an exaggerated compliment. I’m commending her skills because this was pretty dope. She does state in the description bar that she is not a professional, but all of her information she did get from an electrician.
@@kaylavonn2749 sorry I wasnt trying to be mean. I was just saying but I understand where you were coming from. She did do a great job tho. The only thing that made me cringe was her using scissors instead of wire strippers to strip off the insulation. I'm a Commercial electrician so little things like that bug me. It's no big deal though, I'm just glad she did the rest safely and I hope nobody gets hurt for trying these DIY projects. Have a good one.
Thank goodness my grandpa is an electrician because honestly I wouldn’t have been able to do this mirror without him !! I watched this video at least 20 times lol 😂 and still couldn’t get it so I called my grandpa up and he helped me. Not only the fact that I couldn’t make it myself but it definitely took me not getting my nails done for about 5 weeks 😂 I had to savveee !! But it was all so worth it I love the mirror and it looks absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I didn’t have to go out and buy a $700 dollar one! You really can do it all girl 🤩. Thank youuuuuu
I love how you did it without the extension cord and without connecting them all in the center and explained why. It's a nice professional job you did while looking cute thanks.
Hey Lady! Hope all is well. I was wondering if the mirror is 42X36 and not 36X36. By looking at it, the 6 bulb bars are 36 inches (as you showed) and the mirror IS the length of the bars going down. Going across, the mirror can't be 42 inches. Amazon says that the 6 bulb bars are 36X4.75, if you subtract 4.75x2 (because there are 2 6 bulb 36 in X 4.75 in vanity bars) from the 46 in 8 bulb vanity bar, across the top, the mirror would be really close to 36 inches too. Awesome DIY and I don't want to miss anything.I'm gathering my materials and want to order the right things. Help!
Hey Cookie. Yeah, I did the whole thing and the mirror was 42X36. What she did though, was place the light bars on top of the mirror on the sides. The bars covered the mirrors a couple of inches on both sides. Watch the video very very closely at 13.49, you will see the light bar sitting on the mirror. It came out pretty good though. I was torn between putting the whole thing on a piece of wood and hanging it like a huge living room portrait. I'll be moving eventually and I like that's how I going to do it next time.
Tommy me too but I noticed when it came down to the power And dimmer she only had one white wire from the power cord so what happened to the other White wire considering it comes with two white wires and two black wires already exposed that’s the wires that she used right or did she cut more again just to connect the power cord in the dimmer please help I’m in the process of this but I’m kind of feeling a little stuck here
So I'm building this exact vanity and so far I have bought everything you used except for the mirror. I literally can not find the same exact size mirror anywhere. They're sold out all over and I truly believe that it's because so many people recreated your vanity lol. I only found one that is the same size and it's $180 at Lowe's so I'm just gonna try to get it cut at a local glass company. Anyways, thanks for this video. This is literally my dream vanity and I'm so excited to say that I'm working on it this very second.
This was hands down one of the best tutorials I have seen on here!! You were so thorough! You listed everything, explained everything, and just made it so practical!!! Wow- amazing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
So, I'm making this exact one because I am IN LOVE! All of my lights have shipped and been delivered I just need to get my mirror cut. THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Alexis Carrington from looking at the video it seems like it didn’t even fit hers. If you pay close attention to the ending you can see it’s not flush 🤷🏻♀️
I rent a condo and I’m about to do this project (been wanting to do it for over a year now). Just as a suggestion to anyone else who may want to do this project, I would suggest mounting everything to a thin but story’s piece of wood then hanging it up on the wall like you would a heavy mirror. Find your studs, use a level, etc. But doing it that way would make it a lot easier for transport in case you decide to move.
omg your a life saver.....my husband made me a round vanity mirror but I wanted a boxed one an bigger an I was going to pay $650 For one that was huge like this one an has music an Bluetooth but I rather pay less an get it this big.😍😍😍😍 this one is gorgoues.
wouldn't it be so cute.....i bet you ladies can pull it off. my husband said he could do it for me but I think he has other plans in store. lol if it's what I'm thinking with the one I wanted 😍😍😍😍but this mirror if someone did a diy with music it would be so amazing😍😍😍because this mirror is Gorgoues!!!!
Alana Mccloud and that's a good idea love that's what I do now I have a cute lil Bluetooth speaker near my vanity now n it's been working great for me i just wanted to switch up my vanity the way I honestly wanted it before. So if someone can pull it off an actually make a mirror like this with bluetooth like the more expensive ones then it would be bomb. all you have to do is turn on your mirror.😍😍😍😍😍😍 but the other way your saying is good also I've been doing it for some time now.😎👍👍👍
Girl I did this step by step and even added some of my own custom pieces to it and it came out great just like yours! It was my little quarantine project thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Literally the best one on here and so professionally done!! I did it exactly the same way and came out amazingly beautiful!!🥰🥰my light dimmer don’t work tho lol but I don’t feel like undoing any wires to fix it 😅one day I will tho it’s not bothering me as of now !
YASS! I’ve been searching forever trying to find a good DIY vanity mirror to make and none of them looked right.. but THIS is freaking amazing😻 I know what my newest project is about to be!!
Sooooo its under $250 meaning its $249.99 lol but for real its awesome! This may be cheesy but this video was really empowering. Watching you do something that is said to be a mans job all while looking cute and rocking purple polish is freaking AMAAAAAZING!!!!!
Not sure how many other dudes have watched this but damn, talk about an amazing anniversary gift! You're really awesome and my wife is gonna love this!
Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful video! I have a few question 1) if the mirror is 42”x36” then the 8 light vanity strip that is 48” wide doesn’t cover the 50” width of the mirror & the side vanity strips. 2) if you have put the mirror clips on top and sides, why is there no gap between the mirror and the vanity strips? How did you manage to remove the gap of the mirror clips and how did you fit the top vanity strip in line with the side strips?
I just finished making mine and STUNNING! Thank you for this video. One question: which dimmer do you recommend? i bought the one i saw in this video but the depth was too much. it made the place where it is supposed to be bulge out :/ Please advise. that’s the only thing missing. i’m plugging in and out when in use
Nice build and smart thinking with the mascara. Can also use toothpaste or nail polish or grease. A tip when drilling start with small a bit then go up in size and use a block of wood on the other side for support. Good job
@@muziqvault7082 I noticed the same thing. dimmers fit within the light frame but when you close the top, there is no way it closes flush so that the light appear the same as the other plates. I think the front plate of the light will only go down half way. Is there any suggestions? These are the exact dimmers.
@@Prettylilpursepavillion I thought about getting some 3/4 in plywood. Big enough to put the lights and mirror on it then cutting a hole in the frame of the lighting and cutting a square hole in the wood do the dimmer would sit flush. This will make it project one piece like a picture. If you ever want to take of the Wall for example when you move you want have to worry about multiple pieces. Just my thoughts. I tried like 4 different kinds of dimmers.
Yeah, my dad and I spent time going to different stores to find a dimmer with a slimmer back, so I just decided to keep it. I put my mirror on a box frame vs mounting it to the wall. A dimmer cord sound like a good idea, but you’re right, now you have to deal with hole. I’m sure your vanity is gorgeous non the less. I wonder why she didn’t include that information about the dimmer as well.

Even better ! So did you still follow her instructions on using the "replacement cord" for the vanity power cord. If so, how did you connect it since its no longer going to the dimmer
can you please put all the details in the description box or in a comment.. omg i have screenshot this about a thousand times trying to get each detail😭
This video was everything!! 🙌🏾 I did mine today and this tutorial was my guide. The only difference for me was that the dimmer would not fit inside the panel, so I had to put it on the outside on the side. But other than that, perfect!
Great looking work and love how detailed you were but man I wish you had expanded on the dimmer situation, it doesn't fit and it's been a bitch and a half to figure out. I think I've figured out a way to do it without building a box for it which is to use a wireless led lamp dimmer that fits the watts. It's like $50 added on but hey i'm already here and bought all the stuff so might as well push it to $300.
No girl i didn't make it.. i bought it. And thats only because i live in an apt and i cant screw to many things into my wall. But when i get a house girl yasss!
Hi! How did you make with the dimmer width? I am making all the same but the dimmer is so wide that the side where the dimmer is would be wider than the other side. Did you made something to make both sides look the same?
Can we get an update on (I believe it was your little cousin) that you were looking to adopt? I miss her little random tidbits in your videos haha she's so funny and cute
Girl after watching this i feel like I'm a certified electrician! Who need they lights done in they house?

I watched this video at least 20 times lol 😂 and still couldn’t get it so I called my grandpa up and he helped me. Not only the fact that I couldn’t make it myself but it definitely took me not getting my nails done for about 5 weeks 😂 I had to savveee !!
But it was all so worth it I love the mirror and it looks absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I didn’t have to go out and buy a $700 dollar one! You really can do it all girl 🤩. Thank youuuuuu
Needed a video like this cuz im remodeling my room!!! Missed her and she jus so bangin!! Like if you agree
believe me i will!
I love how you did it without the extension cord and without connecting them all in the center and explained why. It's a nice professional job you did while looking cute thanks.
Hey Lady! Hope all is well. I was wondering if the mirror is 42X36 and not 36X36. By looking at it, the 6 bulb bars are 36 inches (as you showed) and the mirror IS the length of the bars going down. Going across, the mirror can't be 42 inches. Amazon says that the 6 bulb bars are 36X4.75, if you subtract 4.75x2 (because there are 2 6 bulb 36 in X 4.75 in vanity bars) from the 46 in 8 bulb vanity bar, across the top, the mirror would be really close to 36 inches too. Awesome DIY and I don't want to miss anything.I'm gathering my materials and want to order the right things. Help!
Did you ever end up buying the mirror part? If so were the measurements 42x36 or were they wrong in the video? 🤔😱
Hey Cookie. Yeah, I did the whole thing and the mirror was 42X36. What she did though, was place the light bars on top of the mirror on the sides. The bars covered the mirrors a couple of inches on both sides. Watch the video very very closely at 13.49, you will see the light bar sitting on the mirror. It came out pretty good though. I was torn between putting the whole thing on a piece of wood and hanging it like a huge living room portrait. I'll be moving eventually and I like that's how I going to do it next time.
Hey Daisy! I did use a dimmer. My dimmer didn’t fit inside the light like hers, though. So I had to improvise.
Tommy T hey tommy, what did you do to improvise with the dimmer?
Tommy me too but I noticed when it came down to the power And dimmer she only had one white wire from the power cord so what happened to the other White wire considering it comes with two white wires and two black wires already exposed that’s the wires that she used right or did she cut more again just to connect the power cord in the dimmer please help I’m in the process of this but I’m kind of feeling a little stuck here
So I'm building this exact vanity and so far I have bought everything you used except for the mirror. I literally can not find the same exact size mirror anywhere. They're sold out all over and I truly believe that it's because so many people recreated your vanity lol. I only found one that is the same size and it's $180 at Lowe's so I'm just gonna try to get it cut at a local glass company. Anyways, thanks for this video. This is literally my dream vanity and I'm so excited to say that I'm working on it this very second.
I was thinking about building a vanity but now I'm sure I'm building a vanity. Great video ! I would love to see a house tour !
This was hands down one of the best tutorials I have seen on here!! You were so thorough! You listed everything, explained everything, and just made it so practical!!! Wow- amazing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Best diy vanity on UA-cam. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So, I'm making this exact one because I am IN LOVE! All of my lights have shipped and been delivered I just need to get my mirror cut. THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Can you explain how you got the dimmer to fit? the cover won’t cover it. Thanks!!
Alexis Carrington from looking at the video it seems like it didn’t even fit hers. If you pay close attention to the ending you can see it’s not flush 🤷🏻♀️
It does not fit at all I had to purchase a different one from amazon with a 1 inch depth
Carol Cook may you share the brand and model for that dimmer please?
Carol Cook can you share which one you bought?
I rent a condo and I’m about to do this project (been wanting to do it for over a year now). Just as a suggestion to anyone else who may want to do this project, I would suggest mounting everything to a thin but story’s piece of wood then hanging it up on the wall like you would a heavy mirror. Find your studs, use a level, etc. But doing it that way would make it a lot easier for transport in case you decide to move.
This turned out so well 😍😍😍❤️
Aimee Jackson My name is Aimee too
I’m personally proud of you 😌 you did that 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
omg your a life saver.....my husband made me a round vanity mirror but I wanted a boxed one an bigger an I was going to pay $650 For one that was huge like this one an has music an Bluetooth but I rather pay less an get it this big.😍😍😍😍 this one is gorgoues.
nattalee right and just set up your cute lil pink beats on the vanity 🙋
nattalee me now imagining how to diy add music/Bluetooth to the vanity 🤔🤔🤔😍😍😍
wouldn't it be so cute.....i bet you ladies can pull it off. my husband said he could do it for me but I think he has other plans in store. lol if it's what I'm thinking with the one I wanted 😍😍😍😍but this mirror if someone did a diy with music it would be so amazing😍😍😍because this mirror is Gorgoues!!!!
Alana Mccloud and that's a good idea love that's what I do now I have a cute lil Bluetooth speaker near my vanity now n it's been working great for me i just wanted to switch up my vanity the way I honestly wanted it before. So if someone can pull it off an actually make a mirror like this with bluetooth like the more expensive ones then it would be bomb. all you have to do is turn on your mirror.😍😍😍😍😍😍 but the other way your saying is good also I've been doing it for some time now.😎👍👍👍
Girl I did this step by step and even added some of my own custom pieces to it and it came out great just like yours! It was my little quarantine project thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How did you do it to place the dimmer? Mine was popping out a lot that I had to just give up
Wow im in awe over how detailed your video is!!! i love it!!!! I cant wait to do something like this when we get our house.
Literally the best one on here and so professionally done!! I did it exactly the same way and came out amazingly beautiful!!🥰🥰my light dimmer don’t work tho lol but I don’t feel like undoing any wires to fix it 😅one day I will tho it’s not bothering me as of now !
Yassss Bobleesha the builder!!! You go girl!! This was really good and the instructions were clear! ❤️
The Find Guru 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for mentioning where you got the supplies with full detail and thank you for being specific! Xx
Wow this was so good I don't think I've seen one this big! Gonna make mine soon thanks for the tips 🙌🏽
Diana Leann coz they never sell us women what we want it's always over priced
YASS! I’ve been searching forever trying to find a good DIY vanity mirror to make and none of them looked right.. but THIS is freaking amazing😻 I know what my newest project is about to be!!
Sooooo its under $250 meaning its $249.99 lol but for real its awesome! This may be cheesy but this video was really empowering. Watching you do something that is said to be a mans job all while looking cute and rocking purple polish is freaking AMAAAAAZING!!!!!
Girl, I cannot believe you did this with those nails on! You're an inspiration
OMGGG!!! I didn't know I needed this until now. This is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
You got my hair on fleek, meals on fleek, workouts on fleek and now you got me building! Bish giving me life with every video.
I was so enthusiastic about this until I saw the steps to put it together. I'm impressed but girl knowing me I'm too lazy to set all this up lol 😂
Wow!!!!!!!! You did a GREAT job! Thank you! I'm building this same thing for my photography makeup girl.
That's bomb as hell... I wish I had the time I would attempt it in a smaller version.
The Find Guru what are the measurements for the mirror exactly and the glass top? Love this!!!
You're so positive and kind! Just a genuinely helpful person
You did that thang hun!!!!
Not sure how many other dudes have watched this but damn, talk about an amazing anniversary gift! You're really awesome and my wife is gonna love this!
Girl, my eyes got cross-eyed with all the wire connecting.:-) Could you do a few more to sale .
KinuGoddess777 that's what I'm saying, I was so lost instantly! What woman has all these power too,s?
Thanks for the video. Just finished the vanity mirror for my girl and she loves it. Next she wants some mirrored furniture.
Where did u get the mirror it self from???
Hi great job on your vanity project video i also like your idea of putting in led globle light bulbs that last over 20 years .
Yasssss SCIENCE COME THRUUUUU🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 kids this is why you need science class 💕💕😂😂
Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful video! I have a few question
1) if the mirror is 42”x36” then the 8 light vanity strip that is 48” wide doesn’t cover the 50” width of the mirror & the side vanity strips.
2) if you have put the mirror clips on top and sides, why is there no gap between the mirror and the vanity strips?
How did you manage to remove the gap of the mirror clips and how did you fit the top vanity strip in line with the side strips?
Exact issues I’m having right now
Where did you get the mirror itself?
All I can say is BRAVO your DIY was the best one I have seen and I will tell you I have search different ones. You go girl
All I understood was "black wire" "white wire" and "vanity" lmao but fuck it imma try it!! I LOVE IT❤️❤️❤️
Princess Bry lmao 😂
I just finished making mine and STUNNING! Thank you for this video. One question: which dimmer do you recommend? i bought the one i saw in this video but the depth was too much. it made the place where it is supposed to be bulge out :/ Please advise. that’s the only thing missing. i’m plugging in and out when in use
So we’re you able to put the dimmer? I have put this project in hold for a year and I came back to see if she replied or someone fixed the issue
The mirror is 42x36? I am having a hard time finding it at Home Depot and online
It's custom cutt
Helmets off girl!! You should start a DIY Channel. I learned and mostly enjoyed every single bit of it. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm wayyyyyyyyyy too lazy for this! It's soo beautiful!! 😍
Nice build and smart thinking with the mascara. Can also use toothpaste or nail polish or grease. A tip when drilling start with small a bit then go up in size and use a block of wood on the other side for support. Good job
I tried this, there's a few important details that are left out in video especially if doing this alone and inexperienced.
Care to share?
Ya rely??? Need to know!!!
Dimmers don't fit.
@@muziqvault7082 I noticed the same thing. dimmers fit within the light frame but when you close the top, there is no way it closes flush so that the light appear the same as the other plates. I think the front plate of the light will only go down half way. Is there any suggestions? These are the exact dimmers.
@@Prettylilpursepavillion I thought about getting some 3/4 in plywood. Big enough to put the lights and mirror on it then cutting a hole in the frame of the lighting and cutting a square hole in the wood do the dimmer would sit flush. This will make it project one piece like a picture. If you ever want to take of the Wall for example when you move you want have to worry about multiple pieces. Just my thoughts. I tried like 4 different kinds of dimmers.
i wish i had this video when i made my vanity! you're so thorough and intelligent! you ready did your thing.
*really. I'm remaking mine after this!
Can you put everything you used in the discription box ?
Samantha Reyes right I done screenshot about ten times lol
Same
Do you have the list ?
Samantha Reyes girl I can't to the comments like did she lost anything
List**
Wow ... I’m a teacher and I love how you explain!!! I feel like I just learned about electricity 🥰🧠🧠🧠🥳🙌🏽
Check your local Dollar Tree!!! I found the dimmable led bulbs for $1 each and their were value packs of 3 or 4 bulbs also 🤗
were they the globe bulbs (the fat balloon ones) like hers?
Where u learn how to do this?
Probably hired an electrician girllllll
Yeah, my dad and I spent time going to different stores to find a dimmer with a slimmer back, so I just decided to keep it. I put my mirror on a box frame vs mounting it to the wall. A dimmer cord sound like a good idea, but you’re right, now you have to deal with hole. I’m sure your vanity is gorgeous non the less. I wonder why she didn’t include that information about the dimmer as well.
Alexis Carrington could you send the link of the dimmer cord you gotten from Amazon and quick explain of how it's installed . Please!! 🙏🙏
Avisha Cooper Sure! happy to help. It’s a plug in dimmer only. So no installation required unless you want the remove on a wall. Just plug your power source in and boom your done!

Marco Cueva thanks!
Even better ! So did you still follow her instructions on using the "replacement cord" for the vanity power cord. If so, how did you connect it since its no longer going to the dimmer
can you please put all the details in the description box or in a comment.. omg i have screenshot this about a thousand times trying to get each detail😭
Thank you so much for posting this vid! Could you explain whether or not you used the ground wires for each fixture and also the dimmer?
This is the best one yet. Well explained.
Great DIY project. Looking to build 2 of them for my girls. Love the detail of your video. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate your video ❤❤
For the metal sleeves can you leave a link where you got them I am having trouble finding them.
I hate how people have questions, and she doesnt answer them... smh
This video was everything!! 🙌🏾 I did mine today and this tutorial was my guide. The only difference for me was that the dimmer would not fit inside the panel, so I had to put it on the outside on the side. But other than that, perfect!
Great looking work and love how detailed you were but man I wish you had expanded on the dimmer situation, it doesn't fit and it's been a bitch and a half to figure out. I think I've figured out a way to do it without building a box for it which is to use a wireless led lamp dimmer that fits the watts. It's like $50 added on but hey i'm already here and bought all the stuff so might as well push it to $300.
Can you elaborate on the one you used?
sharde wilson I returned it but they were located at Home Depot. I can’t remember the name.
Soooooo glad I found this video I’ve been watching It for the pass week trying to get ready to build my own vanity in a few months.... I’m so excited
Hey what about that greenish bluish cord attatched to the dimmer and the one to the extention cord?? Do i connect those together?
Did you make it? I am now and my dimmer is too fat for the top of the vanity to lay flat. I used the same dimmer she did
No girl i didn't make it.. i bought it. And thats only because i live in an apt and i cant screw to many things into my wall. But when i get a house girl yasss!
Charis Roberts hey girl! I have the same issue!! Did you end up getting it?
Charis Roberts what did you do for the dimmer?
Hi! How did you make with the dimmer width? I am making all the same but the dimmer is so wide that the side where the dimmer is would be wider than the other side. Did you made something to make both sides look the same?
Yessssss slay that vanity!
Best one by far! Explained well, shown well and looks good! My girl is going to love it once I’m done
Can we get an update on (I believe it was your little cousin) that you were looking to adopt? I miss her little random tidbits in your videos haha she's so funny and cute
