My Hollywood Vanity

This Hollywood Vanity is EVERYTHING!
 
My husband watched a few DIY hollywood vanity videos on YouTube and we decided to make a few customizations along the way and then we were ready to go.

We were super lucky that our friends gave us the black table so we didn't have to spend money on that.



We measured our wall and table and then got 4 2x4's and the desired size of plywood (ours was 48 in.) at Lowe's. Drilled them together to make a canvas like the one shown in the picture.

We got the vanity light set up at Lowe's.
We bought the daylight lightbulbs (40 W, 6000 K) at Walmart.  These light bulbs are great because they give natural daylight and they don't get hot.

  We used an old bathroom mirror that my husband had and took it to a professional to get it cut to our desired size (23 x 34 in).  After getting all the materials, we drilled 1.5 in holes on each side for the vanity lights. We then painted our canvas glossy black.  Any paint of your choice will work for this step.  



 The electrical part is a little hard and I'd have to let him explain it.  You can also YouTube how to do it.  I really wanted to be able to turn it on with the remote control so we spent a little extra time researching how to do this electrical part. electrical part with remote instructions




Love this DIY project.  Love my vanity.
