What happens here

Install 6-inch trim baseboards along the bottom of the walls and around the cabinet. Apply caulk to the back of the baseboards for adhesion and use a nail gun to secure them in place. Additionally, the plan is to create a small toilet paper dispenser with a shelf and a USB charger outlet built into the wall next to the toilet. To achieve this, extend the electrical outlets to run under the cabinet base. Then, install a plug-and-play LED light strip kit with a motion-activated light sensor under the cabinet, which will turn on when someone walks into the bathroom and turn off after a set timer.

Goal: Add finishing trim and functional under-cabinet lighting

What they say

Hide

the light fixture covers and finished off with a 6-inch trimmed baseboard all right so originally I put a little junction box down there to be able to hook up the electrical but I realize it was not the prime spot justiça because the cable I need to tap into is one didn't have enough slack so let me make it very difficult to extend the plug so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone I'm gonna create a little toilet dispenser right here I'm gonna have a little shelf to it to put your phone but the kicker's I also want to put a little USB charger to charge your phone there so I figured I might as well take this power unit give it a little plug here and then power down there as well those are here so what we're gonna do once I extended the power outlets to run under the cabinet I picked up a plug-and-play kind of LED kit on Amazon with a motion-activated light sensor that would turn on when somebody walks in and then turn off when the timer was done I'll be sure to put a link down to Scripture guys to check out after all
