Introduction
I've been meaning to design and build a makeup battlestation for Liz for a while. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a battlestation is what makeup junkies call the area where they apply their makeup.
Liz prefers to do her makeup standing up at a wall mirror, so I figured I would start with that. I just had a basic door hang mirror with a wooden frame (like this one). Thus I decided to build everything around that mirror. The following describes the parts I used and how I assembled it. Anyone with basic construction skills can easily do the same.
Design Requirements
- Full length standing mirror
- Bright, white direct lighting
- Fan for ventilation
- Clock
Parts
- 12v power supply
- LED strip lighting
- LED strip light housing
- LED dimmer
- hookup wire
- barrel crimp connectors
- Kitchen clock
- usb fan
- on/off switch
Tools
- Crimper / wire stripper
- Stapler
- Drill
