Has any one come up with or seen a good way to wrangle all those plug in devices that end up in the bathroom. It was not to bad with the electric razors hers and mine and her curling iron. But she has just added electric tooth brushes to the collection and its starting to look kind of messy and believe me I like a good mess just as much as the next guy but when I am at the sink getting my teeth jiggled at 6 trillion per second I look around and think too much cr*p in one place. Thanks Randy

LOL, I was just thinking about this last week.
I did a bathroom last winter, and put in two single gang boxes, either side of the mirror - on a 5' wide vanity.
I was over there last weekend to tend to a minor punch item and saw that she had the pile of electrical do-dads all in a drawer which was hanging open., but still plugged in. What a mess!
Somehow in that ladies mind, that was neater than having them clutter up the vanity top. So I'm thinking I might install a power strip inside a drawer next time.

Remember, no matter how much you insist on safety and common sense.
someone will still put that hot curling iron in there and close the drawer.A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.

When it comes to women and curling irons, I didn't know common sense was supposed to be part of the formula. but thanks for making the point.

I have for a number of years designed/built vanity/make-up table with small power strips in a couple of the drawers. The first one I did was for my wife. She always had wires strung all over the place.
Now it's just like you said. The wires and gadgets or now hanging out of the drawers. There is no way you could close the drawers. The more outlets you give them the more stuff they find to plug into them. Then there is the problem of curling irons. You need a fireproof drawer for those critters.
Ditch the wife, use a disposable razor, and go back to using a regular toothbrush. Your counter will be neater, and your bank account will be fatter......lol.
These may be too cheep for your customer, but...

These are sweet. I have two in my bath and it helps the Queen keep her cords in order.
When we did our bathroom I put receptacles in an exposed recess at the bottom of the (custom) medicine cabinet and held one of the glass shelves a little short so the toothbrush charger could be up inside the med cab out of view. Then one plug-in device can sit on the exposed shelf and then I have one 'shaving' receptacle for each med cab in addition. We use them all.
I've also started putting receptacles inside cabinetry and closets due to the multitude of charging devices these days.
