Redditor Craptain needed a new mirror for his bathroom, and decided to go the DIY route to soup it up. Not only does his mirror feature ambient RGB LED lighting around the edges, but it also has a power socket for a shaver and a heating element in the back so that part of the mirror doesn’t fog. Craptain dutifully documented the €300 build and has been answering questions about it in the comments of the post. Nice work!
