    Note: This works best in a piece of furniture with pull open shelves, and a minimum depth of 14 inches. Also, adjust the following measurements to fit your project.

    1. Start with a piece of 1/8 inch plywood, and then cut it to 14" x 29" wide.

    2. Create a simple frame of 1 x 2 lumber by cutting two pieces to 14 inches and two pieces 29 inches wide. Nail the pieces together with two inch nails.

    3. Add the 1/8 inch plywood piece to the top of the 1 x 2 frame (figure L) with nails.

    4. Paint the interior of the furniture and all of the plywood shelves "Memorable Rose".

    5. Add two decorative knobs to the top of the plywood and 1 x 2 frame, as pulls.

    6. Install a 14 inch track system to the inside of the vanity (figure M). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

    7. Drill a hole into the back of the vanity with a one inch spade bit to allow for the cord from the lighted mirror.

    8. Install the pullout tray (figure N).
