This DIY project creates a secret storage compartment disguised as an electrical junction box, perfect for tiny houses where hidden storage is valuable but space is limited. The project costs about $10 in materials and takes only 12-15 minutes to complete. Fake wiring makes the box appear to be a real electrical connection.
