Understood, that makes sense. I was thinking cutting a small hole in the drywall behind the mirrors and snaking the cable down to the floor level, and bringing it back out another hole to plug in. But then you're talking about drywall repair when it comes time to move out.
Or you could always add a couple of these over the holes when you do move out, and there's a high chance no one won't notice them when doing the move out inspection. It will just be assumed that they are covering old, no longer used outlets or switches.
As you probably don't want to be plugging in things over a hot stove anyway, you could remove the outlet and put a blank cover (example) over the box. However, you are still supposed to have an outlet for every 4 feet of countertop (no more than 2 feet from an end.)
Well in that case I suggest a bigger roll, likely 1000ft or more. Shouldn't be more than like 40 or 50$. But if you're running them through the walls, you're right, cat6 would be the smarter move. This is almost exactly the kit I bought but it comes with a neat carrying case and those blue ethernet connector covers. You should absolutely get and use a cable tester like the one in this kit, if you're running wires through your wall the last thing you want to do is run them and then find out it was wired incorrectly or doesn't work for some other reason. Also always give yourself at least a foot more than you think you'll need so that if you mess up stripping the wires or something you have a couple more tries. But it takes surprisingly little practice to get good at.
I wish you good luck, mate. I also recommend running a good HDMI, USB and power extension cord for a Vive (also works with Oculus) if you ever plan on using that room for VR. Since you're already in the walls, it would be a smart time to do it. Only real advice there is to put a nice sleeve over the power wire because it's surprisingly small in diameter. Quick edit: Here's an outlet cover plate you could use for VR wires.
If you still have the wires in the electrical box, code says you need to make the wires accessible. You can get a blank plate like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HEHD4A. You can buy them from any Home Depot or Lowe's.
If you are able to remove all the electrical wiring... and I mean completely remove it back to the breaker, not just leaving it inside the walls, then you can remove the electrical box and patch it with some drywall.
You can also buy a blank outlet cover.
