Hi. New member here, and maybe one of you can help. My wife recently saw a photo of a bathroom cabinet that was over the top of the toilet. It was supported on legs that “straddled” the toilet tank, and had one shelf, then a two-door cabinet above that.
She is dying to have one of these in our master bath, but, alas, she can’t find the photo. If I had the picture, I could work out a plan for it. Does anyone know where plans for this could be located?
Thanks for reading my post, and thanks for your help in advance.

I had one of those.. DON'T!.. Hard to clean anything near it..
Take her by the hand and tell her sharply as you are allowed.. Lets get a cabinet that hangs on the wall!
birdman,
I agree with Will, legs in that area and closing in the toilet tank can cause problems...sweating, etc. I just made up the dimensions and added/incorporated a french cleat to the back for attaching to the wall..it looks great
Hi Birdman... I don't know where you're located, but here in NY we have two stores that probably carry that type of cabinet. Did you check with Home Depot or Lowes (Menards) or similar BigBox stores??I'm sure I've seen it in 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' or in 'Linens and Things'. If you fly different airlines, check in their Ad magazines. It's the kind of thing they love to show to BORED flyers. Possibly check with 'Sharper Immage' too.
The cabinet is not too hard to make. Two 8 foot x 10 inch melamine strips for sides, a few shelves of the same material and some standard cabinet doors. A few biscuts to put it together and SWMBO will be very happy, especially since you explain that you made it with the tools and machines that are 'cluttering up' the basement. You may even be able to buy ANOTHER tool that you need to complete the project.
