Default Dudes, I need a corner medicine cabinet with a mirror

I'd like it to look like this one (the vanity I just bought is almost exactly like the one below this cabinet in the photo).

Here's a pic of the medicine cabinet and vanity:



I may get this one, but it's $400, plus shipping/duty/etc. from New Jersey. I'd like to get it a little quicker if possible. It has to be a corner cabinet, so your typical medicine cabinet won't work for me. Anybody have any ideas?

I don't think the cabinet itself should be all that hard to build so why not build it yourself then get surferguy to create an artsy piece for the door/mirror?

It would look like Homer Simpson's BBQ if I made it myself. Custom is a good option and I like surferguy's stuff, but I'm hoping for something off the shelf for less money if possible.

Are you that hard up for storage? Hanging a framed mirror on a corner should be dead easy and then its only as expensive as the mirror you choose.

Nah, just doing a bathroom and want it to look really nice. Already sprung for a 6' tub, a corner vanity (which was $350 for the pedestal versus like $75 for a standard pedestal), radiant floor heating, tiles, etc. If I hang a mirror in the corner I think it'll look too ghetto compared to the higher-end look in that photo I found. Plus it'll be my daughter's bathroom one day when she's older and she'll probably have tonnes of make-up and stuff that I won't want cluttering up the counter.

A custom millwork/furniture shop should be able to do that for less than $500 I would think. I just got a custom cabinet quoted in Vancouver for $1700 in dark walnut, and it was many, many times that size (80"x24"x36").

For serious? No, I'll check those out. Thank you.

Yes thanks. I have an email into a custom shop that's done some stuff for me in the past. Hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow and in the meantime I'll check Amazon.

$500 would be a pretty good price. Could get something nice for that kind of money.

Thanks for the mention! By the time you go custom cost creep can get in there and it ends up being to expensive.

Sliver - anything available at Ikea?

Nah, nothing of the corner variety. It's more rare than I would have expected. Even finding a corner vanity where the sink comes out at a 45 was tough to find.
