Do what I did for our bathroom vanity. *Find what you like in a store,

Our Constitution needs to be used less as a shield
for the guilty and more as a sword for the victim.

I did about the same thing when designing the entertainment center
except I shopped online and then scaled to fit the space. Ikea was
about the only place I could find what I was remotely thinking of and
even then it was redesigned to my taste. Most places though have the
measurements listed on the site, if not e-mail them what you are
looking for.

Photographing can be tricky in some stores. We were at one store and
found a cabinet we liked (and some of the inspiration) and I took out
my wife's phone to take some pictures. The owner of the store started
yelling that we couldn't do that. His loss as we canceled the $2000
order for a sofa,recliner, and loveseat we placed 5 minutes before.
Even the saleswoman was mad over that as she was stunned at his
behavior. No wonder the place is out of business now. The store we
ended up at let us take all of the pictures we wanted but for the same
furniture we bought before we spent $50 more.
