www.medicinecabinetshop.com

There is actually a website strictly for medicine cabinets.   No joke. It's called Medicine Cabinet Shop.com.  Go figure.  There is a website for anything.  I found that one by searching "white medicine cabinet" with Google.  But the prices were not what I was hoping to pay.  So, back to Google.  One of the links that came up on my second search was a picture of a cabinet on Amazon.com.  A search in Amazon.com's home garden department brought up over 600 results.  The prices ranged from a mere $16.68 (top quality, I'm sure) to hundreds of dollars for a single cabinet. 

I plan to do a wall-mounted cabinet so, I don't want one that's too deep.  And, although I don't like the oversized mirror I have now, I do like that the mirror helps my small space appear larger.  So, I'd like the mirror on the cabinet to be substantial, but not too big.  Unfortunately, these search parameters cannot be applied to my Amazon.com search.  Fortunately, the price jumps to over $75.00 on page 2 of my search and that drastically narrows my choices.  From the Amazon.com search I ended up with the following two choices.  First, the Heartland White Medium Cabinet.  It's your basic medicine cabinet with a white border, chrome knob and two inside shelves.  The depth is just over 5 inches which is probably pushing my limit. 

The second option is the Foremost Newport Small Mirror in Antique White.  It's pictured here with coordinating pieces.  I like the wide frame around the mirror and it is only 1 inch deep. The dimensions are 23" x 29".  I will have to make a mock up from paper to get a better idea of the size and whether or not the mirrored portion is large enough.  In the picture, it appears to sit inside the wall, but the Amazon.com description doesn't specify.  It does, however, appear in the sub-category "wall-mounted mirrors."  These cabinets are $32.72 and $65.99, respectively.

Well, this is only day one of my search.  Who knows?  Maybe there are hundreds of websites solely dedicated to finding the right wall-mounted white medicine cabinet.  We shall see.
