Help me build my idea for storage!?

I need extra storage when I move next month. I want to build something that would be like a closet/storage unit, but free standing. I want it to look nice, it will be in the dining room. What I have in my head looks similiar to an armoire. About 6+ft tall, and maybe 4-6ft feet wide?? Two doors on the front, inside 2-3 shelves with lots of space on bottom. What would this be called and where can I find plans to build it?? Or buy it would be even better! And incase you were wondering, it would be used to store things like the dog food, board games, toilet paper/paper towels.. the things I currently have in a builtin closet, but at the new house I dont have much storage.. Thanks so much!

1. Check out Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/ They have good furniture and it's not too expensive. If you have something like that custom built it would be a minimum of a thousand dollars, and you'll only find cheap fall-apart furniture at the chain stores. If you really want to build it yourself, see http://www.woodworkingplanfinder.com/plans/free/armoire-plans.htm or http://www.woodworkingplanfinder.com/plans/free/ Good luck to you!!
2. look in the furniture stores for TV cabinets they are exactly what you described and everyone will think you have a TV in there. Not dog food.
3. Hutch and cabinet at IKEA.
