We claim: 1. A toilet bolt cover for hiding a toilet bolt extending upwardly through a mounting hole in a toilet base together with a toilet nut threaded upon the bolt, the cover comprising: (a) a base comprising: (i) a fiat circular portion having a diameter of about 20 to 50 mm, the flat portion having a hole adapted to accommodate the toilet bolt and having a descending member adapted for extending downwardly into the mounting hole in the toilet base to limit rotation of the base, the flat circular portion forming a substantially flat lower surface adapted to rest flushly upon the toilet base except for the descending member; and (ii) a vertical cylindrical wall portion extending upwardly around the flat portion, the wall portion having an internal surface with an inner diameter greater than the nut providing sufficient space to allow a tool to fit onto the nut and having an external surface that contains threads; and (b) a cap comprising: (i) a dome portion; and (ii) a cylindrical portion descending from the dome, the cylindrical portion having internal threads adapted to mate with the threads on the external surface of the base. 2. The toilet bolt cover of claim 1 wherein the flat portion has a thickness of about 1 to 10 mm and a diameter of about 30 to 40 mm. 3. The toilet bolt cover of claim 2 wherein the base comprises a single descending member and wherein the descending member is oblong in shape. 4. The toilet bolt cover of claim 3 wherein the height of the wall portion of the base is about 5 to 30 mm. 5. The toilet bolt cover of claim 4 wherein the base additionally comprises a flexible annular flange. 6. A toilet bolt cover for hiding a portion of a toilet bolt extending upwardly through a mounting hole in a toilet base along with a nut threaded upon the bolt, the cover comprising: (a) a base comprising: (i) a disc portion having a perimeter, a diameter of about 20 to 40 mm, a centrally located hole adapted to accommodate the toilet bolt, and an oblong descending member adapted for fitting within the mounting hole in the toilet base to limit rotation of the base, the disc portion forming a substantially flat lower surface adapted to rest flushly upon the toilet base except for the descending member; and (ii) a cylindrical wall extending vertically from the perimeter of the disc portion, the wall having an internal surface with an inner diameter greater than the nut providing sufficient space to allow a tool to fit onto the nut and having an external surface that contains threads; (b) a cap comprising a dome having internal threads for mating with the external threads of the base. 7. The toilet bolt cover of claim 6 wherein the cap tapers outwardly. 8. The toilet bolt cover of claim 7 wherein the descending member includes an integral sleeve. 9. The toilet bolt cover of claim 8 wherein the base additionally comprises a flexible annular flange. 10. A toilet bolt cover for hiding a portion of a toilet bolt extending upwardly through a mounting hole in a toilet base along with a nut threaded upon the bolt, the cover comprising: (a) a base comprising: (i) a disc portion having a perimeter, a diameter of about 20 to 40 mm, a centrally located hole adapted to accommodate the toilet bolt, and an oblong descending member with an integral sleeve adapted for fitting within the mounting hole in the toilet base to limit rotation of the base; (ii) a cylindrical wall with external threads extending vertically from the perimeter of the disc portion; and (iii) a flexible annular flange extending outwardly past the cylindrical wall of the base; and (b) an outwardly tapering cap comprising a dome having internal threads for mating with the external threads of the base and for sitting upon the flange.
