A few weeks ago, I shared this photo:
This was an old oak dresser that Motor Man made into a vanity for our half bath. A few of you asked to see the finished product. The room is very small, so it was difficult to get good photos.
Motor Man thought this old timey “water closet” would go well with the dresser/vanity. I agreed. AND he installed it himself. What a guy.
We found this little cupboard several years ago at an antique shop in South Carolina. See the wooden knob? That’s the handle to a little door that flips down, providing the perfect place to keep spare rolls of “necessary paper”.
So that’s a look at our half bath. Old-fashioned and country. Just like us.
these days of mine 
Wonderful “conversion” in the half bath! Clever too. I just LOVE the way the dresser looks after all the work to restore and “re-purpose” it. MM (and you) get big points for giving new life to old and beautiful pieces of furniture.

I love it! My mother-in-law would have loved it too. Your hand towel ladder is such a lovely touch, too. MM is certainly handy.
Have I told you that I ADORE old fashioned & country? Your home looks so warm & inviting, just like you.
Cheers!
MJ
AND she and MM and their house are all warm and inviting!
Oh, I like it. Your Motor Man is very clever!!!!.
I remember when we found it and decided what to do with it. Love that little bath and all the interesting things in it.
Great “necessary room”. You and Motor Man are so talented! Perfect match!
This looks like a charming water closet. You & MM have done a great job putting the old fashioned items together in a wonderful and useful way. 🙂
That is adorable! I love how the vanity turned out and I agree that the old fashioned water closet-y toilet was the perfect match!
Wow Dianna! That is just beautiful. Your Motor Man is very talented.
What a handy guy! I love it!!
Oh I like it!! Thanks for sharing this with us. I’m going to show the vanity to Popa. 😉
That might just be the coolest vanity I’ve ever seen!
i like a handy man!
How crafty and creative! Just love it!
Remember these projects well ! Very unique!! Think it was all a success .. don’t encounter too many drop-chain “water closets”!
That necessary room turned out very nicely. Love the sink/cabinet/mirror.
I love the vanity/sink!!! That is such a great original idea. I have never seen one like that.
Very nice! Love the country feel and that vanity. Your MM did a great job.
Wow! I REALLY love it! Great job Motor Man!
Just fabulous. Motor Man is a man of many talents to be sure.
Old fashioned and country! The best!
Motor Man is a very good guy!
The necessary paper cupboard-darling. Good thing we don’t live close, it would go missing.
Nothing, *nothing* better than old fashioned and country! Love it all.
I love your half bath, I am as country as you get. Chuck also is very handly with his hands like Motor Man and built us some wonderful things in and for our home. We are lucky to have men who can build things!
