June 25, 2024 by 37 Comments

In my home in Georgia, the main-level, half/guest bath is outfitted with a nice-sized vanity. The cabinet is so large, in addition to toilet paper, I use it to store the paper towels that I use in the kitchen that's just a few feet away.   The half bath in the Dollhouse in Ohio is a very different story!
