I found this Dresser in 1998 and just knew I wanted to make it into a sink for my Master bathroom....You see it's all about the Era with me....
I have 2 separate bathroom in the master bath...I already shown you the Barber shop one that the "His" and the is the "Her" one ha ha!!
Isn't the soap dispenser and tissue box pretty...my Mama painted that for me many years ago..sighs The lamp shade I made.... also the lights on each side were gas lights ca.1880 the shade are called "Elsie" that my Wally electrified for this space...
The towel holder is a Drapery hold...As I couldn't find any thing I really liked for this space and didn't want a towel bar.....Hope I didn't bore you too much with my Antiques once again...Now on to the HUGE THANK YOU...I have a gift card from Amazon for $50.00 I would love to give away...and your probably wondering WHY...Well I tell you it about blew me away this week to see I had over 300 followers on my silly non-sense Blog...When I started this journey I felted very lucky to have my family just come by...Now to win this just leave me a comment telling me you want it...that's the only rule you see I don't want anyone jumping through hoops for this...If your a follower that's Wonderful if your not that's Wonderful this is just my way of saying THANK YOU....I will have Mr. Random number thingy pick a number and announce it on March first....I will have Amazon mail it to the Lucky winner...This is like a Sally Fields moment for me YOU LIKE ME, YOU REALLY LIKE ME !!!
From my mountain top to yours until next time,

Hello Gloria,
Your bathroom is very beautiful and so very feminine! I love the vanity. I always love coming to your blog and seeing all your wonderful antiques and the stories behind them.
~ Tracy
What a beautiful bathroom. I love the use of all the antiques in this room. Keep the photos coming I for one am enjoying all your antiques. Have blessed day. Madeline
Hi Gloria!
I have saw sinks sunken into old dressers before and thought they were so pretty but yours is gorgeous. The petaled bowl and faucet handles are just the right touch. How clever to use a drapery holder for a towel holder. That is a fantastic idea. Will have to remember that one. LOL!
Put me in for the drawing but I am usually just lurking around reading your posts.So is not necessary.
Lona
I've been away from blogging since my big move from Michigan to Florida. Moving takes so much out of you and pulls at my free time. I've missed visiting your blog. What beautiful pic you've posted today! Your mamas pieces are lovely and that's a great sink area.
I would love be a part of your give away, how kind of you.
Gl♥ria...you are right...we DO really like you. All of our styles may not be the same, but if they were, how boring life would be! I absolutely LOVE your sink and especially the faucet set in your HERS bathh. It is so pretty! I would love to be entered into your Thank You drawing even tho there is no reason to Thank us..WE thank you for such a pretty place to visit! Have a wonderful day...

I've had my eye out for a dresser for some time with the idea to do it as a sink vanity for my bathroom, so far I just haven't found the one. Of course right now I am reminded of our early days and RMS and thinking of the midnight raids we use to plan to help ourselves to your treasures. Everything is just so beautiful. You know I love old things and I am sentimental so how could yours not speak to me. Isn't it nice to have those pieces that we use that keep our love ones near.
Hey sis! Girl you know if I moved to California to live in your apartment I'd be decorating with stuff out that barn you have so packed full of treasures and that apartment would have to be might big to fit all my Burly Boys in cause you know they ain't getting too far from mama! lol The couple that owns this house are just the sweetest things and they took $75 off the monthly rent they were asking before we even moved in!!!! Is that a blessing or what!!!
Girl I love seeing your girly bathroom (and yes I even remember seeing your manly bathroom with those certain little unmentionables hanging on the wall that made my mouth fly open and my cheeks burn like fire I was blushing so bad from such exposure to this old Southern girl!!!! lol lol)
I didn't know your mama painted those beautiful pieces..what treasures sis!!! Great idea using the curtain holder for a towel hanger and I have always wanted a beautiful cabinet to put a sink in...I'd even take one new already made if it looked like a piece of furniture! lol
great giveaway sis...throw my name in for sure and crinkle those edges...have a great day dear friend...love ya !~Picket~
We can't help but love you, dear Gloria:-) Such a generous giveaway which we should be giving YOU for being such a wonderful person!!!
Oh, be still my heart, how I LOVE your washroom! Such a terrific idea to put a sink in that vintage dresser, just gorgeous!! I'm a true fan of flower garlands, I even have some over my window dressings:-) Everything just looks fabulous!!!! xoxo
I like you I really like you and I love that sink you sunk in that beautiful antique chest, wow it is just so beautiful...Congratulations on the 300 followers, that is my goal to get 300 followers, not there yet, but I am trying....love that we don't have to jump through hoops and sign our life away girl, cause I need that..I think I need that 50 bucks cause I'm a shopper like you, not that I could keep up....love the items your mom painted, so pretty and precious...come on over I have a blue kind of candy dish kind of thing I sure would like to know what it is, it was my moms and it is a frosty pretty blue glass, I know you will probably know....take care my friend....Phyllis
Hi Gloria, How special to have the pieces your mama painted...they are beautiful! This bathroom is so feminine and pretty.

Hi Gloria. This is not a silly blog. This is the funnest blog there is. I love the HER bathroom. Let's see - I'm in love with the dresser, lamp, wall sconces, tissue holder,.... I really like that color, too. Your bathroom shouts glamour and wealth. You bet you can throw me in the hat for 50 bucks. You know, I've never won anything in my entire life. Good thing I don't go to the casinos. I went one time with some girlfriends years ago. They all won some, and I lost every penny right away. But what the heck. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Keep posting those beautiful treasures of yours. Rosie
Hey Grandma,
I remember when you and grandpa were putting in all that bathroom stuff. It's sooo beautifull grandma!! you are such a great decorator. I miss you grandma, I wish we lived closer so kyra can run all through your house, and I could blow the fog horn at her hahaha. Talk to you later Grandma.
Love
Josh
Hi Gloria
What a totally romantic counter you have in your washroom...oh my. It is stunning...your whole washroom is beautiful and so feminine and oh I would love to spending time in there..*s*..
I love seeing sinks in repurposed furniture as you have done.
PLEASE do enter my name in your giveaway. How very generous...good luck to me!! to us all.
*hugs*
Judi
I do like you, I really like you! I feel guilty saying to put my name in the hat since I already won one of your giveaways...but, not that guilty!
I love what you did with the dresser...so perfect for your house. I have a couple dressers very similar stored away in the basement...used in the house where we had all antiques. I just put one in my dish room to hold candles and "stuff" for tablescapes.
300 followers...wow!
Your bathroom is perfectly "you". I know you love it! I like you, love you. :-) I'm getting ready to move so the gift certificate would be super!
Come see me ~
xoxo

LIKE? Oh come on! We adore you, Sweetie! HOW I missed this post...never mind I know how.
I am finding out that if you don't post for four or five days, that folks drift away..yep..they do.
And LOOK at the comments you got here...good mercy me! :):) Yep, you are definitely LOVED!
Hugs!
Mona
Love how you've used the old dresser. In my powder room I have a chest, although not an antique, that I put a sink in. As a builder and remodeler, I've done a number of powder rooms using furniture, both new and antique, with sinks. I think I'll have to make a post about that.
Oops. Forgot to say that I would love to be in the drawing for your $50 Amazon gift card. I'm an avid reader, so I would put that to very good use. Thanks for being so thoughtful. I hope to get to 100 followers soon, and when I do, I think an Amazon gift card is a great idea for a give away.
Hi Sis...
Ohhh...Gloria, I am just spellbound by your fabulous Victorian bath...seriously!!! Shoot, once I got in this pretty bath, I'd never want to come out!!! You know, I just love, love, LOVE your antique dresser turned into the sink cabinet! It's gorgeous...what a treasure find!!! You know, my Grandma has a dresser very similar and she wrote my name on the back of it when I was just 17 yrs. old...to be mine! It's at my mom's home and she is using it in her guestroom. I'm still really hoping to get that dresser someday!!! It's the same kind of oak as yours but has a lighter, kind of yellowish finish to it! I like the darker finish on yours! Anyway, I just love how ya'll fitted that beautiful Victorian style sink in it!!! You have the top accessorized so beautifully! I love your tissue and lotion holders! Did your mama do ceramics? What a sweet treasure to have!!! Ohhh...and you know that I love your pretty pink rose Victorian lamp shade...you're so talented, Sis!!! I have to tell you that those fabulous Victorian sconces caught my eye..right off the get-go! They are just breathtaking...and sooo very perfect in this pretty bath!!! I love them!!! And...I love your beautiful floral garland too! You're absolutely right about that being so popular with the Victorian era!!! Well Sis...this was such a GRAND tour...I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! Ohh...and how nice to have a "his" and "hers" bath...I would love that!!! I remember seeing your barber's bath but you should showcase it again, Darlin'! It's fabulous in it's own right as well!!! I just adore your beautiful home...you really have done such a magnificent job of staying "true to the period"...Victorian in it's finest!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!
Well Sweetie...I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend! We had such beautiful weather today...almost felt spring-like but then we are supposed to get snow tonight! Sheeshh! I have a big ol' pot of homemade chicken and noodles on! You and Len should come over! Hehe!
Love you, honey!
