[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 255675, member: 1136"]Would the proper term for this be a commode? Im looking in the book, Pennsylvania Country Antiques, and it says a commode is a moveable sink or wash stand with a closet underneath while a wash stand is technically a stand with no closet.. I think the word commode can be off putting. When i hear it all I thunk about is the way my MIL says it and uses it as the word toilet. :stop:[/QUOTE]
