Our farmhouse had a small, weird room right as you enter from the garage. It had a toilet but no sink, so it wasn't a real 1/2 bath. We removed the toilet and put up molding -and 16 heavy antique hooks. (We have a lot of bathrooms and didn't need another toilet )
Now we have the perfect mud room. All jackets, hats and filthy boots are removed before anyone gets into the main house. Plus there is room for brooms, mops, vacuums etc.
Its been given a new floor and repainted recently but I don't have photos of it in the new colors. It's been a lifesaver from the beginning.
Used a small bedroom downstairs for a wine cellar...used cigar boxes to tile one wall and field tile to hold wine bottles
Used an extra bedroom to create my craft room. So nice to be able to have a room that I can just the door if I'm in the middle of something and not worry about the mess. Also can now see exactly what supplies I have.
