Try plain white (clear) vinegar.
That toilet looks awesome... and I can't believe I just said that. lol
Redoing the half bath
Re: Redoing the half bath- looking for advice
CLR might take off some of the staining, but my experience has been never quite well enough, as the rust has usually made its way through the ceramic. Cant hurt to try though. Super pill box toilet! Some refurbish work on the hardware and you should have a very handsome loo!

Remember Dan (Banner) at the old site who wrote whole treatises on terlets? I hope all is well with them.

Re: Redoing the half bath- looking for advice
We're slowly working on the bathroom. Yesterday we removed the wallpaper and I put the first coats of mud on the damaged areas of the walls. The big hole was from a few years ago we were curious as to what was under our steps.
In the garage there was this corner cabinet that seemed out of place. We suspected it was from this bathroom. There are some marks on the wall leading us to believe it is. We are going to strip it and paint the inside and stain the outside. There is a nice golden stain finish under the hinges and latch.
Here it is in the garage
And me holding it in the bathroom

Cool corner cabinet! Could you put a mirror on the inside of the door, to give the door dual purpose?

Here is a link to the only true porcelain enamel restoration place in the country (as far as I know). Your sink is small so maybe it won't cost too much and shipping would be quite reasonable by freight (uShip.com).

Have you tried Bar Keepers' Friend on the sink? My porcelain sink had heavy iron stains from years of someone not using iron-out salt in the softener. It returned the bowl to white.

Also give CLR (calcium, lime, rust) a try. I've had success with it on some things.
