Question by Dianne S: Ideas for designing a victorian bathroom?
I have a victorian house that did not have indoor plumbing when it was built. One of the bedrooms was converted to a bathroom. It is HUGE and has a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. There is a large area of wasted space right in the middle of the room. There is plenty of room for furnishings, cabinets for storage, vanity tables, etc. There is also a crystal chandalier in the middle of the ceiling which I am keeping! Any ideas for what type of furnishings to add to keep it authentic? Antiques to look for? Ways to make it functional? Thanks!
