Found my Victorian on Zillow. Thought I'd share a pic. They changed the tub (removed window), also bathroom mirror, but the rest is mine.

 

[Katrina71]

I did the tile, flooring, sink, and toilet.

 

[Katrina71]

The mirror I had was oval and tilted on a bar. May have gotten broken.

The house was built in 1912. We all lean a little at that age. Actually she was more straight than any house I've had since.
