The tub was huge, also marble, & big enough to swim in. Behind it was a beautiful mirror, edged in smaller squares of mirror and set off by fluted, peach colored mirror. Above the lavatory was a similar mirror which was smaller. The radiator was chromium and made up of bars, on which things could be hung
