Wood floors can be found throughout the home, while white walls draw focus to era-defining hallmarks like ornate pressed-tin ceilings and cast-iron fireplaces, both of which can be seen in a casual living room.

The powder room also includes the small square tiles, however a gray stone vanity and black mirror frame add a contrasting element, and a brass light fixture adds a metallic accent.
