Living room: Henley moved walls by the fireplace and entry, and vaulted the ceilings in the living room and main bedroom to improve the sense of flow in the home. She kept remaining ceilings at 8 feet to maintain the sense coziness. (Bára B Photography)

Bathroom: Henley used fixtures in both nickel and brass in the bathrooms. The sink fixtures, she says, are easier to switch out, so she placed the on-trend brass there. For the showers, she used "classic and timeless" nickel. (Bára B Photography)
