One electric light hangs from the ceiling in the center of the room. The corner cabinet has more silver tea pieces. There are two cascading plate displays on each side of the corner cabinet. A bedroom is visible through the door on the left side of the photograph. The bedframe is metal with a small wooden rocking chair at the foot of the bed.
