Cottage 6 is Finished.

Cottage 6 is a simple 1300 sq ft cottage with a lot of care in the details. It's not everyday we installed duel heat lamps in the bath, a steam unit, a movie room, salvage barn siding flooring, and exposed rafter porches. Here's a pic of the house while climbing the hill from the brook.

And a shot looking eastward.

Standing in the kitchen/dining room looking into the living room. Note the elements - 2 chalkboard doors, exposed rafters in the kitchen, perfect old floors with hand cut nails.

A pic of the bathroom under the glow of the duel heat lamps. Clawfoot tub, vessel sink, and local bluestone on the floor.

Very large and roomy shower/steam room with glass tiles and bluestone flooring.

The office/spare bedroom.

Living room looking into the kitchen and up the stairs.

We started this cottage in November and worked pretty hard at through the winter. The owner was only able to visit 3 times during construction so our ability to understand the direction of the homeowner was put to the test since the collaboration was mostly pictures and phone calls. I think it's safe to say it worked out just fine.

Another architectural gem to decorate the landscape of Sullivan County.
