  The hipped roof is a distinguishing feature of the bungalow style which is particularly appropriate for hot climates, since warm air rises up into the high roof and leaves the rooms below cooler.
• 
  The Craftsman (or Arts and Crafts) movement in America developed as a reaction against the machine-made ornamental excess of the Victorian era. This was a back-to-nature movement, reflecting a desire to return to simpler times when craftsmen worked with their hands and took pride in detail. Structural detail and the use of good materials were prized over applied ornamentation. The bungalow has its roots in California, where this style was well suited to the warm climate. It then spread across the country to become one of the most common middle-class designs from 1910 to the 1930's.
• 
  The bungalow interior, both in plan and detail, was direct and functional. The front door opens directly into the living room which in turn connects to the dining area. The walls and ceilings are the original stucco. The Berthelot's removed the 1950's celetex tile which raised the ceiling nearly two inches and accentuated the picture molding. Standing sentinel is a heavy timber folk art carving believed to an old St. Nicholas. Dolly spotted this treasure in 1999 under a table at an annual Lion's Club flea market in Jay, N. Y., in the Adirondacks and she continues to unravel its mysterious heritage.
• 
  The distinctive Craftsman window has a single pane of glass in the lower sash and several panes in the upper sash. Art Nouveau and Art Deco antiques and Turkish handicrafts from the Berthelot's travels blend with contemporary modular sofas.
• 
  After 13 years of wrestling with a problem kitchen, a late night Eureka led to an entire transformation. The old pine glass-front cupboards had originally flanked the dining entry to the kitchen. The cabinets blocked views and forced foot traffic right through the work area. The couple wanted to keep these antique built-ins (which Ron had refinished), but needed more counter space. Suddenly Dolly realized those two cabinets could shift over to the only solid dining area wall, be pushed together, and solve several problems. The rest was easy.
• 
  The jalousie windows turned into shallow shelves are an ideal place for the family's endless small collectables, early to mid-20th century toys, tins, hand puppets, and ethnic dolls.

  Rough and irregular brickwork is distinctive of the craftsman style. Clinker-bricks were originally discarded because they were discolored or distorted. Around 1920, they were discovered by Craftsman architects to be usable, distinctive and charming! The name "clinker-brick" comes from the sound that they would make when banged together, being heavier than regular bricks. Click here to see other examples of clinker bricks.
