One or one-and-a-half-story Craftsman houses are called bungalows. The Berthelot bungalow exemplifies the style with its wide, deep front porch, supported by thick, simple columns which sit on brick pedestals.
-
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.
-
A major element of the bungalow cottage interior is the living-room fireplace, emphasized by brick, clinker brick or cobblestone. Contemporary art includes a clay scultpre by Louisiana artist Don Wright and collages and paintings by Dolly Berthelot. Her Mid-Eastern style abstracts, "Turkish Memories," a hand-pieced 1880's paisley, and antique Turkish kelims all reflect the Berthelot's beloved two years of living in Turkey and suggest her family's Lebanese heritage.
