  In 1909, in his Craftsman Homes, Gustav Stickley sought to tell what the style was all about, declaring that a bungalow was a "house reduced to its simplest form," one that "nevr fails to harmonize with its surroundings, because its low broad proportions and lack of ornamentation give it a character so natural and unaffected that its seems to blend into any landscape".
• 
  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.
• 
  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.
