BETHLEHEM, PA COTTAGE

Oznell — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 22:53:53 GMT

Oh, boy, Linda Harbrecht has a Pennsylvania cottage with so many of the things I like.

Dutch door, love.

Almost effortlessly cozy!

The things she likes, I like-- falling-apart old books, landscapes, baskets, all manner of antiques....

Antique corner cabinet with old pewter and bottles--

Lovely copper collection in kitchen. She actually said, "I love to polish my copper" !!

She displays seasonal plates on her sister's cool architectural plate rack. She considers her cherry countertops a homey touch, and likes the warmth.

It's an adorable, traditional kitchen with the nook, antique table and Hitchcock chairs...

Everywhere in the house, there are charming vignettes--

Porch like sitting area--

Beautiful, woodsy yard--

Looks beautiful. Reminds me of my Dad's home including pictures and furniture.

All in good taste, nicely personalized, and not overdone.

I could very easily make myself at home.

Seems more of a house than a cottage. I like the decor and would feel comfortable there.

Lovely cottage. I especially like the overall coziness, the dutch door, the topiaries, the copper accents, the pretty wood counter tops and the wooded yard......

So cozy. Love the shady back yard too.

I truly love everything about this house! The outside, the inside, the decorating, the yard - everything! It's perfect!

A few extra shots I didn't have time to post yesterday--

Her color palette seems to really complement the woodsy setting. She said she loves moss green, paired with brown--

More of the green with brown, in the velvet chairs and their throw pillows. In summer, she slipcovers the chairs in a cotton ticking stripe-- fresh. In the background, pretty tall case clock and gold Federal mirror.

Close up of the corner cabinet--

Love the charming little breakfast nook, wide sills, gingham curtains....

Very pretty, comfy and cozy inside and out. Love the Dutch door, we had one in the kitchen in the house I grew up in.

What a lovely home! I love that antique corner cabinet. That kitchen looks like it could belong in an English home - I really like it.

This time of the year really makes me miss living up north in beautiful western NY...sigh.

I too am ready to move in with my brood! What a warm and welcoming home. Love the porchlike sitting areas, I am picturing it with sunlight streaming in but it is equally lovely on a rainy day. The patio is a stunning setting, is the small 'church' part of her property? Is it a storage facility? It ads a wonderful dimension to the property.

Thank you for posting this, it is lovely!

I appreciate the color choices. Very pleasing.

The screen shots are sort of limiting but it seems to be a warm, pleasant and cozy home with some lovely elements.

To me it's dark, dreary and cramped with all that stuff in it. I was raised in a tiny house, but lots of windows and a bright open feel. Houses like this just aren't for me. I need windows and sunshine. And higher ceilings and less of everything else.

Like I've probably said a thousand times, this is so not my style but is nicely done. I'm not fond of the greens used but it fits in with the woodsy location of the house. That sofa would definitely be replaced if this were mine though.

I just spotted that video on YouTube yesterday. I've never heard of her before although it was nice to see her cozy home. She only lives a few miles away from me.

Good question, @We rescue cats , I assumed it was a cute shed of some kind, but, didn't see the entire video where she talks about the yard. Agree, it's such a nice little touch in the landscape...

Love the outdoor area, love the porch and love the kitchen-do not care for the living room furnishnings or decor at all-just not my style or taste.. Its very inviting though!!!
