Designer Amanda Reynal did a nice job on "bringing back" this old, historic cottage,  so representative of the quaint Catskill "artist colony" style.  Although a wee bit on the 'froo-froo' side for me,  it's very well done--   

A pleasant sitting area, that functions almost as a sunroom too--

I think the painted motto near the ceiling in this casual room is original to the 19th or early 20th century of the space--

Love the interesting "stepped" style of the brick fireplace--

I wouldn't say no to a bedroom fireplace...

Beautiful porch--

Love upstate New York.   The house reminds me of old-school Scandinavian country cottages, a breath of fresh air.  Things I like about it are-- the frequent use of the combo of blue and green,  attention to comfort,  painted floors, painted ceilings, built-in benches, old fashioned rocking chairs, vintage pottery and wicker, lots of light pouring in, and an air of cheer.

@Oznell  Clearly I am fond of "froo-froo."

It's interesting.  It's too cutesy for me.  I am not too fond of frou-frou!

I have some smiles and "no's".

I wish I could see the outside of the home, although, the door is the Mission (Arts and Crafts) style.

The living area is nice but the four tufted chairs are tedious.

I would prefer some variety.

In the casual room, more tufted chairs with no arms; too many similar designs. Also, really have always disliked the style of the arm chair to the right, and not a fan of a built in bench where an antique can go.

The green bedroom with the fire place is poorly designed with  the bed in front of the window.

I'll take it!

@ECBG ,  here's a full shot of the exterior--

Liked it until I saw the bedroom with the fireplace....it's a no for me on the colors and staging of this room.

@Oznell  I lived in Upstate NY, and this home has that feel. This cottage is pretty big. I like how it was decorated.

@Oznell 

Many thanks!

I believe that it was the Germans that had the 2nd story overhang.

Still, I  see several Mission Arts and Crafts style.

The outside colors don't have unity with the interior.

 I prefer the dining room,  the hall bench, and back porch
