Settled in the 1680s by Welsh Quakers, it was originally founded as two separate villages. Primarily residential, it also contains two commercial corridors and is home to major radio and television broadcast sites.

Project on Amherst Road, Bala Cynwyd, PA

Master suite creation with walk-in closets in a depression era stone Tudor. One unique thing about this home is that it was built with the solid steel interior framing. What a challenge it was moving walls in this house!

Project on Radcliff Road, Bala Cynwyd, PA

By doing major structural surgery on this home on Radcliff Rd, we opened up the whole first floor, renovated the kitchen and expanded it into the adjacent garage, turned most of the garage into a spacious family room and connected this into the front entry hall eliminating the dead ends and creating a wonderful circular flow through their home.

As an interior designer I have had such a good experience working with Cottage Industries, Inc. Having worked with many contractors I know how crucial and how rare it is to find one in which every professional communicates well and in which projects are finished on time and
