Cottage vs Craftsman

So recently I was asked what is the difference between a craftsman and a cottage home. So here you go.

A Craftsman house is dark by nature. The homes where built to show off the workmanship of the trade. They are usually very heavy in wood work. Not fancy but full of character. Usually with beams across the ceilings, and built ins.

A Cottage house tend to not have as much wood work. Less built ins. More character in the building of the house instead of the decorating. Such as a barrel ceiling. Usually has a good amount of natural light.

I hope that cleared a few things up.
