About The Cottage
At The Cottage on Kingsley, we design layered, story-filled spaces that invite connection and feel distinctly personal. Based in Hamilton, New York, our work blends approachable warmth with refined detail — creating homes and hospitality spaces that ground people in gratitude and bring them together. We believe design should be both beautiful and deeply felt, transforming everyday moments into something worth celebrating.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
Meet the Founder,
Jess Bergeron
Hi, I’m Jess — founder and principal designer of The Cottage on Kingsley.
I’ve always believed that good design is about more than how a space looks — it’s about how it makes you feel. With a background in fashion and renovation and a love for storytelling, I create spaces that feel lived-in, layered, and deeply personal. My approach blends beauty with comfort and a touch of California-cool ease, resulting in designs that invite you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile.
Whether I’m designing a cozy family home or reimagining a local restaurant, my goal is the same: to craft spaces that spark gratitude, connection, and that quiet “this feels right” moment every time you walk through the door.
