Advice worth repeating

HOW DO YOU KEEP COMING UP with new ideas? people sometimes ask
people who know Im decades into an old-house career. The answer transcends magazines or Arts & Crafts, of course. Anyone who is deep into a
subject knows that knowledge leads one deeper still; there will always be
another layer to plumb (not to mention another bathroom).
Ive had to be mindful, in fact, to come up with old ideas. Certain
advice reveals its wisdom only when we hear it again and nd it still
applies. Ive been thinking about what Id be sure to tell the new owner
of a Craftsman house or bungalow. Heres a start. Send me your rules!
DONT RUSH IN: Good advice for everyone, perhaps especially for owners
of 20th century houses, who may see them as old but not historic. Learn
about your style before you tear out the little replace windows or
inglenook benches. Corollary: Clean it rst. (A lot of
times we are overreacting to lth.)
ASSUME YOU CAN FIX almost any well-built component of the past. Both lumber and general craftsmanship were better than todays average. Windows,
for example, may be patched, scraped and painted,
then rehung. New replacement windows will notably
change the look of the house and introduce modern
systems designed for replacement or obsolescence.
DONT OVER-LIGHT with ceiling spots, recessed cans,
and bright bulbs in an effort to lighten dark rooms.
Like white-painted walls against a dark oak wainscot, strong lighting will
make the woodwork appear black. For a bungalow ambiance you will
come to love, stay mellow to bring out the woods highlights. Install dimmers. Related: Dont paint varnished woodwork, especially not white.
CREATE SEATING AREAS in a long or wide living room that spans the
house. It doesnt work to put furniture against the walls and leave the
middle open. Consider separate conversation groupings, using area rugs
for denition. Direct trafc with the furniture plan. (to be continued)

Tucker to Lead Museum

of American Arts & Crafts
Kevin W. Tucker is the rst director of the Museum
of the American Arts and Crafts Movement in St.
Petersburg, Florida. When it opens in early 2018,
says Tucker, nowhere else will one be able to enjoy
such a comprehensive perspective on the creative
energy, beauty, and legacy of the American Arts &
Crafts movement.
The museum will be the home of the collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation, established by retired businessman Rudy Ciccarello in 2004. The Foundations extensive collection of work in the Arts & Crafts genre includes unparalleled
works of furniture, metalwork, lighting, ceramics, paintings, prints, photography,
and other objects produced between 1900 and 1930.
Tucker comes to the museum from the Dallas Museum of Art, where he curated the rst comprehensive examination of the life and work of Gustav Stickley for
the exhibition Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement in 2010.
During his 12-year tenure in Dallas, he oversaw the doubling of the endowment for
decorative arts acquisitions and brought major works of art to the museum. He has
lectured and written extensively on the subject of Arts & Crafts design, including an
essay on Newcomb metalwork in Women, Art, and Social Change: The Newcomb
Pottery Enterprise, in 2014.
Tucker holds a masters degree in applied history and museum studies from
the University of South Carolina. In 2007, he received a Winterthur Research Fellowship to work on Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement.

was a major project in this owners upgrade of a Long

Island house built in the 1950s. The old kitchen was dated and confused:
Colonial Revival mouldings on stock golden-oak cabinets, a tiny island with
clipped corners, low-end laminate countertops and white appliances, all with
a smattering of generic wallpaper. Homeowner Robert Jackman hatched the overall
design and suggested many of the details.
I went to college in Southern California, Jackman says, and fell in love with
the Greene & Greene houses in Pasadena. Over time, I became more and more a
student of the Arts & Crafts movement.

Jackman and his wife, Naomi, knew theyd look to the Arts & Crafts vocabulary for the renovation. He chose traditional wood species: quarter-sawn white oak,
American cherry. This is new work, frankly embracing a professional-style range and
a large, built-in refrigerator. (All appliances are by Sub-Zero and Wolf.) The design
uses motifs of the past; the range is built into a hearth-like niche, for example, and a
colonnade divides the room. The period-inspired kitchen features framed white-oak
cabinetry, a wide-plank wood foor, and banquette seating that evokes a breakfast
nook. Lighting is transitional, alluding to the gaslight and early-electric eras.
Because of my work in cabinetmaking, I was fussy about joinery, Jackman says,
insisting on traditional mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joints. He himself built some
key pieces, including the kitchen table, several doors, even the basement staircase.
The center island features a 2"-thick end-grain countertop in a checkerboard
pattern (alternating walnut and maple) with a mahogany border. The prep area near
the stove is a pizza station featuring a low-height marble slab for kneading dough.

1915, fireplace surrounds

in both builders bungalows and
fine Craftsman homes likely were
done in brick. What we think of as Arts
& Crafts tile really dates to the 1920s, including, for example, the work of Ernest
Batchelder and tiles produced by Malibu
Potteries and Catalina Clay Products. Art
tile is appreciated more than ever in toEFORE
days revival, so its no surprise that tile

is so often chosen for new work that becomes the focal point.
As youll see here, new installations run from period-correct surrounds
in earthy colors to unique interpretations.
Look for nature themes, mosaics, and motifs borrowed from Greene & Greene, C.R.
Mackintosh, and others.

that
a big, focal-point freplace is
essential to an Arts & Crafts
housenot just for warmth, but as an
emotional center and offer of hospitality. No wonder bungalows from Southern California to Miami were built with
freplaces! But what does a true Arts &
Crafts freplace surround look like? Facing materials could be almost anything
that wouldnt burn: brick, rubble stone
or river rock, tile, terra cotta, cast stone,
even concrete. Despite the present-day
perception that an Arts & Crafts freplace should be clad in art tile, the most
common material for builder bungalows and many other houses of the period was probably brick, especially before
1920. (Even tilemaker Ernest Batchelders home, built in 1909, started life
with a brick freplace.)
Proportions and massing are just
as important as the material used on
the face. Unlike the classical proportions of freplaces in most homes built
from the 18th to early 20th centuries,
Arts & Crafts freplaces are broad and
USTAV
STICKLEY
BELIEVED
sometimes blocky, often fanked by

bookcases or bookended by seating
areas termed inglenooks. In transitional freplaces with tall and narrow
coal-burning freboxes, the brick or tile
is scaled down to ft a smaller, narrower hearth; glossy lozenge-shaped 1" x
6" or 1" x 3" tiles are typical, similar to
those in late Victorian freplaces.
WILLIAM WRIGHT
( TO P ) ;
GROSS & DALEY
Surround patterns were inventive,

especially in brick and tile. If you are
lucky enough to have an original brick
or tile freplace in good condition, do not
feel compelled to paint, reclad, or otherwise jazz it up. Even a deceptively simple
brick or tile surround is an authentic bit
of Arts & Crafts decorative history.
BRICK
For centuries, bricks have been standardized at 4" wide x 4" tall x 8" long. One exception is Roman brick, favored by Frank
Lloyd Wright in many of his Prairie freplaces. Narrow Roman bricks measure 4"
wide x 2" tall x 12" long. These standard
dimensions lend themselves to a running-bond pattern, where the joints in each

row are staggered by half a bricka classic
look for Craftsman and Prairie styles.
If the running-bond pattern is
most typicalespecially given the stout
width of many hearthsvertical running bond also appears, often where the
hearth is taller than it is wide. In other instances, the running-bond pattern
might be interrupted by sections of brick
turned at right angles or fanned to create arches and other pattern variations.
In some cases, single bricks are inserted
below the mantel in lieu of corbels, or
rows of projecting bricks laid to create a
recess or its illusion.
For real texture, though, it was
common to intersperse a mantel mostly made of brick with locally available
stone, an accent tile or two, or (most delightfully) clinker brick.
Once a low-cost alternative to
standard brick, misshapen and vitrifed
clinker bricks gave a freplace a soughtafter organic appearance. Period brick
colorations are earthy, running from light
pink and buff to deep reds, purples, and
browns. Clinkers, of course, offer a more
extreme range of colors, from fre-engine
red or faming orange to blackish-purple.
Another exception is bricks clad in terra
cotta, offering a more smoothly fnished
look than regular brick.
TILE
Tile installations from the early years

of the Arts & Crafts era look subdued
compared to contemporary installations.
Theyre often subtle, geometrically simple
compositions of matte-glazed feld tile.
In a freplace in a 1910 California Bungalow designed by architect Glen Jarvis,
for example, the feld tile is scaled to ft
the proportions of the freplace surround
enclosing the frebox opening. The legs
at left and right of the opening are exactly

two tiles wide. The bridge between the legs

(i.e., the center over the frebox) is exactly
two rows deep.
Relief tile and scenic tile were unusual before about 1915. (In 1910, Ernest
Batchelder was a West Coast pioneer infuenced by the older Grueby Faience and
Moravian Tileworks in the East.) When
more decorative tiles came along, they arrived in a big way. Much of the art tile we
think of as Arts & Crafts actually refects
the styles, designs, and glaze colors made
by dozens of potteries in the 1920s, when
tile production was at its pre-World War II
height. Designs were based on romantic

themes drawn from the AngloEuropean medieval past, or newfound Mayan or Aztec glyphs
and Native American pottery, or the stylized
forest scenes of Bavaria or Switzerland.
Centered above the frebox, scenic tiles as
large as 8" x 16" provide a dramatic focal point.
Smaller accent tiles on a given themefowers
or vines, as examplestrail down the legs of
the freplace. One or two accent tiles may be
artfully placed in random patterns. Late in the
Twenties, art tiles in sizes from 2" x 2" to 12"
x 12" were arranged in complex geometric patterns of appreciable rhythm and movement.
Homeowners could order an entire surround from a catalog, building the frebox to
ft, or commission a whole freplace. Today,
you can take your ideas to a maker of smallbatch art tile who will custom-design the tile to

with plenty of experience with art tile. a

SO WORTH THE WAIT!

Once rather a mess, this 1915 San Diego bungalow was restored over
a period of 25 years. Lots of DIY labor produced stunning results.
BY THOMAS & PHYLLIS SHESS | PHOTOGRAPHS BY GARY PAYNE
n january of 1989, three years into our marriage and with a toddler
son, we were looking to buy our rst home when Phyllis came across
an ad for a house in our price range. I have a good feeling about
this one, she said before wed laid eyes on it. The candidate was in
North Park, an older urban neighborhood near downtown and next door
to Balboa ParkSan Diegos version of Central Park. How bad could it be?
Well, we can laugh about it now. Lets just sayfor Tomit wasnt
love at rst sight. Curb appeal was so-so, and the neighborhood was struggling. Phyllis, however, was elated: I knew it in my heart that we could
turn this xer-upper into our dream home. She liked the open oor plan
of 2,000 square feet, the multi-pane windows with wavy glass. A large
family room had been added in the 1960s, as well as a swimming pool.
But all Tom could see was Pepto-Bismol pink everywhere. The seller had decorated the 1915 Craftsman Bungalow with her beloved Victoriana. The family room had ocked wallpaper and a Roaring Twenties motif
complete with a lava-rock replace anked by red plastic sidelights, and a
giant pool table. The deferred maintenance in the kitchen was staggering
and the house needed a new roof.
Of course, we bought it.

With our every nickel gone to the down payment, home

improvements had to wait. The delay afforded us time to research the Arts & Crafts genre. After absorbing period-architecture magazines and attending several Craftsmen Weekends
in Pasadena, we came away Born Again. Though this modest
house was one of dozens built to house professionals for the
191516 PanamaCalifornia Exposition in Balboa Park, we envisioned one day having our own mini Greene & Greene home.
Our journey was worth every dime and every minute we
spent. It started with Tom scraping off at least seven layers of
interior paint. When it was down to bare wood, ghosting revealed where original elements had been. To our joy, we found
pristine pocket doors covered up in a 1919 remuddling; now it
was easy to turn the front parlor into a private guest room.
Our rst hire was a contractor who transformed the saloon motif in the family room to create a comfortable media
center. We closed off the sunken billiards room to create a
master suite. We re-stained the original Douglas r trim and

wainscoting in the front rooms. As is typical, woodwork in the
bedrooms, bath, and family room is painted.
The same summer, an economic downturn found Tom
with hundreds of hours to spare and a heat gun in hand. Off
came the exterior paint. I only fell off my jerry-rigged scaffolding twice, Tom says. Next we hired a landscape designer,
and soon had a south-side brick patio and fountain, an outdoor
kitchen. In our rst oh no! moment, we realized we had to
go around the house from front or back to get to the new side
garden. All along we had focused on maintaining the original
architecture. Now we eyed the plate-glass window overlooking
the new garden. Old wavy glass or not, we decided to replace it
with double French doors matching those in the house. Good
call: The setup looks original, and we use those doors every day.
We put off the kitchen until we could afford to do it right.
Eventually we hired a bungalow-savvy contractor with the patience to put up with Phylliss detailed and determined oversight. The contractor, himself an artist, designed and built the
Mission-style table and storage benches.

in the class, recalls Beth. Ned
notes that Beth is a superb
painter with a talent for decorative design: We have
done a few reproductions, but 95 percent of what we
make comes from Beths fertile brain.
Ned was experimenting with medieval techniques used to create encaustic tile. Realizing the
process was too time consuming to be protable,

he turned to low relief tiles, our launching pad for

making handmade tile. He and Beth founded their
company in 1995. Customers buy tiles as art, but

show English and American Arts & Crafts influence with a touch of Art Nouveau. Neds glazes are
hand applied, which results in slightly thicker or
thinner coats. This signature of the hand is what
gives Carreauxs tile its distinctive appearance.
Ned presses up to 60 tiles per day. The architectural tiles are ideal for artistic installations, from
backsplashes to murals and replaces. The showroom is in the former game room of the couples

the relief points are scraped free of glaze to create
contrast with low areas. Using a sponge that still
holds some glaze, the high points are wiped to give
the raised surfaces a light sheen. Scraping can take
just a few seconds orin the case of a design with

to produce even a small batch of tile, Weaver has

of his tiles is particularly appropriate in Arts & Crafts settings. a

Falling for a
NEW CRAFTSMAN
& NEW WORK
After spending a decade restoring a 1908 house, this couple was pleasantly
surprised to nd theyd fallen for a newer Craftsmanone built in 2008!
BY DONNA PIZZI | PHOTOGRAPHS BY BLACKSTONE EDGE STUDIOS
had this couple looking to move from

Albany, Oregon, to Portland, after theyd spent ten
years restoring an old house that had both Victorian
and Craftsman details. Elva Van Devender, who is a clinical
pharmacist, and her chemical-engineer husband, Tye Dodge,
were about to purchase a house when they ran across a newold house in Portlands Multnomah Village. Coincidentally,
Elva was familiar with the house next door, a model called The
Tabor, which shed seen a year earlier. They found this one,
dubbed The Multnomah, while checking out The Tabor on
Googles street view.
OME LIFE CHANGES
B L AC K S TO N E E D G E . CO M
Inside the 2008 house, the spacious open plan was a

pleasant surprise; the couples transitional house had had
small, compartmentalized rooms. (This house has two full storeys and a third-oor lofta bonus room that can be outtted
as a home ofce, media room, or play area. The 3,278-squarefoot residence has four bedrooms and two and a half baths.)
A period-style colonnade and built-ins, two working replaces,
glass pocket doors that afford privacy in the den, and oors
of Brazilian cherry with walnut inlays were undeniably handsome. The kitchen was large, as was the laundry room. A r
tree grew protectively over the back porch, the tidy yard, and a
a separate garage.
The previous owner had upgraded the lighting, selecting
reproductions from Rejuvenation and art-glass shades. Elva
and Tye say they especially like the built-ins provided by the
builder. Nevertheless, they felt the dining room cried out for
another, so they soon bought a rescued piece at Aurora Mills
Salvage, now used as a sideboard that lls one wall. It had been
torn out of a hundred-year-old bungalow in Corvallis by owners who wanted a more modern look. We just couldnt believe
anyone would discard such beautiful craftsmanship, Elva says.
REMARKABLY, THE FURNISHINGS from their old Albany house t
perfectly hereeven the antique stained-glass windows,
which the couple had purchased to create privacy from the
street. Unique etched-glass windows, ca. 18901910, were repurposed into a wardrobe and TV cabinet by Bill Storch of
Corvallis, who also reworked the salvaged built-in as a freestanding sideboard in the dining room.
At least one thing has seen the couple through all their
moves: an oriental carpet that never met a room it didnt
like, as Elva puts it. When her mother planned to throw away
the 1960s-vintage rug, Elva took it to her grad-school at. It
has since graced oors in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Portland, Maine, before the Albany and Portland (Oregon) houses.
The couple love to attend LoneSomeVille Potterys
twice-yearly sales to pick up some of Northwest artist Danny
Hills renowned Arts & Crafts pottery. We love talking with
Danny and Wayne and spending time in the beautiful LoneSomeVille garden, Elva says. (Hills work is on display at

A strong underlying architecture is important when
the garden goes minimalist for the winter.

OR A BUNGALOW OR COTTAGE,
create an Arts & Crafts garden that holds
off-season appeal. Consider architecture in the snowa pergola or gate,

stone walls, the rhythm of a fence. Use garden ornament or large shrubs
to create focal points. Rely on plants that are stalwarts when it comes to
late fall and winter interest. Perennials may lie beneath the snow and
deciduous trees are but silhouettes,
yet the garden remains.

A great garden never slumbers. In fact, garden designers argue that

winter is when a thoughtfully constructed garden really shines. The secret
lies in selecting elements that stand out when the garden is stripped down to
its bare-naked truth. In many parts of the country, the off-season lasts for ve
or six months. Plan your garden accordingly, and that time can be riveting.
cENCES, dATES & tAiiS
Considering the winter damage done by deer in many regions, a fence is a

wise move from a purely practical standpoint. But a fence performs critical
visual functions as well. A fence contains a space, announcing a garden lies
here even when the evidence is partially buried. Solid stockade fences may
look more like blank barriers and less like artif you must put one up, consider softening it with birdhouses or other embellishments. On the other
hand, wooden zigzag, picket, rustic, lattice, and wrought- and cast-iron fences
KEN DRUSE

INSET & LEFT)
(apropos for Arts & Crafts homes) become eloquent when their lines stand out
against the snow. Even purely utilitarian wire stock fencing gains prominence and
character, suggesting delicate lacework. Fences give winter birds a stable place
to perch. Unpruned, the meandering stems or branches or vines add a weaving
rhythm against the straight lines of a fence (or arbor). Wisteria is a heavy load to
shoulder, but you can select lonicera or clematis. A gate may provide the opportunity to add color, perhaps matching body or trim on the house. When competing
visual elements are erased, our color-starved eyes go straight to a handsome gate.
Its hard to go wrong with a stone wallno matter what type you select, a
wall divides space while providing strong texture in the quiet landscape. When the
thaw nally comes, stone walls return to color even before the world turns green.
GARaEN ARCHITECTrRE
Pergolas, arbors, and freestanding gazebos punctuate the garden. Stark against
the sky or wearing a snow cap, garden structures hunker down and look magical
in the winter. They also give birds shelter. All sorts of styles, from rustic to Spanish
to classical, work in an Arts & Crafts setting. Even a tool shed provides interest and
can be styled to reinforce an Arts & Crafts theme, perhaps through windowboxes.
Cedar or metal tuteurs gain prominence when denuded; multiple tuteurs
marching down an alle are particularly eloquent.
GARaEN ORNAMENT
Cement orbs, ornamental hose guards, birdfeeders, and containers provide focal
points or mark paths. Be aware that most pots will not survive a freezing winter uncracked. Some containers, like the reinforced urns and pots by the Maine
company Lunaform, are designed to be left out; follow recommendations. Pottery
birdbaths may be ruined; stone is a safer bet. Statuary is poignant in the barren
garden, but much of it, too, should not be left out unprotected. Most homeowners
choose to protect statuary by bundling it up in attire to deect moisture and thus
protect against freeze/thaw cycles. a

A COZY CORNER
1910 mailer from Buren &
Hamilton, Salem, Oregon.
Mailed to schoolteachercarpenter
Andrew Fery in the hamlet of
Aumsville, Oregon (pop. then 100),
this postcard illustrates how the
Arts & Crafts movementor retail
versions of itreached even rural
American homes.
FOR SOURCES,
see p. 71.
A CENTURY LATER, a marketing message reveals the human side of the movement through quaint copy and stylish if eclectic clutter. The poetically inclined will fnd in the text insights into the mild protest againstcustom
and instinctive longing that kept The Den or cozy cornera Victorian
concept by then nearly three decades oldstill something of a hobby, but
more than a fad.
Meanwhile, those who prefer history delivered visually may feast
your eyes on the quirky stylistic stew featuring Gothic, Germanic, medieval, and Art Nouveau ingredients. The exotica show just how mixed Arts
& Crafts could be for the public (though such home cooking probably left
a bitter aftertaste for movement purists).
In an era known for marketing dcor to the ladies, this card serves
up plenty that is masculine. For every tea set, embroidered table scarf, and
plush pillow there is a pipe rack, an armorial tableau, or a rustic lantern.
Perhaps it was the decorated footpad, unusual and gender-neutral, that
made the corner cozy for all parties. a B o S u l l i v a n
