Jackman and his wife, Naomi, knew they’d look to the Arts & Crafts vocabu-
lary 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.

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
I
n january of 1989, three years into our marriage and with a toddler
son, we were looking to buy our first 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 we’d laid eyes on it. The candidate was in
North Park, an older urban neighborhood near downtown and next door
to Balboa Park—San Diego’s version of Central Park. How bad could it be?
Well, we can laugh about it now. Let’s just say—for Tom—it wasn’t
love at first sight. Curb appeal was so-so, and the neighborhood was strug-
gling. Phyllis, however, was elated: “I knew it in my heart that we could
turn this fixer-upper into our dream home.” She liked the open floor 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 sell-
er had decorated the 1915 Craftsman Bungalow with her beloved Victori-
ana. The family room had flocked wallpaper and a Roaring Twenties motif
complete with a lava-rock fireplace flanked 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 re-
search the Arts & Crafts genre. After absorbing period-archi-
tecture 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
1915–16 Panama–California Exposition in Balboa Park, we en-
visioned 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 re-
vealed 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.

master suite. We re-stained the original Douglas fir 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 scaf-
folding twice,” Tom says. Next we hired a landscape designer,
and soon had a south-side brick patio and fountain, an outdoor
kitchen. In our first “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 pa-
tience to put up with Phyllis’s detailed and determined over-
sight. The contractor, himself an artist, designed and built the
Mission-style table and storage benches.
Our crystal ball hadn’t revealed that North Park would
become what Forbes magazine and the New York Times called
“one of America’s hippest neighborhoods.” We’d no idea we’d
made such a good investment. To us, this was simply the forev-
er home. Recently retired, we just celebrated our 30th wedding
anniversary in our favorite place. This little bungalow. a

After spending a decade restoring a 1908 house, this couple was pleasantly

OME LIFE CHANGES Inside the 2008 house, the spacious open plan was a
Albany, Oregon, to Portland, after they’d spent ten pleasant surprise; the couple’s transitional house had had
years restoring an old house that had both Victorian small, compartmentalized rooms. (This house has two full sto-

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 fills one wall. It had been
torn out of a hundred-year-old bungalow in Corvallis by own-
ers who wanted a more modern look. “We just couldn’t believe
anyone would discard such beautiful craftsmanship,” Elva says.
REMARKABLY, THE FURNISHINGS from their old Albany house fit
perfectly here—even the antique stained-glass windows,

which the couple had purchased to create privacy from the
street. Unique etched-glass windows, ca. 1890–1910, were re-
purposed into a wardrobe and TV cabinet by Bill Storch of
Corvallis, who also reworked the salvaged built-in as a free-
standing 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 didn’t
like,” as Elva puts it. When her mother planned to throw away
the 1960s-vintage rug, Elva took it to her grad-school flat. It
has since graced floors in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Port-
land, Maine, before the Albany and Portland (Oregon) houses.
The couple love to attend LoneSomeVille Pottery’s
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 Lone-
SomeVille garden,” Elva says. (Hills’ work is on display at

A strong underlying architecture is important when
the garden goes minimalist for the winter.
BY TOVAH MARTIN
64 | ARTS & CRAFTS HOMES Winter 2016 KEN DRUSE

At dreenwood dardens in kew gersey, the
pergola is vivid in winter. ABOVE cruits of the
rowan or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia).
F OR A BUNGALOW OR COTTAGE, create an Arts & Crafts garden that holds

off-season appeal. Consider architecture in the snow—a 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 five
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 art—if you must put one up, con-
sider softening it with birdhouses or other embellishments. On the other
hand, wooden zigzag, picket, rustic, lattice, and wrought- and cast-iron fences

(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 opportu-
nity 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.
It’s hard to go wrong with a stone wall—no matter what type you select, a
wall divides space while providing strong texture in the quiet landscape. When the
thaw finally 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 allée 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 win-
ter 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 deflect moisture and thus
protect against freeze/thaw cycles. a

a start, and now it’s a focal point in her new apartment— a reminder of how she should greet every day.”
