Roycroft community continued to operate until 1938 when it declared bankruptcy A period of near total oblmon ensued tjural efforts to restore the Roycroft fogacy began in the 1970s In 1987 the Roycroft campus and its 14 buildings were designated a national historic landmark and efforts to restore the deteriorating buildings began in earnest With the help of an $85 million grant from the Margaret Wendt Foundation of Buffalo the Roycroft Inn was revamped by 1995 Working mainly from photographs architects kept the original outlines and as many original details as possible A number of buildings on the Roycroft campus are open to visitors including the East Aurora Town Hall located in a structure that once housed a sales room and artists studios and the Elbert Hubbard Museum PHILIPSBURG CHANNEL GUIDE ROYCROFT ownnurtl Jam 1C nalkm emits and antiques shop began promoting the Roycroft revival more than 20 years ago we started in the 70s only antiques were available and only a few colkvtors dealers and scholars cared" Kitty Turgeon-Ruxtsaid Today East Aurora about 30 minutes south of Huffaks NY is a crafts center for the work of more than 20 artisans inspired by the Roycroft example The town is also home to 10 craft gal-frrics and antiques shops that specialize in Arts and Crafts items "A lot of us foil oilier careers to do something that we love says Bennett Lillk president of the Roycrofters At large Association whkh was founded in 1976 to preserve the heritage of Roycroft "Roycroft is an attitude and a feeling about wanting our work to provide a sense of satisfaction at the end of every day" atkls Little who is a woodworker and owner of the Schoolhouse Gaflery Elbert Hubbard Roycroft's founder no doubt would be pk-ased at the revival of the community he established Hubbard was something of a sak-s promotion genius who made a fortune in direct sales At age 37 he sold his stake in the large soap company that he helped to build He used part of the proceeds to start the Roycroft Press in 1895 The press soon expanded into a multifaceted manufacturing operation for home furnishings as well as producing magazines and books read by hundreds of thousands of Americans Hubbard hired fine craftsmen and artists to design Roycroft BASIC SERVICE PREMIUM SERVICE TILE (iwtinurJ fwm 1C them" Tile however doesn't mean just reramic tile The look that ia popular now is combining stone tumbfcd map-bk and antique limestones or slates with handmade bas relief tiles fur kitchens baths pools and powder rooms" says Zachary (Tumbled marble has been acid-washed so that it looks antique it has a pitted texture and ia muted in cokirj can be really pretty is to do a master bath or kitchen using all- one color like white on while or solid blue and use bas relief tiles to give it dimension Combine that with a tumbled marble or a French limestone on the floor and you get a look that is classic but warm It gives it that old European look" Phil and PSrt Seibold were looking "for something with a traditional approach" when they got to the bathroom stage of their home renovation in the Philadelphia area "We are redoing a Scarborough house that was built in the late 60s" says Phfl Seibold added a dormer where the new master bath is and the old master bath is my daughter Tricia's bathroom We were trying to keep it on the light side because neither bathroom is too large" Since they had worked successfully with Charles Tiles when they redid their kitchen several years ago they turned to the four-store chain for help "We picked out the tumbled marble and Charles Tiles went from there" What they ended up with was a variety of tumbled marble on walls and floors that was combined with handmade ceramic American tiles for a rich texture It not only complemented their butternut cabinetry and gave them the classic look they sought but it put them in step with one of the hottest design trends around As Country Floors manager Richard Rumick succinctly puts it "Stones are it Everything is natural down to the trim" Ilerbers points out that the integration of tile and stone otters the possibility of contrasting a gkrssy tile wall with a rough stone floor for instance "or a counter-top that mixes tile and atone joyfully Rumick recalls a customer who has had the same design put into each successive house he has bwned And "Pastorale" a French ceramic design that features birds 'and flowers and that graces an entire wall at Country Floors' showroom Is a perennial favorite: Rumick recently sold it as a mural and tub surround with a tumbled stone floor "We're also selling a lut of hand-pressed hand-painted tile in very rich he says the kind Country Floors provided for a bathroom in Judie and Bennett Weinstock's Victorian house at the Jersey Shore The house (built from scratch by the Weinstocks who are Philadelphia-based interior decorators) uses tile lavishly The kitchen is a celebration of color with walls and counters tiled in quilt patterns Customers need a budget Tile especially handmade or custom tile can be affordable or astonishingly expensive depending on the materials and how much work goes into making it "There is a wide range in says Zachary estimating that the least-expensive bathroom might be around $1000 (for floor and tub-enclosure but no wainscoting) and the most expensive she has ever done cost about $65000 "But the average is from $4000 to $10000 we do a lot of bathrooms in the 000 Similarly a kitchen backsplash could be as little as $300 or as much as $10J)00 (And remember that this is just the cost of the tile shipping and installation are extra) HerberW suggests that tile-lovers on a limited budget can get striking results by using lower-priced tiles from manufacturers such as American Olean and a little imagination She cites designer Skip Sroka whose work with standard American Olean tOe rates fiillpage illustration in her book Option mwic not onMiit without on
