"New" Owner & Manager at Rogues' June 2019


Well, it's been about 3 1/2 years since I last posted. A lot has happened. As most of you know, I sold the Rogues' Harbor Inn in December 2015 to pursue my life long dream of designing and fabricating fine jewelry. It was a bittersweet goodbye. I really loved Rogues', but I had to pursue my dream and the rigorous schedule of operating the inn, restaurant & brewery were just not allowing me to do that.
I have had the privilege for the past three years of working with Fareed Abdulky, master jeweler of 55 years, at Carla Bijouterie in Ithaca. It has been wonderful.
Now, Rogues' has lured me back. I have always loved it, and I think it loves me.
My plan is to remain at Carla Bijouterie and operate the inn. I would like to lease out the restaurant space and there a few truly excellent operators considering it (stay tuned). Of course, Salt Point Brewing is doing a fabulous job with their place next door and they will be there until their new facility around the corner is ready.
I feel at home. I cant wait to share with all of you all of the wonderful things to come.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram (if I can ever reset the password...) for up to the minute news.
See you soon,
I missed you,
Eileen Stout

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful...

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
