BY ANNIE NYE, INTERIOR DESIGNER, SELKIRK GLASS & CABINETS, A DIVISION OF PONDERAY DESIGN CENTER WHO’S WITH ME WHEN I say I am tired of seeing the yellowed oak look from the 90s?

I get asked a lot about how to update that look.

And typically, if there’s one area of oak in a house, there’s more… trim, doors, cabinetry, flooring, bookshelves, and of course furniture. Oak was used quite often because not only is it a plentiful wood species, it is a solid hardwood, and not as expensive as some other species.

Because oak is such a durable wood, even if it’s 20plus years old, it’s probably still in great shape, so you may not need to purge everything. Oak holds up well, so it is a wood species that lasts. What doesn’t last is the polyurethane finish that yellows over time, making it look dated. This yellow tone does not follow current color trends, so when asked about how to get rid of it, I can offer a few suggestions. Instead of replacing everything, you can choose which areas are a priority, commit to what you want to change about it, and develop a plan on how to make it happen.

There’s not really a product out there that allows you to cover up that aged yellow tone without also hiding the wood grain. Therefore, you can either paint it or refinish it. If you choose to refinish, it means sanding the old polyurethane off completely, which will still allow the wood grain to show off that solid wood product when you’re done.

So, how do you update one area without updating all?

If it’s the flooring that you want to change, it may just be in need of refinishing. If you have a narrow plank floor and it’s more than 10 to 15 years old, chances are it is solid wood, not like the engineered pre-finished options now available. This type of flooring can be sanded down and refinished. You’ll need to hire a wood floor company to sand off the old polyurethane, and once they’re down to the

raw wood, they can apply a new stain color and re-apply top coat finish. This allows you to get rid of the yellowed look without having to replace the flooring.

Cabinets are also a tough thing to update if you don’t have the money to replace them. The doors can be removed, sanded down and stained, but you will also need to do the faceframes, toekick, and finished end panels, which will need to be done in place. Refinishing your cabinets is a process – it takes quite a bit of time and if done correctly can look nice. However, I have been to customers’ houses that have chosen to refinish floors and then applied their budgeted money towards new cabinets and haven’t been sorry.

Trim is another common area where we find lots of oak. Where most people get hung up on painting trim is knowing where to stop. If you start by painting the baseboards, that usually runs into the door trim, which is part of the door jambs, and then you’ll need to paint the window trim to match. Just know when you start this process, it is a commitment and most of the time means your whole house, not just one or two rooms. If you choose to refinish trim, it’s hard work to sand the old finish off if there’s any kind of decorative profile. The easy part is re-applying stain or clear coat finishing it. Unless you plan on doing this yourself, it may be cheaper to purchase new trim to stain and finish with top coat. The other option is to paint over it.

Quite a few people mix and match wood tones with paint. It’s perfectly acceptable to paint the doors and leave the trim wood tone or paint the trim and leave the doors wood tone. There are a lot of remodeled homes that have both paint and stain. And actually, there are quite a few new homes as well being built with both paint and stain trim/door/cabinet combinations.

Using both paint and wood tones provides flexibility for future changes. Finding that good balance of color can be accomplished without sacrificing what you have and being smart about the commitment you’re undertaking.

FIESTA BONITA NOW OFFERING TWO LOCATIONS TO ENJOY DELICIOUS, AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE

BY JILLIAN CHANDLER PHOTOS BY LISA TURNER

JANUARY 1, 2018, marked Fiesta Bonita’s fifth anniversary of dishing up great Mexican cuisine and exemplary service to the Ponderay community. And when the opportunity arose for a second location in Sandpoint, owner Rosalio Ibarra and his business partners jumped on it, and this past December, they opened Fiesta Bonita at 202 North Second Avenue in Downtown Sandpoint.

In addition to a menu filled with authentic Mexican comida—think mole, homemade tamales and chile rellenos—and beer and wine offerings, the new location offers more space to host large groups for any special occasion.

When dining at either location, Rosalio and his team strive to create an atmosphere where everyone feels at home. “We try to make our customers feel happy, comfortable, and try to give them the best,” he says.

“People who work for me, everyone from the dishwasher to the server, do their best in order to offer the best to our customers.”

When it comes to the success of Fiesta Bonita, Rosalio believes that having a staff that truly loves what they do enables them to be successful. “We really like what we do, and we try to make everyone else like what they do, and we have been doing pretty well to ensure that happens.”

Rosalio finds his job fulfilling for several reasons. “We have really reliable customers because I love to take care of my customers. I love what I do, and everyone who works for me feels the same way. We make it fun instead of work. For me, I always like to make it feel like I’m doing something I really like and try not to make it a chore. Each day I come to work, I’m going to go have fun.”

Now and Then Rosalio and his family moved to the area five years ago from Oregon after purchasing Fiesta Bonita from the previous owner. Rosalio knew it was a great restaurant location surrounded by a wonderful community. And, when it comes to supporting the community that has supported him over the years, Rosalio gives whenever he can. “When I give, it comes from my heart. The guy up there is helping me, and I do what I can to try and help others.”

A Resale and Gift Boutique Womens, Kids, Accessories, Furniture & More... ...we have what you’re looking for!

He is grateful for the support he has received since becoming a part of the community, both personally and professionally. “Everyone that brought us to where we are right now are family, staff, employees and, most importantly, my customers. Without my help, without my family, without my business partners, I could not do any of this,” he says. “I want to thank all of my customers and hope they had a merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Thank you for your support. And thank you to my staff and family. Without you, none of this could happen.”

Rosalio and his staff invite you to dine with them, and they are ready to serve you the best! Both locations are open seven days a week 11am to 9pm.

NOAH HASTINGS: AS A CAPTAIN OF THE Sandpoint High School varsity soccer team, senior Noah Hastings said he has learned a great deal under Coach Evan McNeley—lessons that he can apply in all aspects of life.

“In one full year of having a very influential coach, I learned many things, but one thing I really took away from Coach McNeley is that if you set yourself to a higher standard, you can accomplish anything and become a great person, friend, teammate and even greater soccer player,” said Noah, who adds that he is honored to have led such a great group of players this year.

Noah shares that he has always pushed himself to maintain a high GPA and looks forward to challenging himself at the next level.

“My plan after high school is to hopefully find a school where I can play soccer, but if I can’t find that, the school will have to have mountains and rivers so I can be outdoors,” he said, adding that he is considering careers as an environmental attorney or a sustainability specialist.

One of the most difficult experiences for Noah during high school was when one of his friends and teammates committed suicide right before junior year.

“He was a kind friend, dedicated teammate and an intellectual student, known to most. In my world, I spoke with him on a daily basis on the soccer field and at school,” said Noah. “We fought a little harder for our fallen friend for two seasons, and I think playing with him in our hearts and minds is what really helped us achieve so much last season and even more this season.”

When asked about her academic and athletic accomplishments, there are many.

“I’ve set the school record for the 800 meter at a 2:18.1, and I’ve been on school record-setting relay teams in the 4x800 relay and distance medley relay,” said Hannah, who is also ranked in the top 10 percent of her class and is a National Merit commended student.

Hannah plans to attend school at either Utah State University or Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she plans to pursue a degree in biochemistry or environmental science.

Her coach, Angie Brass, has high praises for Hannah.

“She is an incredible young woman, hard working and a great teammate with year-round dedication and commitment,” said Brass. “She holds the No. 5 all-time fastest time in the 5k for cross country and medaled at State track in the 800 meters the last three years as well as holds the school record in that event. She is a stellar student-athlete as well!”

Running has taught Hannah the importance of being committed and dedicated, and for that she thanks her coaches. “With running, you have to be committed all year round to putting in the work and the miles in order to see success and to get better. It has helped me to see that you get out of something what you put into it,” she said. “My coaches are amazing examples of this dedication.​​​​”
