How You Can Refresh Your Home’s Appeal With Furniture Paint

Furniture, bookcases, cabinets, and doors present opportunities to add or change color throughout a home. Woodcraft offers an extensive line of furniture paint, tools and supplies necessary for successful painting projects. In addition, Woodcraft retail store associates are always ready to help customers.

Lori Harper, Woodcraft public relations manager and blogger, offers some advice about updating a kitchen: “Painting kitchen cabinets is a big job, but it can transform the look of your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of new cabinets. It may sound daunting, but breaking it down into bitesize steps can take away the fear factor.”

Paint & Color Selection

Three easy-to-use and easy-to-mix paints are:

• Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint is a waterbased, low-VOC, matte

finish paint for indoor use that requires only cleanup before painting, except in the case of chips and scratches, and adheres to wood, metal, glass, ceramics and plastic.

• General Finishes Milk Paints are premixed waterbased acrylic paints suitable for a variety of interior or exterior applications from furniture to crafts.

• General Finishes Gel Stains are heavy-bodied gels formulated to flow evenly for consistent color control.

Before you pick up a paintbrush, consider which colors are best for the area you plan to refresh. Choices will need to complement wall color and colors of other pieces or accents in a room. Two handy color guides are the 36-page General Finishes Milk Paint

Fan Deck and the Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint Color Recipes.

For more than just a change of color, consider creating

decorative effects, such as distressing, antiquing, faux marble, or rag rolling. Choose General Finishes Pearl Effects to make it easier to create specialty finishes.

Repair

If furniture, cabinets

and other surfaces need repair prior to painting, the Mohawk PermaFill Wood Touch-Up and Repair System is an easy answer. Just pop in a color cartridge (six color families available), power on the batteryoperated dispenser, aim, fill and level this durable repair.

Briwax ChaiRX is perfect to fix loose parts in chairs. Drill a small hole, inject ChaiRX, and in 12 hours the thin unique formulation will penetrate the wood cells and permanently swell the joints and bond them together.

For more extensive repairs, use the Kreg Jig R3 Kit to reinforce weak parts with pocket holes and avoid complete disassembly of your project.

Clean and Prep

Use Krud Kutter TSP

Substitute to remove dirt, grease, smoke, mildew, food stains, crayon, wax, and more from surfaces to be painted so paint will adhere better. For sanding chores associated with painting, consider the Porter-Cable Restorer Handheld Drum Sander with attachments, which is designed to remove paint and finish from wood, brick and fiberglass, as well as remove rust and polish metal. The Porter-Cable 382 5” Random Orbital Sander and the Norton 5” Random Orbital Sander are other good choices. For sanding with hand power, the

Preppin’ Weapon Sanding Block Kit and Norton 41⁄2” x 51⁄2” SoftTouch Sanding Sponges are handy helpers.

Application & Topcoat

If spraying is your preference, HOMERIGHT

Finish Max Fine Finish and HOMERIGHT Super Finish Max HVLP Sprayers are easy to use on everything from furniture to fences with oil- and water-based products such as chalkstyle paint, latex paint, milk paint, enamels, primers, polyurethanes, stains, and varnishes. Large and Small Spray Shelters make painting furniture easier.

For painting by hand, Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint Round Brushes, made from both natural and synthetic bristles, and Redtree Matey Synthetic Bristle Brushes work well.

Give paint extra protection with Black Dog Salvage Guard Dog and Show Dog Topcoats and General Finishes Gel and High Performance Polyurethane Topcoats.

Resale Resource Great

Questions And Answers

Q. Why is resale gaining such popularity?

There are numerous reasons for the increased popularity of resale. One is the increased awareness by the public of recycling. People would rather consign, sell or donate their unwanted or unneeded items than just add to the waste stream. Consignors, donors and sellers make money by selling under loved items at our shops, without the expense, work, and bother of a tag or garage sale. By having a resale expert price and market their goods, sellers realize more income than if they attempted to do this themselves.

Eco-aware consumers would also rather purchase recycled articles in order to minimize their impact on our limited resources. Of course, one of the foremost reasons for increased popularity of resale is very simple…People love a bargain! Today’s consumer is more economical and would rather buy clothing, accessories and furniture for a third to fourth of the original price, leaving money for other things in life such as vacations, education, investments and hobbies. The public is also keenly aware that resale shopping means more quality for less money. Since resale has evolved from the image of dark, musty junk stores, consumers today find clean, attractive and well displayed stores that offer value and selection without the newprice markup.

Q. What’s the difference between thrift, resale, and consignment shops?

While all shops which sell gently-used consumer goods are “resale” shops, the distinctions is as follows:

A resale shop is the phrase most often used for stores that buy their merchandise outright from individual

owners. A consignment or thrift shop can also be called a resale shop, but only a store that actually consigns their inventory can be called a consignment store, and only a store run by a Not For Profit organization is considered a thrift.

A thrift shop is run by a Not For Profit organization to raise money to fund their charitable causes. These range from the large Salvation Army/Goodwill chains to individual school, church or hospital thrift shops. Not For Profits can obtain goods through donations or they could operate on a consignment basis - some do both.

A consignment shop accepts merchandise on a consignment basis, paying the owners of the merchandise a percentage when and if the items are sold. The majority of such shops pay the owners from 40% to 60% of the selling price, and have a policy of displaying goods for anywhere from 30 to 90 days, although there is a wide range of policies across the country. Some consignment shops also purchase a variety of items outright from individual owners and/or wholesalers

Q. What should a consumer look for when shopping resale?

Look for quality of workmanship and materials.

A quality item might cost more at resale than an inferior item does new, but the workmanship, style, and value of any well-made item, from a sofa to a designer outfit, provides more value at resale.

Know the retail prices of items you are shopping for to appreciate how much money you will save by shopping resale.

Explore a variety of resale shops to find several that will become your favorites. Each shop is unique, and so is their merchandise.

Get to know the staff, sign their mailing list to receive sale notices, customer only

premiums, and valuable information sent out in their flyers or newsletters.

Check all items carefully and know the store’s return policies before purchasing.

Q. Why should I take my items to a consignment or resale shop instead of selling them on eBay, having a garage sale or taking them to a home swap party (where friends trade their treasures or clothes)?

Resale and consignment shops have an established clientele looking for the kind of items they accept on consignment or purchase outright for sale.

You don’t have to pack and ship each item you sell. One quick trip to your favorite resale/consignment shop is a real timesaver. Selling furniture and other

large items on eBay can be problematic due to the shipping. Selling them directly means you have to let strangers into your home and worry about scheduling appointments. Working with your local consignment or resale shop is safer and more convenient.

No need to deal with returns or bounced checks.

Once your items sell at a resale/consignment shop you are paid.

Listing items on eBay or organizing a garage sale requires a great deal of time and effort. Resale/consignment shops do the work for

you—they display your items attractively, advertise for customers and handle the entire sale process.

The percentage of clothing listed on eBay that actually sells is low. It is much easier to sell clothing at a resale/ consignment shop where people can “touch and feel” and try things on to make sure they fit and look well.

You can make more money in the long run by consigning than with a garage sale, swap party or eBay. Consignment/resale stores will get the full value because store owners know the real value.

Gmee Schpiele

Die Kinner sin am Gmee schpiele: Die Sussie hot en Bopp; Der Johnny is der Breddicher; Sei Schtimm macht er arig grobb.

Der Sammy is der Vorsinger; Er weest yuscht ee Song.

Der Becky ihr Bopp is griddlich; Sie bleibt draus ordlich lang.

Die Kinner waare noch am Schpiele, Not kummt die Mam zu sie

Un saagt, “Sis Schaffzeit nau, So hollet rei die Kieh!”

“Oh, Mam,” saage die Kinner, “Mir sin so schee am Schpiel,’ Ferwas schpiele mir all net lenger Un schaffe net so viel?”

“Oh, Kinner,” saagt die Mudder, “Dir waaret Mann un Fraa. Sie dien net yuscht zu die Gmee gehn. Sie schaffe viel aa.”

“Oh, Mom,” say the children, “We are playing so nice, Why don’t we all play longer And not work so much?”

Who Is The Bischli-Gnippli?

When I was younger, I didn’t know, Who the Bischli-Gnippli was.

To me the name sounded

Like a gnarled old tree.

Because Bischli sounds like a small tree

And Gnippli sounds like old and gnarled.

Now I learned

That the Buschgnippel is a man

That lives in the bush

And the Bischli-Gnippli

Is a little bushman!

Now if this is not right, Let me know,

So I didn’t learn it wrong.

I also learned

That this Bischli-Gnippli

Is Richard Beam! ***

On May 31, we had the rare pleasure of hearing from one of our 12 year old readers! The writer-poetess is none other than Anita W. Shirk of 2033 West Main Street in Ephrata. These are her very first Dutch poems. Anita is currently in the eighth grade at Woodcorner School. She is the daughter of Joseph and Martha Shirk. Anita enjoys reading, writing, drawing and sewing. She also collects stamps. And she follows our Eck in The Shopping News as well as in Die Botschaft.

Anita, we hope these are but the first Dutch poems we’ll have the pleasure of publishing from your pen. We’re hoping too your example will encourage others of your age to write to us in Dutch. Who else in the Woodcorner School speaks and writes Dutch?

“Don’t take it lightly”

Author: Wenger Scripture: Romans 2:4“Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and restraint and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?”

This verse is a question with an implied answer of yes; we do think lightly of God’s kindness, restraint and patience. Other translations

render “Think Lightly” as “show contempt,” “presume on,” “disregard,” “despise,” and “have no regard.”

The Greek word means to despise, scorn, and show it by active insult. The original word is from two words, Kata (against) and Phroneo (to think); to think against. We need to deeply consider how good, forgiving and unwilling God is to execute judgment on mankind. He dearly loves everyone and is “Not willing that any should perish.” (2 Peter 3:9). God said in Ezekiel 33:11, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked but rather that they turn from their ways and live.”

We can see the goodness, kindness and longsuffering

of God in His unwillingness to bring judgment on Israel. Time and time again He sent prophets to warn of coming judgment if they did not repent of their deeds and change their direction, turn from idolatry and return to Him. He sent the prophets, but they would not listen. Five times in Amos chapter four God said, “But you would not return to me” after he caused droughts and other judgments to bring them back. Christ’s words echo the same response in his call to the nation of Israel, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks

under her wings. And you were unwilling.” (Matthew 23:37).

God’s goodness, kindness, patience and restraint leads us to the place of repentance as our verse declares. Exactly what is repentance? Metanoia is the Greek word most commonly translated repentance. This word literally means “Change of mind.” It is a turn-a-bout, 180 degrees, a completely different direction. Biblical repentance involves the whole person; the intellectual, the emotional and the willful.

The changing of the mind (what we think) is the first step of repentance. It can be best illustrated by Lee Strobel’s journey

to faith. Lee Strobel was an investigative journalist for the Chicago Tribune. Lee tried to disprove the newfound Christian faith of his wife Leslie. He decided to start at the resurrection. He felt that if he could disprove the resurrection of Christ, a person would have no reason to believe anything else in scripture. Lee soon realized that the resurrection of Christ is irrefutable and embraced Christ as Savior. He thought one way at the beginning of his pursuit, and now has a complete change of mind. Repentance also involves the emotion. We are sorry for our sinful behavior, not just the consequences of it. Luke 18:13 best describes the emotional side

of repentance. “But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, “God be merciful to me the sinner!” Finally, a change in the will produces a change in conduct and purpose in our life, which is evidence of true conversion Josh McDowell, like Lee Strobel attempted to refute the resurrection of Christ. He was “sick and tired of those Christians on campus.” Upon a serious and arduous investigation, he too realized that Christianity’s resurrection of Christ is supported by solid evidence. His research gave Christianity some of

the best evidence for the resurrection ever published. His studies produced “Evidence that demands a verdict.” This book is one of the most exhaustive and comprehensive works ever written that verifies the resurrection. Both Lee and Josh had a 180-degree change in direction because they honestly looked at the evidence.

So, our study verse says that the kindness, restraint, patience and goodness of God leads us to a change of intellect (the mind), emotion (how we feel about sin) and will (our new desire to obey). Let’s consider some instances of these attributes of God’s character and how they relate to the unbeliever for salvation, the believer for sanctification and the direction our nation. We will consider these next time.

The ECA supports the Cloister Chorus, founded in 1959, which offers historically informed performances of some of the 1,000 hymns composed by the Brothers and Sisters of early Ephrata.

Moments in

TIME

THE HISTORY CHANNEL

* On February 27, 1693, England’s first women’s magazine, The Ladies Mercury, debuted. With a print run of just four weeks, each single­sheet, doublesided issue consisted of an advice column addressing “all the most nice and curious questions concerning love, marriage, behavior, dress and humor of the female sex, whether virgins, wives or widows.”

* On March 5, 1774, John Hancock delivered the fourth annual Massacre Day speech, commemorating the Boston Massacre in which British soldiers killed five men in a crowd on King Street. Hancock’s oration and denunciation of the presence of British troops in Boston increased his standing as a leading

patriot.

* On March 1, 1869, U.S. postage stamps featuring scenes were issued for the first time. The pictorials included a post horse and rider, a locomotive, a shield, an eagle and a ship, and the Adriatic Sea. Prior to that time, the stamps had only depicted portraits of dead statesmen.

* On March 4, 1960, actress­comedienne Lucille Ball filed for divorce from Cuban­American singer and bandleader Desi Arnaz, citing his drinking and infidelity, after 14 years of marriage. The couple most memorably earned a place in American hearts as Ricky and Lucy Ricardo on their 1950s TV sitcom “I Love Lucy.”

PUBLIC AUCTION

* On March 2, 1962, Philadelphia Warriors center Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points, the most ever by an NBA player in a single game, in a match with the New York Knicks in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with a final winning score for the Warriors of 169147. Six decades later, Chamberlain’s record still remains unbroken.

* On March 3, 1991, motorist Rodney King’s severe beating at the hands of Los Angeles police officers was captured on an amateur video taken by bystander George Holliday

from a nearby balcony, which later led to riots when the officers were acquitted. King had been stopped and arrested for driving while intoxicated on the interstate.

* On February 28, 2013, scientists electrically connected the brains of two rats with electrodes reaching into the motor cortex, the region of the brain that processes movement. The animals were then able to share and act on each other’s sensory information and were trained to press a lever when a light went on above it.

Zook

Ephrata High School

Grant Zook

Senior Ephrata senior Grant Zook is no stranger when it comes to hard work.

Zook admires his father, Steve Zook, for the work ethic and wisdom that has been passed down to him. This work ethic is evident through his accomplishments both in school and out: Zook takes part in numerous extracurriculars including volleyball, Investment Club, and German NHS.

Additionally, he attends and volunteers as tech support on the soundboard at Lancaster Evangelical Free Church in Lititz.

In school, his favorite class is economics, citing the practical knowledge he gains from his studies in this class. His favorite part of school is getting to see his friends, but you can also find Zook lending a listening ear to his teachers.

Listening to others is a practice which Zook wishes more people would adopt, and he mentions this as something he would like to change about the world: “I would like people to be more understanding of other people’s opinions - more listening to other people instead of being sure that you’re right all the time.”

To date, Zook believes his most outstanding achievement is climbing five different 4,000 ft. mountains during the winter season.

In his free time, Zook enjoys playing games, spike ball, basketball, building computers, and collecting Lego.

Zook plans on continuing his education at Messiah University.

Written by: Eleonora Scutaru

Always on the move, Zook won’t be stopped until his dreams are made a reality.

Blaise Culp

8th Grade

Blaise Culp is the March student of the month at Lititz Area Mennonite School. One of the things that Blaise really likes about LAMS is the overall environment and the people. In academics, Blaise says that geography is definitely his favorite subject for many reasons, but especially because he thinks maps are cool and he finds them intriguing. Following that thought, a goal that Blaise would like to achieve in life is to visit at least six out of the seven continents. Blaise also competes in many sports at LAMS including soccer, volleyball, basketball, and track. Some of his other hobbies and interests are juggling, ping-pong, playing the piano, and video games. The church he currently attends is LCBC, and his favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:13 which says: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Blaise’s plan after graduating 8th grade at LAMS is to attend Warwick High School. Following graduation he wants to pursue a career in either sports or some kind of video editing. Blaise would say that his role models in life are his parents because they took care of him growing up and he looks up to them. Blaise says that accepting Jesus in his heart when he was younger was, and is, definitely his best decision in life. If Blaise could change one thing about the world, it would be to have people communicate well even when they disagree and not resort to violence to make their point. He thinks something needs to be improved on in that regard, and he would like to do something about it.
