A Note from Julie about Cabinet Refinishing

With a lint-free cloth, wipe down with Lacquer thinner. Sand lightly with 220 grit. Make sure you go with the grain. Wipe off dust. Paint desired color with water-based paint. Beat up wood, if desired. Re-sand edges and corners to add distress. Use water-based wood stain or brown glaze to bring out markings and sanded edges. It doesn’t have to be brown. If you want a subtle color, use a colored stain or glaze. Be sure to seal with several coats of Deft Clear Wood Finish (Satin). Call for help any time!

The Changing of the Guards

There is really no way to thank an outgoing presidency. There is so much that goes in to a calling like this. Thanks so much for your prayers and friendship, you truly have loved and served your neighbor.
And a big welcome to Gail, Marilyn, Melinda and Joy!

Finishing Touches

I think there just may be a few brave souls who attack their kitchen cabinets. By attack I mean that they may use a meat tenderizer, a hammer or possibly give their cabinets a thrashing with an old chain. This month we learned the techniques for painting cabinets including distressing them.
Thanks Julie and Diana for showing us the ropes and giving us great ideas for crown molding, decorative trim and possibly even sheet metal. It was a lot of fun to listen to your great ideas and as you gave us the pointers it was as if we had stepped in to a private conversation with you two! You can tell you are good friends.
I will be posting the tips that Julie and Diana gave us along with the name of the place that can strip down your cabinet doors for you!
Oh, and by the way Joan, I hope you know how much I appreciate all the work you are doing for us in regards to the humanitarian projects. You are a wonderful treasure!
Our morning activity found us sharing friendship, stories and cucumbers! Don't miss out next month!!!
