When Damon and Jodie bought theirhouse, they focused all of their energies onrenovating the kitchen so they could start acatering business. They spent many hoursuncovering thero o m ’s beautiful brickand building a restau-rant-inspired islandwith a lot of cookingspace. But now thatthey have a greatkitchen, all they do iswork.

The couple werelonging for a refuge towhich they could re-treat at the end ofeach day, when the stoves were turned offand the pots and pans put away. They werehoping their third-floor bedroom couldfunction as such a space, but the cold attic– with its dark corners and crumbling brick– was anything but relaxing.

With a limited budget, two pet dogs andno storage to speak of (Damon’s shoe col-lection took up a good part of the floor

space), I had to be creative. So I called inmy crew and got set to create the perfectrecipe for a rustic yet chic oasis where Da-mon and Jodie could be far away (in spirit)from the demands of the kitchen.

I started by painting the exposed brick acrisp white, which went a long way towardturning the dusty attic into a fresh newspace. I painted the other walls in a beauti-ful putty shade and then installed a fewfaux beams that add architectural interestand incorporate some much-needed light-ing. I then got to work on organizing theattic. The room had a lot of awkward an-gles, and the existing furniture did notmaximize the usable space. So I moved thecouple’s dark-wood bed away from thewindows and into the center of the room,between the two new beams and against afresh white wall.

Next, I got to work on the storage prob-lem. I repurposed the existing cabinetry byadding new doors and hardware for a cleanlook that works perfectly with some store-bought cabinets that I customized withgrass cloth, glass tops and new handles. I

even added an out-of-the-box shoe solutionfor Damon – a cabinet that ties in with therest of the pieces, but is just for footwear.

I also created a little fireside lounge forDamon and Jodie by using the room’s exist-ing chimney as a backdrop for a new stain-less-steel, ethanol-burning fireplace.Around the fireplace, I put a moss loveseatand beige chair in dog-friendly fabrics; arustic, wood coffee table; and a heap ofbrown, pear and white pillows.

On the room’s one window, I put uppear-linen drapes with woven grass blindsfor light control. I then added a host of ac-cents and accessories, including severaldark-brown wall decals, a great area rugand some funky artwork.

This once dull and unsavory space was arecipe for disaster. So I lightened, bright-ened and added warm, cozy comfort tomake it a rustic, chic retreat for two chefswho need time to escape the heat of thekitchen. Now that’s divine.

October puts freezeon pumpkins

Carol O’Meara

Colorado StateUniversity Extension

Be careful what you wish for. When I saidI wanted frost so the garden would slow forthe season, I wasn’t expecting Mother Na-ture to take me so literally. The deep freezethat stopped the garden cold also spelleddisaster for my pumpkins, slowly ripeningon the doorstep. Caught in the stage be-tween green and fully ripe, those wanna-beJack O’ Lanterns have thawed and turned tomush before my eyes.

This puts a crimp in my plans for carvinga welcoming ghoul, but there’s time to shopfor another Jack. Looking for a locallygrown pumpkin that wasn’t destroyed by thecreeping cold isn’t as hard as you think –area growers are as wily as the weather, andprotected their crop before the flakes flew.

“We got a lot of them in ahead of it, sot h e re ’s a hundred thousand pounds ofpumpkins and squash in the barns,” saysBob Munson of Munson Farms in Boulder.“It got cold, no joke, but we’ve been throughit before. It used to be really common backin the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, but a hard freezethis early hasn’t happened in the last 10years.”

Picking ahead of the weather, Munsonand crew harvested a quarter-of-a-millionpounds of produce, including sweet corn,tomatoes, squash and the 30 varieties of col-orful pumpkins at his farm stand at the cor-ner of Valmont and 75th Street in Boulder isknown for. He’ll keep them under cover, re-stocking the farm stand until supplies of the

perishable goods sell out.Pumpkins that were ripe will probably

survive the frigid blast, says Pam Osborn,co-owner of Osborn Farm in Loveland. “Butit’s an iffy thing. The hard orange bakingpumpkins came through well, we’ve got lotsof those.” Pumpkins that weren’t ripe areprobably goners unless they were covered bythe gardener or by nearby plants.

“But you can’t cover everything, and thiscame so early in the month,” she says, andnoted that the freeze will reduce the numberof Jack O’ Lantern-sized pumpkins in a yearthat already had lower than normal yields.“This year the crop was lower, becausepumpkins like it hot. It was just too coldthis summer for them.”

Shop early if you plan on replacing yourpumpkin popsicle, since supplies will belimited. Head out to the local u-pick placesand farm stands, where pumpkin connois-

seurs can find plenty of designer colors inred, white, tan and grey, as well as lumpyRed Warty Thing and log-like Bananasquash.

Check the pumpkins carefully to makesure they aren’t damaged by cold, choosethose that are unbruised, have sturdy stemsand are without mold. Run your hands overthe entire gourd to feel for soft spots or areasthat look wet and shriveled; those are suresigns that pumpkin will turn into a Holly-wood horror show before Halloween.

Make repairsbefore winterBy Dwight Barnett

Scripps Howard News Service

I have compiled a top-10 fall main-tenance to-do list to guide you to-ward needed repairs before winter’sonslaught forces you indoors.

1. Before you use any fossil-fuel-burning appliance, the chimney, ventor flue needs to be inspected forblockages or damage. Hire a profes-sional to inspect the venting systems.

2. Change the batteries in smokealarms and carbon-monoxide detec-tors. Smoke alarms should be re-placed every five years.

3. Visually inspect the roof andgutters for signs of damage or leaks.Clean the gutters and extend therunoff drains at least 6 feet from thehome’s foundation. Roof repairsshould be made before the tempera-tures drop and damp weather.

4. Have the home’s heating systeminspected and serviced for optimumoperating efficiency and safety. If youheat your home with a gas- or oil-fired furnace or boiler, the flamesand oxygen levels should be adjustedand the heat exchanger inspected forcracks or damage.

5. Change furnace filters. Why isthis on a fall maintenance list? Adirty filter is the No. 1 cause of inef-ficiency for a forced air heating/cool-ing system. A dirty filter blocks air-flow through the fan, which candamage not only the fan, but also theoutside unit of a heat pump/air con-d i t i o n e r.

6. On these cooler days, it wouldbe a good idea to check the insula-tion in the attic. Heat rises, and apoorly insulated attic allows all thatexpensive warm air to escapethrough the roof.

7. Inspect the openings around ex-terior windows, doors and any othercrack or opening on the wall of thehome.

8. Remove garden hoses, and drainand store for winter.

9. Replace the outside light bulbs.10. Finally, the least favorable

maintenance item is to inspect thefoundation crawlspace of your home.

Tricks and Treatsfor Halloween Decor

ForHalloweenfun, surpriseyour friendswithunexpecteddisplays, likethis skeletonlounging on ascreenedporch.(SHNS/CourtesyBobGreenspan)

By Mary Carol Garrity


In my hometown of Atchison, wehave all the ingredients for a chillingHalloween celebration, from creepyVictorian mansions to so many spookswe’ve been declared the Most HauntedTown in Kansas.

But you don’t have to live in a townthat’s home to a lot of ghosts and gob-lins to have a fun and frightful Hal-loween. It’s easy to add a few ghoulishtouches to your fall decor that willtake your style to spooky new heights.

Give Your Basics a MakeoverThe key to achieving a sophisticat-

ed, but scary Halloween look is not togo so overboard with decorations thatyour home looks like a Halloween funhouse. Instead, use your cunning tocome up with a few well-placed dis-plays that catch guests off guard andmake them cackle with fright.

Start by dipping into your cauldronof creativity for ideas on how you canreinvent some of your favorite year-round decorating tools to use infrightening holiday displays. Howabout your black iron urns? Most gar-den urns look like they were pluckedfrom a gothic graveyard, so it doesn’t

take much to trick them up.Fill your urn with fallen branches

that are either left natural or spray-painted black or silver. Then drapefaux spider webs and little wire spi-ders around the twigs. Or spray-painta willow wreath with black glitterpaint, then place the wreath on themouth of an urn. Fill in the centerwith a large silver gazing ball. Rightnow, I’m on the prowl for body parts –not real ones, of course, but arms andlegs from old mannequins. I want tospray paint the appendages black andposition them so they stick out of aniron urn.

Silver serving pieces, like five-armed candelabras, are perfect whenyou want to conjure up a gothic look.Top the candlesticks with drippyblack candles or perch a sinister birdon an arm, like a raven or a black owl.If you have any garden statuary, give ita spooky twist. Wrap scrim aroundthe face and neck of a garden bust soit looks like a mummy or ghost.

Get out the glass apothecary jars,compotes and bowls, and fill themwith well-loved Halloween treats, likecandy corn and wax vampire teeth.Or, go for the gross-out factor by fill-ing the jars with rubber eyeballs, plas-

tic spiders or even faux vermin, like arat or roaches.

Punch It Up with Playful PropsIf you use kitschy Halloween props

in your decor, make the displays sub-tle and sly, not overwhelming orschmaltzy. For instance, I wanted togive guests a jolt when they steppedonto my screened porch last Hal-loween, so I reclined a skeleton on thechaise and put a copy of one of mybooks in her hands. It was fun towatch people jump and then let outnervous laughs as they took in the un-expected scene.

To give trick-or-treaters a laugh,find an old mirror and write “Tu r nBack Now” on it in red nail polish.Then hang it on your front door withsome Halloween ribbon and fauxblack carnations covered with glitter.Make your entryway foreboding bydecorating your chandelier with twistsof honeysuckle vine that’s covered ina spider’s web.

On your dining table, put a blackskull encrusted with glitter in thepunch bowl or on a cake plate. Let askeleton hand hold the salt and pep-per shakers. Put china toads in every-one’s soup bowls. Fill vases with moreglittery black carnations.

Sealing in fall can prevent repairsArticle Resource

A ss o c i at i o n

With coolernights and shorterdays, it’s time toget on that fallhome maintenanceplan now. Winter ison the way, bring-ing falling temper-atures and wet con-ditions that createa host of smallproblems that canadd up to big costsby spring. Even seasoned homeown-ers may overlook some small but sig-nificant steps that can help ward offmajor home repairs.

One of the best ways to protectyour property from the elements isby sealing surfaces where rain, ice,wind and melting snow can intrude.You can save thousands in repaircosts when spring arrives by sealingwindows, doors, the roof and eventhe driveway now, before the damageoccurs.

Seal From the Top DownWinter elements – from tempera-

ture extremes, ice and snow, to wind,rain and water intrusion – can causeextensive damage to roofs, exteriorwalls, garages, windows, driveways,patios and pavers, sidewalks andother exposed areas. Seal cracks inthese areas to keep out winter’s in-trusive, damaging elements and pre-vent costly problems.

Fall Sealing Prevents Spring LeaksMany expensive, major spring roof

repairs start as simple leaks thatcould have been solved through seal-ing. The most common roof leaksbegin around chimneys, skylights,pipes, flashing and vents.

As part of your fall maintenanceroutine, seal these potential problemareas by troweling on asphalt cementsuch as Leak Stopper or All-WeatherRoof Cement. Or try a new product,Black Jack Neoprene Flashing Ce-ment, a 100 percent rubber formulathat gets tougher throughout time.

For flat or low-slope asphalt roofsthat are cracking at the seams, resealwith Black Jack Roof & FoundationCoating.

Take the Chill Off Winter BillsHeat loss is a major cause of high

winter energy bills. But according toEnergy Star, you can save up to 20percent on heating and cooling costs– or up to 10 percent on your totalannual energy bill – simply by seal-ing and insulating.

Don’t Forget the DrivewayRoad salt and driveway ice melt

products may do the trick to keepdriveways and sidewalks from beingslippery, but they take a toll on as-phalt and cement surfaces. Pittingand cracks from winter water, saltand chemicals can intrude into smalldriveway or sidewalk cracks, creat-ing major repair issues come spring.Sealing your driveway, sidewalk andpatio can help prevent damage.

To avoid expensive problems,caulk cracks in asphalt or concretewith Black Jack or Gardner crackfillers. Then seal concrete (cement)driveways, patios and sidewalks withKrystal Brilliance, a 100 percentacrylic clear sealer that effectivelystops salt and water damage.

Pillow talk 5

Proper care, feeding is important for a fall lawn

We all know that to get good sleep, weneed a good mattress. But what about agood pillow? Yes, also important.

Did you know that, traditionally, strawwas used as a filler for pillows?Straw-filled pillows are cheap but nottoo comfortable. Feathers and down arethe most expensive and usually the mostcomfortable. They offer softness andhave the ability to conform to shapes de-sired by the user, more so than a foamor a fiber pillow. Allergies, you say?There are hypoallergenic down pillowsavailable in the market today.

The American Down and FeatherCouncil has a list of tips for purchasingjust the right pillow for a good night’ssleep. Let’s explore.

Should you choose down pillows,feather pillows or a combination of both?If you want to feel like you’re resting ona cloud, a 100 percent down pillow isthe way to go. If a slightly firmer feel ispreferable, go for a blend of feathers anddown. Still dreaming of a firmer pillow?A 100 percent feather pillow is suggest-ed. There are also pillows that are com-bined of a core of supportive featherswith an outer section of down.

The problem most people encounterwith down or feather pillows is that thepoints of the down or feathers pokethrough the fabric. Not pleasant. Theconstruction of the pillow covering iswhat to look at to get a pillow that willbe more pleasant to sleep on. Tightlywoven fabrics with a thread count of 230or more will help keep those plumesfrom poking through. The council alsotells us that double-needle-sewn con-struction prevents leakage and producesdurable pillows.

As we know, pillows get dirty. Most pil-lows can be washed in the washing ma-chine on the gentle cycle. They can bedried in the dryer on low heat. Somesuggest tossing a tennis ball or two tobreak up any clumps that might haveformed during washing. If the pillow orpillows aren’t dirty but just need fluffing,simply place them in the dryer on lowheat with a damp washcloth. That shouldplump up the volume.

There are basically three sizes of bedpillows. Standard size is 20-by-26 inches.This size fits well on a twin bed or on adouble bed. The queen size is 20-by-30inches and fits well on a queen-size bed.Then there is the king-size pillow mea-suring 20-by-36 inches. You guessed it:This pillow fits best on king beds. Somepeople will put a king-size pillow on atwin bed, and there is nothing wrongwith that. Some people put two king pil-lows on a king bed with two standard ortwo queen pillows propped up in front.Nothing wrong with that, either. Thegoal is comfort.

As more homeowners choose to stay and play in theircurrent homes instead of selling, Brad Staggs,HGTVPro.com and DIY show producer and host, and a li-censed contractor, offers five solid interior renovation tips,each of which easily can be accomplished in a weekend.

1. First Impression – If the first thing your visitors seeupon entering your home is cold tile flooring or worn car-pet, it’s time to make a grand entrance. Rip up that datedlook and replace it with clean, fresh, easy-to-maintain woodflooring.

2. Kitchen Face-Lift – According to the DIY Network,kitchen renovations are one of the best ways to add value toa home. To keep the project from becoming overwhelming,take it one step at a time. Staggs recommends starting withthe kitchen island.

3. Clean up the Bathroom – Why neglect the one room inyour house everyone will see? Create a fun, whimsical reststop by decorating following a theme. Create a beach bath-room by installing beadboard paneling at chair-rail level,then topping off the look with whitewashed woodenshelves displaying favorite seashells and driftwood.

4. Dine in Style – Often the most formal room in thehome, try this easy project to add another layer of style tothe dining room – picture frame moulding. Just below thechair rail, install round moulding pieces, cut to create asquare or rectangle on the wall.

5. A fun office? There’s no need for a home office to be asserious as a cube; create an environment designed to nur-ture and encourage good work habits. Customize the officewith well-loved touches: photos lining the walls and tro-phies and other memorabilia originally displayed.

Steps toRe n o v a t i n g

Make a great first impression by adding a touch of class and style toyour entry space.

Most people view spring and sum-mer as the peak time for lawn care, butit’s fall that actually marks the begin-ning of your lawn’s growing season.There are simple but crucial steps totake now to promote a strong, beautifullawn through next season and beyond.

Whether you have the best yard inthe neighborhood or you haven’t hadmuch success with your turf, you canimprove and maintain the condition ofyour lawn if you take these three steps.

Build a FoundationThe ideal conditions that come with

fall make it the best time to feed yourlawn. The autumn window of opportu-nity to repair summer damage andachieve long-term lawn success is

small, but it’s also a critical time tobuild and strengthen the root system. Aproduct such as Scotts Turf BuilderWinterguard helps build strong, deeproots for a better foundation in yourexisting lawn. The better the root sys-tem, the more robust your lawn will benext year. A good fall feeding will keepyour turf strong and green throughoutthe fall, winter and into spring.

Encourage New GrowthFall is also the best time to seed your

lawn. The soil is still warm, but the airis cooler, meaning weeds have less op-portunity to compete. Trees are shed-ding their leaves so grass receives moresun, and diseases that attack grassseedlings are less active in the fall.Overseeding with Scotts Turf Builder

grass seed promotes (or helps create) athick, lush lawn at the start of spring,making it difficult for airborne weedseeds to root in the soil.

To reseed your bare spots, dig upbare areas, mix in compost, sow yourseeds and cover with more compost. Ifthe weather is dry, keep the seeded soilmoist until new grass begins to grow.

Leave the Rake BehindDon’t spend time raking and bagging

leaves this season. Mulching leaves in-to dime-sized pieces by mowing overthem and leaving them on the lawnprovides valuable nutrients needed toproduce thick, green turf in the spring.Mulching helps build a better founda-tion and returns much-needed organicmatter back into the soil.



Home buyers can find additional help locallyBy Aviya Kushner

b a n k r at e . c o m

With ads everywhere touting the$8,000 federal tax credit for first-timehome buyers, it may be easy to overlookother programs that can help homeshoppers save big.

The best deals often go to buyers whotake a combo-platter approach to homefinance. Your state, city, employer andneighborhood improvement associationmay all have deals that you can tap withthe $8,000 federal tax credit. Alumni as-sociations and rural development agen-cies might also help reduce your hous-ing costs.

Don’t forget the big three. The seller,builder and lender can kick in some seri-ous sweeteners. And don’t lollygag:Mortgage incentive programs and inter-est rates can change frequently and with-out notice.

“Research what programs are available(now) in a given locale,” says JohnKarsten, broker and owner of KarstenReal Estate in Waupun, Wis.

Often, you won’t find out about thesepublic and private programs withoutputting in some time doing online and

phone research. While the federal taxcredit arrives only after you own thehome, builders, sellers, lenders andsome localities will give you cash whenyou need to seal the deal at the closingtable.

Some states offer excellent housing as-sistance. You may be able to double dipand get state help now and a federalcredit later.

In June, California reinstituted adown-payment loan program and specialloans for homes owned by the CaliforniaHousing Authority.

The down-payment assistance is of-fered through a deferred-payment juniorloan of up to 3 percent of the purchaseprice or appraised value – whichever isless – for all homes, and up to 5 percentfor homes in certain areas.

To find out what your state has, trythe U.S. Housing and Urban Develop-ment site, which has a scroll-down,state-specific menu.

But no matter what your state offers,compare its mortgage deal with the low-down-payment programs offeredthrough the Federal Housing Adminis-tration and those offered by the Depart-

ment of Veterans Affairs.Even in this market, some cities and

towns still have funds earmarked to helpdevelop particular neighborhoods.

In Chicago, buyers in some areas canget up to 4 percent of the home priceback in their choice of down-paymentassistance, closing costs or buy-down.

And don’t forget city tax deals. Wash-ington, D.C., has a first-time home buy-er tax credit of up to $5,000. There is al-so a five-year, property-tax abatementprogram, and the city has recording andtransfer tax credits that can go towardclosing costs.

Government help is not just for peo-ple in big cities.

The Rural Development Association,through the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture, is still offering home-buying assis-tance to those who qualify. Dependingon the exact location of the home, theUSDA can offer longer terms, like 38years instead of 30.

Some rural municipalities offer gener-ous help. NeighborWorks Montana pro-vides up to $40,000 in down-paymentand closing-cost assistance to qualifyingbuyers who meet income guidelines.

In this market, don’t be afraid toask the seller for help.

“Ninety percent of the deals cross-ing my desk have some sort of sellerconcessions,” says Ryan Stone, vicepresident of WCS Lending in South-field, Mich.

The seller contribution can reachup to 6 percent of an FHA loan thatallows a 3.5 percent down payment,and 3 percent of a conventional loanthat requires a higher down payment,he says. “So if it’s a $200,000 home,the sales price is listed at $205,000,and the seller gets a check for$200,000, letting the buyer financeclosing costs with that $5,000.”

Spreading that $5,000 cost through-out 30 years definitely decreases thebite. Meanwhile, Karsten is seeing an-other sales tactic. Sellers can’t offermuch cash with that 6 percent cap,but they can do other things.

“Sellers are reducing the listed pricein order to get the property sold,”Karsten says. “That reduction repre-sents the cost of the repairs. If it needsa new roof, they get it done before itcloses.”

Turn up the color on your wallsArticle Resource Association

When the weather cools andthe bright sun of summer fadesinto autumn’s grayer skies, barebland walls can feel like an uglymark on your home’s decor.Suddenly, those undecoratedwalls that you were too busy tonotice this past summer cry outfor color and pizzazz – especiallyif you’re dealing with economy-induced stress.

“Fall is a great time to redeco-rate because as the weather coolspeople start heading indoorsagain,” says Jonathon Fong, aLos Angeles-based interior deco-rator and author of “Walls thatWo w. ” “Home is more importantagain whereas summer was allabout the outdoors. We want tomake our homes comfortable,cozy and beautiful again. Andwhen we decorate during thefall, we can show off our effortsat the holidays.”

So what are the hot trends andeasy do-it-yourself decoratingupgrades that will be hot thisfall? Fong and artist MatthewLew offer a few tips.

Bright, Aggressive Color“The hot colors in home decor

this fall will be brighter, happierversions of traditional fall hues –butter yellow, orange, persim-mon and all shades of blues,”predicts Fong. “These are colorsof optimism, and in the currenteconomy, people want to be sur-rounded by hope. These happycolors put you in a good mood.”

“The hottest colors for roomredesigns this fall will be aggres-sive color combos, using colorslike scandal red or lobster pairedwith yolk yellow or custard,”says Lew, whose work has beenfeatured on “Extreme MakeoverHome Edition,” HGTV’s “DivineDesign” and CBS’s “The EarlyS h o w. ”

“People want a splash of colorin their homes,” Lew adds. “Theaggressive color combinationsare great because they can makea bold statement simply withoutoverdoing it. I think people areattracted to that, especially withthe economy right now.”

Texture That’s Easy to AchieveAdding texture to a wall is an-

other trend, especially if it’s asimple texture that homeownersfeel confident doing themselves,Fong says. Patterns, vinyl letter-ing or decals, and even wallpa-per murals are great ways to addinterest to boring walls.

Both designers agree wallpa-per murals will continue to bepopular, both for their versatilityand ease installation by DIYhomeowners. Fong has incorpo-rated wallpaper murals from theWeb site w w w. M u r a l s Yo u r Wa y.com into his designs.

Finally, when you’re ready foryour fall design spruce up, Lewand Fong have a few tips.

• “Think baby steps,” Fongsays. Decorate a small wall orsection of a large wall first. Giveyourself a day to get used to it.

• Consider your favorite col-ors and how you can use them tomake your design “say what youwant it to say,” Lew suggests.

• Go beyond paint and tex-ture. Try fabric, paper and metal,Fong urges. Get creative, butdon’t forget simple tricks too.“Sometimes the simplest thing isa mirror,” Lew says. “It opens upthe entire room and brings inlight.”

• Keep it real. “Look at yourwall’s dimensions and be realis-tic,” Lew says. “Sometimes hav-ing the entire wall covered is toooverpowering and a smaller scalewould look better. For example,you might want to use part ofthe wall as a mural and thenpaint the other portions a similarc o l o r. ”

• “No matter how it turns outin the end,” Fong says. “Say youmeant it to look that way.”

Make furniture arranging hassle-free1. Take Measurements – The first step in arranging a

space is determining its size. Use a tape measure to getthe dimensions of a room. Or try this quick tip: measureyour foot and then walk heel to toe across the room.

2. Estimate Volume – All objects have a height, a depthand a width. For added visual interest, “people” yourroom with varying furniture of varying characteristics.

3. It’s All a Matter of Scale – The size of pieces relativeto one another and the size of the space is their scale.Again, similarly scaled pieces are more calming whenused together, but a nice balance of pieces creates a har-monious atmosphere.

Re/Max Traditions assists arearesidents

September was a busy one for agents at Re/Max Tradi-tions with a month-long food drive to benefit the OURCenter. The big push came on Sept. 26 when the officesponsored a Shred-It Truck at their office. Area residentswere invited to bring their confidential documents forshredding and safe disposal, and were asked to bringsome non-perishable food for the drive.

The OUR Center has a constant need for food, andthis year has been a demanding one. The Re/Max driveyielded 630 pounds of food and cash donations fromthose who didn’t get to the grocery store. Besides assist-ing with meals for the hungry, the environment washelped as well. The busy Shred-It truck devoured 1,400pounds of paper per hour. This is equivalent to approxi-mately 40 copy boxes per hour. The three hour eventsaved 22 trees.

Martha Stewart’s bookgives reason to get craftyBy Jennifer Decamp

St. Petersburg Times

I want to be Martha Stewart. Not the Birkin-tot-ing, poncho-wearing Martha. Not the jailed-for-in-sider-trading Martha. Not the head-of-a-multimil-lion-dollar-corporation Martha.

I want to be the woman who looks at a dozenGrade A large eggs and imagines them as a glitter-ing Easter centerpiece fashioned with gilded bas-ket and bow. Or who spies seaweed washed upwith the tide and thinks, “That would make greatwall art” – then actually accomplishes it.

I’ve long used Martha’s ideas to spur my owncreativity. A photograph of mums planted in hol-lowed-out pumpkins from Martha Stewart Living(September 2002) sent my mom running to thepumpkin patch. Those pumpkin-potted mumsserved as the perfect centerpieces for my autumnwedding’s rehearsal dinner.

Living has become my guide whether I’m look-ing for ideas, inspiration ... or the outlandish (I dohave my limits: Learning how to etch glass crossesthat line). Torn-out pages from the magazine,neatly stuffed into page protectors, make up mygo-to craft bible. They’re my “somedays.” As in,someday I’ll actually make sand candles (Summer2002), or braid a terry-cloth bath mat (April2003), or create a mantel swag from holly leavesand berries (December 2006).

Then Martha took many of those fabulous ideasand put them into one hardcover book: “M a rt h aS t e w a rt ’s Encyclopedia of Crafts: An A-to-Z GuideWith Detailed Instructions and Endless Inspira-tion” ($35, Potter Craft).

“S o m e d a y, ” it turns out, is now.My purple binder full of projects never called to

my inner do-it-yourselfer genie as does this fabnew book with its 416 pages of glossy color pho-tos and step-by-step guides to more than 200crafts.

“Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts” com-bines the ingenuity of 17 years of projects fromthe pages of Living in one reader-friendly volume.Each chapter offers a basic introduction to a par-ticular skill, detailed information on the materialsused and a specific supply list for a variety of pro-jects.

The back of the book contains a pictorial sec-tion on the tools and materials needed, which ishandy if you’re like me and couldn’t tell the differ-ence between chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliersand wire cutters. Also included are project tem-plates, a list of vendors and a handy buyer’s guideif you just have to have the exact same gold leafp i c t u re d .

Martha’s Project: Folded-Petal FlowersSupplies:Tissue paperSloth-wrapped floral wireFloral tape

Cut 10 rectangles (1.75 inches by 2.75 inches) and cut 8rectangles (1.25 inches by 2 inches) from tissue paper. (Each flowerhas 10 large petals and 8 small petals.)

Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise; cut 1 end of each to berounded, and twist the other end to a point. (This will give the petalits concave shape.)

For the center, roll a small piece of tissue paper in a contrastingcolor into a tiny ball. Cut out a square from the contrasting tissuepaper, and wrap it around the ball, twisting the tissue paper at itsbase. Attach the twist to a piece of floral wire by wrapping bothwith floral tape.

Add petals one at a time (start with small petals and end withlarge ones), taping twisted ends of the petals to the floral wire, thenwrapping the floral tape around the stem. After the last petal isattached, spread out all the petals to achieve the flower’s shape.

Interest-only loans don’t allow for payment towards principal

Ilyce Glink

Tribune Media Services

Q: Twenty-one months ago, my husbandand I refinanced our home loan. At thattime our plans were to stay in the area up toanother two years, so we agreed to an inter-est-only loan at 6.5 percent, a good rate atthe time.

It looks now as though we’ll stay here atleast another year, so I’m wondering how tohandle our monthly mortgage payments.Our loan allows us to prepay any amount wewant toward the principal in addition to ourmonthly interest payment.

Should we refinance this mortgage? Is itwise to send extra money toward the princi-pal in this situation, or should we just con-tinue to make the required interest-onlymortgage payment?

Interest only loans were quite popular duringthe past several years and were probably a goodchoice for those homeowners who did not in-tend to live in a particular home for a lengthyperiod of time.

With an interest-only loan, you never paidoff any of the debt owed on the home. You sim-ply paid interest on the loan. If your loan wasfor $200,000 and you sold the home three yearslater, you still owed the bank $200,000.

If you were thinking about refinancing theloan, the real issue would be to determine whathas happened to the value of your property

throughout the past 21 months. If the propertyhas fallen 10 percent in value and you don’thave any equity in the property, then you couldonly refinance the loan by coming to the clos-ing table with a fat stack of cash in hand.

If, however, you have plenty of equity in theproperty and simply chose an interest-only loanin order to conserve your cash flow eachmonth, then you should be fine if you were torefinance now or when you sell a year or twodown the line and there isn’t a compelling rea-son to pay any more toward your balance.

Figuring out whether you have equity – and,if not, how you’re going to find the cash youneed to balance everything out at the closingtable – should be where you turn your focus.

But whether or not you have equity, I don’t

see the need to send extra cash to pay down theprincipal balance of the mortgage at this time.Your payment to the lender at this time may notreduce your monthly payments much, if any.And money for the prepayment on your mort-gage may be better saved or invested elsewhere.

These days, cash is king. If you believe thatyou can do better by prepaying the mortgage at6.5 percent interest rather than stashing it intoa savings account where you would only earn atiny amount of interest, then that makes somesense.

But you need to make sure you have suffi-cient savings on hand these days in case youneed the money. Once you pay your lenderthe money, you won’t be able to ask for itback

If you believe you will stay in this home for 5to 10 years, rather than just one more year asyou expect, you should think about refinancinginto a 15- or 30-year loan with a low fixed in-terest rate.

In search of a silver liningBy Helaine Fendelman and Joe

R o ss o n


Dear Helaine and Joe: On the backof this cake plate are the initials“EP” and “W H. ” It is stamped“Forbes Silver Co. Warranted 0527Hamilton Canada.” My mother is anative of Hamilton, Ontario, and sheis interested in learning the value ofthis plate. – N.B., Colorado Springs

Dear N.B.: First, let’s deal with theinitials “EP” and “WH,” because theypoint to the heart of the matter and sayexactly what this piece is.

EP stands for electroplate, whichmeans the plate was manufactured us-ing electricity and a solution that con-tained silver ions and potassiumcyanide. WH stands for white metal,meaning that the base metal used tomake the body of this piece containedan alloy of tin, copper, lead, antimonyand bismuth.

Electroplating silver and gold ontobase metals is a process that has beenaround for a long time. It is said thatItalian chemist Luigi Brugnatelli in-vented the process in 1805; he used a

voltaic pile to produce the necessarye l e c t r i c i t y.

The value of vintage silver electro-plate is fairly modest, and for insur-ance-replacement purposes, this exam-ple should be valued in the $100 to$125 range.

Helaine Fendelman and Joe Rosson are the authorsof “Price It Yourself” (HarperResource, $19.95).Contact them at Treasures in Your Attic, P.O. Box27540, Knoxville, TN 37927. E-mail them at treas u r e s @ k n o l o g y. n e t .
