Merry Christmas 2009 from Unique Motif

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

bethlehemMERRY CHRISTMAS – from Dean and Robin and Unique Motif !

We wish you and your family a very merry Christmas celebration and a Happy New Year. We wish for you, in 2010, the greatest prosperity and blessings.

PROSPERITY does not consist in the quantity or substance of the things we possess, or how much money we have in the bank.

Over two thousand years ago, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to be born like one of us – to die for all of us. He paid the price for our sin. Our sin is in our nature and our nature is to reject God and His authority; and we cannot pay for that, not even with our own blood. But God, Himself, came to earth, became one of us. He willingly left His splendor in Heaven and suffered death at the hands of men – the hands of men He created, in order to bring us back to God. That is why Jesus said, He came to give us life more abundantly (John 10:10).

This is why birthday parties for Jesus really miss the point: Christmas is not a celebration of Jesus’ birthday. We are not celebrating another year older, nor are we celebrating the date of His birth. We are celebrating God’s greatest gift to man, the gift of Himself and His willing sacrifice – we are celebrating Christ’s triumph over sin and death, so we can live with Him forever; and He gives us freedom on earth, no matter our lot in life.

In the days of old, and Bible times included, it was common to celebrate with song, festivities and the giving of gifts whenever a people received a great victory, military or otherwise. So, too, in our giving of gifts to family and friends, we are celebrating the salvation and redemption God has given freely to man. This is why we give – not to fulfill some materialistic lust, though it appears we have devolved into this as a society. When we give our gifts, let us remember the reason for the giving – Jesus has conquered death, and that is our greatest victory.

The best way to celebrate Christmas is to receive the gift God has given to men (read John chapter one). This gift was God who became man, who died for our sin in our place. Everyone who repents of their sin and receives this gift will have everlasting life. This is true prosperity and the greatest prosperity, indeed.

Merry Christmas!
/s/ Dean and Robin

josephineThis week the new furniture line from International Ideas arrived. This is quality furniture made from kiln-dried mahoghany hardwoods. Every piece is hardwood lumber throughout – there are no softwood, no fillers, no bi-products and no particle boards. All drawer sides are dovetail joined.

There is a good selection of end tables, hall tables, desks, buffets, bookcases and benches. I have sat in their chairs and they are very comfortable, too. Styling will blend in with traditional, colonial, old country, country and modern. Colors range from red, antique white, dark and medium brown, chartruse green and more.

Our New Display Table

Friday, May 29th, 2009

librarytable01Sorry. I did not take any “before” photos. It was an old library table that was hand painted blue. A nasty, not-quite-so-baby blue. The old paint was scraped off by hand – not sanded. Then, around the table top, I added a 2.25 inch strip of oak that fades in at the drawer.


librarytable02After more prep, the undercarriage was painted black. The burning on the legs was done AFTER the first coat of lacquer to burn the finish into the base.


librarytable03The drawer is the original, except for the face. It was taken completely apart. A new face was created and dovetailed (hand cut) into the original carcass. Installation was completed after all the finish coats. I installed a standard touch latch for a push-in-to-open operation. However, the latch is not strong enough to push against the force of the ball-bearing, top mount drawer guide. Because this table is being used for display, I might worry about that later.


librarytable04After coating the undercarriage with black enamel, the top was coated with red enamel. It took over two hours to burn the top.


librarytable05But you can see, patience and 25 sheets of sandpaper was worth the effort. The lacquer finish is water-borne and is very easy to spray. Using a CA Tech Bandit pressure pot connected via hose and fittings to a Lynx gun. The setup is for HVLP, however I run it off an air compressor, filtered and regulated down to 40 pounds.


librarytable06Another view of the beautiful burn. Finished 3 days ahead of schedule. I was determined to have this finished over the Memorial Day weekend (Monday). However, after finishing the burn on Thursday night, Friday I came home from work twice to coat lacquer and applied the third coat after work. Then, the finish had no sooner tacked up and I had the table flipped over on drop cloths and was installing the drawer! When I get excited, it is hard to wait – I probably would not have slept!


librarytable07Here it is, being useful in our store on Saturday morning! I am grateful to God for giving me the health and the ability to do a project like this.
