Transformations

It's amazing what a little paint and new flooring can do to a house!  

Because our "new to us" home is actually a church parsonage, they renovated the house before we moved in.  We are so amazed at how much they invested in us before they really even knew us!  We feel truly blessed and are so thankful for all of the work so many of the church members did for us!  

From painting to ripping out old carpet to clearing brush in the backyard to mowing to helping us load and unload furniture to giving us an old fashioned food pounding...we have felt such a warm welcome!  

Thank you, Bro, Andy & Renie and members of Idabel FBC!  

You are living out the Acts 2 church!

Here are a few BEFORE and AFTER pictures of our new home.

AFTER

Living Room & Dining & Kitchen

(They removed half of the wall between the living room & kitchen.  

It opened up the whole living area!  

You can stand at the fireplace & see all the way to the boys' bathroom and vice versa!)

AFTER 

(Entry way.  On the other side of the wall where the entry table is, they built a wall for the refrigerator.)

AFTER

(Master Bedroom.  I guess I didn't get a before picture of this room.)

 BEFORE

(Kitchen.  They removed half of the blue wall to open up into the living room.

Then they built a space for the refrigerator on the right and added cabinets and

prep space next to the oven/stove.)  

BEFORE

(Kitchen.  And the most obvious difference...they changed EVERYTHING that was

BROWN to WHITE.  Lightened up the whole house!)

BEFORE

(Family Room/School Room)

(4th bedroom that they turned into a laundry room/craft room.

The washer & dryer were outside in the garage on the opposite side of the 

right wall, so they changed the pipes to work INSIDE!)

As for us, we walk around the house with a big smile on our face daily!
