BEFORE/AFTER Ft Worth Condo

*

***

A year ago I posted that we had just gotten a new place in downtown cowtown 

{also known as Ft Worth Texas}

It wasn't really a "new" place but it was new to us! 

Well, it took almost the whole year 

but with a little work 

and a WHOLE lotta help

it finally feels like home!

Now when we go to visit family and friends

we have a place to be at night

without putting people out. 

We have a place to wash up and

even wash our clothes. 

We have a place to be and to call our own!

And we love it!!!

Here was the kitchen before:

and the after: 

  

  

Living room before:

  

and after:

The "observation wall" before:

and after:

[[by the way we see all kinds of things from these windows..

more entertaining then TV!]]

 The room divider (LOL) before:

and after: 

The bedroom wall before:

   

and after:

Bathroom before:

and after:

So there you have it!

Home Sweet Texas Home!

2013 goodness

Every year around this time I choose a word.   A word to ponder. to recognize. to strive for. to live up to. to take action with.   Last year it was grace.   I'm not sure if I chose it or if it chose me but regardless, grace was my word. I am gladly just begining to see how huge that word is.. how abundantly my life is filled with GRACE. 

GRACE 

More Than We Deserve   Greater Than We Imagine
