The Design Team Makeover was an absolute success! Sherry Gore said Barb was able to crawl inside her head and design and create a kitchen that she finally felt was really 'Her Kitchen".

A little bit more info...

For those who want to know a little more:  I (Barb) am in Florida doing a Makeover for Sherry Gore. Google her she is amazing, funny and a new friend of mine. Sherry is an author, storyteller and has been featured on TV for her art of cooking Etc... She is funny and full of life! The Today Show is featuring her on a cooking segment on their show. They are coming to her house to film this Friday! Exciting stuff, but like many of us Sherry wanted a quick makeover of her kitchen to be ready for the BIG DAY. So some how God connected us. I bought my ticket Sunday and Monday morning she picked me up from the airport! Two complete strangers with many things in common plus a goal to make her kitchen a reflection of who she is! Fun, fun we are a day into it! Check out some pics:) p.s. she specializes in PIES and hopes to open a pie store someday called, ME MYSELF AND PIES. Mark my words she will be famous! :) TODAY, Amy Schlabach hopped on a plane and surprised me!! So, she is here to help me!!! Lena is here too!!! What fun!

On the Road!!

Blessed Design Team takes it on the road to Sarasota Florida to design a kitchen for SHERRY GORE!.... Getting her kitchen ready for The Today Show, YES THE REAL TODAY SHOW!!!..... Stay tuned to hear how this God Adventure unfolds. THANK YOU TO AMY AND LENA FOR HEADING DOWN HERE TO BE WITH ME!!!!

March 1-2, 2013 Blessing Makeover

Julie Yoder was nominated (by the ladies of Holmes County) for a home makeover. 
This family deserves to have some sunshine sprinkled throughout their home.
 Read their story here: Julie Yoder and Family

The crew worked hard to get this project completed in two days. A project took place in every room (and hallway!). Much creativity and love went to every inch of this home. :) 

It took a lot of people to get the job done--
painters, scrapers, sanders, organizers, cleaners...the list goes on

Be sure to come back soon, 
Amy will be back on here to explain how they turned this table into a beauty! 

Good friends--Good food--Good day! A BIG THANK YOU to Rebecca Miller 
(owner of Rebecca's Bistro) for providing lunch to the working crew. 


Welcome home Yoder Family!
