Meet the House Makeover Divas


















































Let's just say Mom is not your typical 65 year old senior. She was put to the test and passed with flying colors. Thanks Mom. We transformed this little house and we just found out yesterday, that a man and his wife, along with their 6 year old son are moving in. Anyway, Mom you are amazing.
