EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER

THE INTERIOR

As you might recall, I had the unique opportunity to be a part of the Extreme Home Makeover that took place in Indianapolis and the show finally aired this past weekend, which allows me to be able to share the pictures of the interior of the home and Library! If you saw the show, you heard the awesome story and what an incredible man Bernard McFarland is! He was soo blessed to not only receive this new home but also the new Library, the Pack House 2000, his mortgage was paid off, he got a new 2010 Ford Taurus, a new 20 passenger van for the Pack House 2000, full ride college tuition for all 3 of his boys to Butler University, a trip to Paris, food for a year from many different contributors, a neighborhood full of improvements, updates, roads, landscaping and soo soo much more!! It was just incredible and such a neat thing to be a part of!!

Holy COW, Jessica. These shots are absolutely incredible!! Seriously, you are so talented!

And the house!? OMG. Amazing. Do you know where they found the furniture? I’m assuming locally? (I secretly want that library inside my house!!!)

You’re amazing!!!

This house turned out beautifully! I work for United Rentals and am so honored to be a part of this process. The Extreme Home Makeover show not only helps people, but it inspires others to help people.

I think of all the “Extreme Makeover” shows, this one was the one who truly showed what a SINGLE MAN can do in changing the bigger picture. Usually I watch and I feel a little envious but this one I cried and cried! Bernard McFarland is a true inspiration to not be a product of your environment. I am very happy for him and his family, and also those whose lives have been affected by this great man.
