Our new home in Florida

After four months of remodeling we are finally in our new home at 53 Gideon Rd., Sebring, FL. The Maranatha Village crew has been awesome in all that they have done for us.


We love it here and are so thankful the Lord brought us here to this beautiful place.  


When you walk in the door you come into our wonderful Florida Room that faces the road and the pond.


The room has two comfortable reclining loveseats, and is bright, but warm -- and very inviting.


The room also serves as our primary daily eating place and focus of our living.


Every morning it is a great place for a cup of coffee and a front row view of the Village residents already out for their morning constitution. This picture below and the new masthead at the top of this blog show the sight we see out our front window.


Adjacent to the Florida Room is the kitchen and it has been totally transformed with granite countertops and all new appliances.


It is bright, cheerful and has lots of work space and places to store all of the 
needful things.

From the kitchen the laminate flooring leads to the rest of the house. On the wall there are some special pieces of art that highlight several eras of our life.


The hallway leads to the living room that has quiet, comfortable tones which are accented by Connie's touches of color. It is stunning!


To the right is the dining room and it provides a spacious place for entertaining guests in comfort and style.


Both the Living Room and Dining Room have large windows that look out onto the beautiful "oval". This is a shaded common area shared by our neighbors. 



Opposite the windows is where Connie has placed her antique desk and other attractive accent items.


Down the hall is the Master Bedroom with more soft colors and classy accents.


The Master Bath has a beautiful and spacious built-in vanity with large mirrors and lots of storage. 


The Guest Bath is bright and colorful, and the distinctive Florida travel poster just arrived.


The one room still not finished is the Study/Guest Room.  I have my desk and printer stand in place -- plus a small bookcase. But the room is waiting for a Murphy Bed to be installed in about a month. This unit will include a pull-down queen size bed, with side bookcases. It will allow the room to be used as a study and den most of the time, but as a very accomodating guest room for welcomed visitors. Come and visit.


Another feature not finished is a storage shed that is being constructed at the back of the carport. We love the spacious carport -- that also features the attached laundry room on the right.
