Welcome Home Toone Family!

Today was amazing! It was an honor to do this project and give back to one family. The public outpouring of support hopefully shows our veterans how much they are loved by this community. We have not done a makeover like this before. We just met the Toone family two weeks ago! This was pulled together quickly. NBC News asked us to find a project for an upcoming newscast. We originally thought we would soundproof and paint and that would be it. As things progressed, more and and more people stepped forward and offered to help. And when people work on these projects they bring their absolute best. As one contractor said "If I am going to give, it is going to be the best!" We were so impressed at the willingness of everyone to help out a vet. Everything that was added was awesome and so many people gave so much. So to all who gave time or donated thank you. I know it had an effect on the Toone's and the military community. We had a military chaplain visiting from Washington DC last night and he could not get over what our community can do when we put our mind to something! Also thanks to the Toone family for allowing and trusting us to come in your home and tear it apart! And having faith we would put it all back together. We hope you love your home and know how much everyone loves you! See you all on the next project!

Amazing day 1 at the Toone family makeover  We had a busy day and got a lot done. We had some big donations step forward today and things are coming together really well. Thanks to all the people and contractors who have made this house better for this family! We are still looking for counter tops and a fridge.










 Shout out to the Lehi High Basketball team and Coach Yeager for coming out to the Toone house tonight. We had 35 players show up and it was awesome! It is amazing to see how fast a house can get painted. Fun to see the boys get involved in community projects! Thanks also to Tyler Hawkins and Xavier Painting for directing these guys!



 Stay tuned...

Heart 2 Home has big news! Our next home makeover will begin next week! It is a project we are really exited about because it allows us to help a war veteran who has given so much for his country. The makeover will be for Kenneth and Angie Toone. Kenneth served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Since his return he has suffered from the emotional scars that war provides. Our goal is to remodel several parts of his home. We are looking for framers, painters, decorators, flooring, appliances and other home related items. One of the major needs is soundproofing his room. We are also excited to announce NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt will be in town to film the makeover. Please come out and help us make this soldiers home great!

This is what we need:

Master Bedroom:

 The room is too small.  We need to tear out the wall and combine 2 rooms to make a large master for Kenneth and Angie.  We also need to soundproof this room.


 The stairs need new carpet:

 The kitchen needs to be updated.  New appliances,  new flooring.  The sliding glass door needs to be repaired. 



 The family room needs new flooring and needs to be updated.
