Boomers Enjoying a Change of Life Style and a Downsized Home in Waterloo, Ontario

Though I grew up and lived in a big city all my life,  it has always been my dream to live in a small town with a quieter life style. After praying about this for a little while, we were blessed that an opportunity came up for us to do so.  Pastor V. invited us for lunch and I shared with her about our vision and desire to purchase a place in Waterloo. Immediately she shared some great info with us.

Our new home needed a huge amount of renovation work done!

She made an appointment for us to see the property with the property manager. We looked at two town houses and liked one of them as it fit the criteria we had in mind! The deal was done!

D. helping us to put together our furniture in our new home.

When we bought this humble abode a few months ago, it was a rundown, old worn house, a serious handyman special needing a lot of repair.

But we saw the potential in this house located within the walking distance to the University of Waterloo campus.

We decorated the long hall way with artwork by young people from Toronto.

After two months and with professional help from our contractors, it is beginning to take shape.

Our kitchen has been renovated completely!

Our wonderful contractor fixed the plasters, repaired the water damages in the ceiling , repainted the entire house and ripped up the old worn carpet replacing it with brand new laminated flooring.

We even got a brand new kitchen! It is  small, but modern and highly functional!










We added French doors in the living room, a main floor bathroom  as well as putting in all new modern fixtures throughout the entire house.

Though the old furnace was still working, we decided to replace it with a brand new one to make the house more heat efficient.

Our favourite room of the house!

Our tiny old house has been transformed from an unappreciated ugly duckling into a beautiful white swan.

We love our home in Waterloo, a medium size Canadian city about an hour and a half hour drive west of Toronto.

God has given us a beautiful second home and this house will be His house, a house filled with love, grace and mercy where people will gather, experience love, and feel God’s presence!
