Updating Their Comfort
The girls walked their parents into the master bedroom, where they couldn’t wait to show them how they had considered their comfort in every detail. Karen was practically dancing at this point, with plush new carpeting soft beneath her feet.
Chip stopped in the entryway, clearly in shock, hardly breathing while he surveyed the amazing change. While Karen was gushing over the changes, Chip was stunned into silence, with his jaw permanently on the floor as he took in each new wonder.
Rewards Of A Challenge
Karen and Chip stepped over the threshold into the kitchen, and Karen was suddenly overcome with emotion. As tears ran down her face, she admired the new and updated kitchen her daughters had created for their family.
The girls painted the walls a calming, pale blue, and painted the cupboards dark brown, to serve as a contrast. Amazingly, the girls had succeeded in replacing the old and worn countertops with new and gleaming polished marble. They also let their parents know that there were still plenty of surprises to check out.
Dining In Style
While walking into the dining room, Karen had to take off her glasses to wipe the unexpected tears from her eyes. She had never even imagined that her daughters would work so hard to surprise her with this special gift.
It was clear to see that their makeover continued through the rest of the common areas and the changes were unbelievable. The girls walked alongside their mother, giggling and emotional. The pride in their accomplishments bright in their eyes, and Karen had not even seen the rest of the house yet.
Shining With Gratitude
Chip and Karen could barely comprehend what had prompted their children to set out on such a massive, transformative undertaking. The girls had taken care of everything. The master bedroom was completely renovated, including the sparkling tub and shower, and a fresh coat of paint.
All the accessories had also been replaced and matched the style of each room. The Schoonover parents couldn’t believe it, but more surprises were still in store.
An Open Invitation
Karen and Chip were still reeling as the girls led them from the master bedroom into the guest bedroom. The room was completely redone and matched the rest of the house in color scheme and design. As in the other rooms, all the curtains, bedsheets and comforters were new.
The surprised parents felt enormous pride in their incredibly considerate and caring daughters. Clearly the girls had spent not only time and sweat on the project, but also a considerable amount of money.
