Matthew House had a "divine" make-over! Thanks to designer Candice Olsen and a wonderful crew from the TV make-over program Divine Design (and great volunteers ), the living and dining rooms of MH have had a complete make-over. The transformation is amazing!!! The show was re-broadcast on the Women's (W) Network on July 22 at 10pm - check the Divine Design website to read about it.
