		The first look of their new home
		The new home built for the Craft family on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
		The living room is light and airy, an effect created by a twenty-foot ceiling and high windows.
		The Craft’s new dining room table has room around it for everyone.
		A big upgrade for the Craft’s was the new kitchen, which allows everyone to help cook together.
		Directly off the living room, the outdoor patio extends the family’s living area.
		Samantha likes to be cold and has always wanted to visit Alaska so the Extreme Makeover designers created an igloo room for her.
		Sarah loves monkeys and her new room is full of them! It even comes with a banana-shaped dresser.
		Bella’s room also contains a separate toilet and bathing area, making it easy for Liz to care for her.
		Created with a little boy in mind, Todd Joseph’s room is a sports haven with basketballs, footballs, baseballs and baseball bats.
		Todd and Liz Craft’s room is decorated around a frog theme.
		Todd and Liz’s third child, William, died shortly after birth. A shadowbox was created in his memory out of their old front door.
		A therapy room created the space necessary for Bella’s physical and occupational therapy.
