The Day the House Came Tumbling Down!

November 4, 2016 has gone down in the Harmony History book as the day The Little White House came tumbling down.

One day ahead of schedule, the Rupp Family and staff of Harmony watched as the "digger" or "scooper," depending on which child you ask, came and demolished the house and and began to excavate the small piece of land in between the Harmony building and the Discovery Garden.  It was an emotional day for all.


Excavation is now complete.  A huge thank you goes out to TW Excavating.  We appreciate your help getting this project started!  Now it's onward and upward as we look forward to the next phase on this journey ~ CONSTRUCTION!

Tiny House Living

After weeks and weeks of renovations, the Rupp Family is all moved into the little apartment above Harmony Natural Learning Center.  Here are a few before and after photos.





As someone who is a minimalist by nature, this small apartment feels just right to Chrissy.  She relishes in the fact that living in this small space forces one to stay neat and tidy.  With the smiles seen on her husband's and children's faces, I think they are feeling the same way (or it could just be that they are thankful that the physical labor of renovating and moving is OVER!).

And now onto the rebirth of The Little White House into a beautiful classroom space on the lower level and a forever home (not too big and not too small) for the Rupps built right on top!
