Tribune photos by January Wetzel / A closeup of the new counters, stove and appliances in the remodeled Anchor House kitchen is seen this this photo.

Sitting around a new kitchen table, three young children laugh and tease each other as they enjoy a healthy snack.

Their stick-figure drawings and coloring pages hang on the doors of a new refrigerator.

After cleaning up, the kids head into the living room, an area divided from the kitchen by a breakfast bar that is often occupied by adults.

Plopping down in bean bag chairs on the floor, they flip on the television to watch cartoons.

This could be the scene from any home in Jackson County, but thanks to donations and a major remodeling project, its now also an everyday occurrence at Anchor House homeless shelter in Seymour.
