HOUSE TOUR | A Former Dallas Church Transforms into a Beautiful Home 

This woman is very fascinating. You can just feel the warmth and gentleness in her. You can tell she’s a kind soul that’s why she was drawn to this church for her. It’s not a religion it’s a feeling.

I had the honor of spending a weekend with Suzy in her home experiencing an amazing transformation retreat. The video does not do her house justice. It’s so beautiful in person.

Nice to see someone “make it” in this world! Good on her! No pretension…totally appreciates what she has AND what she had. Beautiful home!

She is such a VIBE! It’s interesting how so many people think they know what’s best for this woman. She is special and strong and creative and aware. She kept as much of the integrity and character of the home. I support her vision for this church home 100%!

This might be my favorite house tour, but I say this every time I watch one of the tours. Absolutely love her home.

This woman is beautiful and her home is a reflection of her amazing spirit. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing her home and story.

This was the best, most respectful transformation of a church into a home that I have seen. She’s brings her own sense of peace into these spaces. Thank you for sharing with us! (And thank you for the Poopourie!)

Amazing! This is her sanctuary, her healing space, her 'born again' place and it was so inspiring to watch! What a beautiful beautiful soul! Not only did she do a wonderful job but she was respectful in the process of renovation.

All I can say is that I am so inspired by her story, what she did with her home going on her gut knowing it was meant for her future. The home is beautiful but her spirit is even more so.

This precious woman is brilliant!! I adore her tenacity and her foresight. What a sweet persona she pervades. Who ever let her go didn’t deserve her.

Ι can't really tell who is more amazing, this woman or her home! She is spiritual in such a cool way. So sweet and gentle. Her home is beautiful and so special! May she have a wonderful life in it!! New beginning in a new light!!

I'm only barely 8 minutes into this interview and I love ALL Homeworthies, but this particular one has me "shook"! I've laughed and cried already watching her. I can relate to everything she's saying on this journey called life; I'm in a similar transition and transformation in my life. The road is wide open and I'm so excited to craft beauty around me, energetically and physically. I love her aesthetic, her vision and most of all, her energy. Cheers to you, Suzy. I'm with you on this journey too! And BEAUTIFUL home!!!

Suzy is one of the most BEAUTIFUL Beings I've ever seen, she's has Depth, she is Kind, she is Sweet, she is Strong and she's in ALIGNMENT. Love her vision, love her house... love her! Thank you!!!

I love how she is also using her home to create community.

I can feel her healing powers through the video. I cried when she said there is a lot of myths out there that everyone is out to get you and no one wants to help you. But actually people want to help you. Just ask for help. That was a huge eye opening moment for me. Thank You Homeworthy this was a very nice video. Not only the home but getting to know a little more about Suzy Batiz

This woman is Amazing, her story is really inspiring. I never knew you could live in a Church, but she made the place beautiful ❤

She is a breathe of fresh air! The church/ her home is peaceful and comfortable.

I am so impressed she chose to do this herself. She made it truly her own home reflecting her style and her vibe.

Love her! and love what she's done with this space and how she honored it's history

I could not live day to day in such an expansive space where even one’s voice gets both absorbed and amplified in the vastness. But I’m certainly appreciative of her vision and the result!!! She has a great story and has done a wonderful job in making the space her home.

Love Suzy she is a really good human, what an extraordinary personality, she is so open and candid. Her home had so many beautiful pieces and the sense of space and serenity was heart-warming. Her self-perception in saying "I can see potential in things and I've had too many boyfriends where I could see potential" really resonated with me. Thank you Homeworthy I really like the quirky people and homes you have been showing us lately.

I loved this home tour. Suzy has created a beautiful space to call home; and it speaks volumes that she recognizes the sacredness of a space and shares it with others. A true home/work/creative/spiritual space that she shares with so many. I loved all the synchronicity throughout the telling of her story. And how gracefully she took on the stewardship of such a sacred place. Enjoy!

Amazing!!! The house is beautiful, but I am more impressed with the lady. She transmits so much peace that is so contagious. I use her product, makes me happy to know that she’s the creator. I would definitely listen to her podcast if she creates one.

A masterpiece of a home wow

She is so positive and full of life. I will review this many times. I love her spirit!!!❤❤❤

Suzy: your positivity, unique blend of grit/tenacity/soft & flexible mind, and eye for beauty are inspirational! Thank you for sharing you!

This is such a beautiful and creative space. The homeowner’s personality is just as beautiful and creative. She and the home have such a calming energy.

Loved hearing her story. Authentic. Inspirational. Sustainable. Respectful. Spiritual. ❤

Just started watching & had to pause & comment that I absolutely laughed OutLoud - when you said you thought You'd "probably dated too many people on potential..." I just bet there are many of us here watching who can relate to that statement! Lol!! I know I can! Ok - now back to this incredible home - I am so excited for the tour to see what you have done to the place - I can tell just by the decor that I see in the opening pans of the space - like that beautiful - I think it was an Angel Sculpture in the kitchen - that I am going to enjoy your taste & aesthetic....

An indoor living tree is on my bucket list to manifest in my next home. Love your heart energy. It's why your home is so amazing.

The most beautiful home I have ever seen, she is so calming and seems like she would be welcoming to so many.

I needed to see this video! And I didn’t know that I did. I watch a lot of Homeworthy but this one might be the best you’ve ever done for all the right reasons. What you saw in the video is the real Suzy. I met her many years ago at the Dallas Market when my mother and I had a little shop and we sold Poo-Pourri. She was the real deal then and she still is so many years later. Her church house is amazing and inspirational, just as she is. Thanks so much for sharing this tour. Much ❤ Suzy!

Love that you have things that mean something to you, that you love, not because they are expensive, but that reflects who you are. Very individual, very unique. Love my life too, is what our home says about us & who we are. very beautiful.

What a beautiful and very lovely lady, she’s amazing ❤ I’m so happy for her that she became successful and can do what she likes !!! She has exquisite taste and her home is out of this world 🥰

Dear Suzy! Thank you for sharing the magic of your own and your beautiful home’s journey. 🙏🏻 Grateful for the huge amount of wisdom and inspiration. ❤ Please have your podcast! Your insight and charisma are amazing and very needed. 🤗 Big hugs!

What an incredible space - so cool, unique, and beautifully decorated! As a single woman I enjoyed this video particularly bc she shared a lot of stories and moments that she was proud of (eg living room rug) and I can totally relate to the feeling of pride she has. Love to see a successful business women owning her journey and making life more beautiful, no matter the effort it takes. Beautiful home and beautiful spirit!

Oh Susie, I have been dying to see your home ever since I first heard about it years ago. And I’m so happy to hear your stories and feel your enchanted views of life. 💓

Such a beautiful "marriage" between this church, and the woman living there. Love every bit of it. ❤

Her spirit and vibe are so on point. You can feel her humility and kindness.

I love her home but I love her more! Her story is so amazing!

Wow...I am soooooooo impressed by how she remodeled the church, into her home. It is simply STUNNING. What a BEAUTIFUL home. And she is such an Amazing woman.

Stunning! Suzy Batiz is awesome. I love that the plaques were kept. Just beautiful.

So great. And then woah at 30:11 was such a suprise story! As I've never heard anyone else deal with so called, paranormal activity in the same way that I have secretly/privately done so over the years! Very simply I say "Nope, I am the authority here, these are the rules and all will abide, period" and anything "ghosty" vanishes. SO happy to hear her deal with it in a straight forward, firm, quick and positive way as well !!! Very encouraging. ❤️

Beautiful home. I’m glad the church building was saved & respectfully so. ❤

This is probably one of the best renovations/ preservations that I have seen. I love how the space was elegantly transformed while still respecting the historical architecture. This woman is extremely fascinating and creative. She has so much wisdom to impart and I would definitely listen to her podcast!

I’m dying I love love love this idea and this gorgeous home. Too many churches are torn down and I’m so thrilled to see this renovation it’s gorgeous and what a wonderful idea for a fantastic person! God is good! ❤🦢💒🤍

This episode was inspiring! It made me remember my own desire to create a different kind of living space. Loved this one!❤

Beautiful story, opportunity, and transformation! Love when someone who is passionate about saving the old, and has the ability to do it, does it with love and enough expertise to employ artisans that know their craft. And lastly, love the incorporation of living, breathing things like live plants, work/play spaces, community offerings, and helping others who need lifting up ....... Can't think of a better place to do this than a refurbished old established church that has a new life as a home!

A spiritual, business and creative podcast is definitely something I would love to see you do!

Absolutely Beautiful! I completely agree with repurposing and adding your own touch it brings artistic value, and precious!

Amazing, i love this so much, i love it when a person can take a building that was once something totally different and turn it into their forever home.

Thank you so much, Ms. Batiz for showing your unique home. What a creative way to use the church. Love It! I felt tranquil and calm after watching this piece. Quite intrigued and inspired spiritually as well. Again, thank you. God Bless.

OMG I watched this video and thought how cool to live in a church and then I remembered that I live in an old house that was once a church, cape dutch style. On the first night, I experienced a spirit and had the very same conversation days later as she had with the spirit. At first, I was terrified but once I spoke to it I felt a sense of peace. It's never really bothered me again.

Wow phenomenal! This woman has so much kindness in her and what an extraordinary vision she has made a reality. Thank you so much for this incredible video

I totally agree with this lady. The negative energy comments were total hogwash. And yes, the place is blessed with prayers, and the place is full of positive energy. Love how she decorated and restored the place.

Dear Suzy Batiz, I recently had the opportunity to watch your transformation of Church Home, and I was truly inspired by your remarkable work. Your ability to turn a space into a warm and inviting home is truly commendable. The way you brought together elements of design, functionality, and creativity was truly captivating. Your attention to detail and innovative ideas were evident throughout the entire process. From the choice of colors to the selection of furniture and decor, each element seamlessly blended to create a harmonious and comfortable living environment. It was evident that you poured your heart and soul into this project. Your talent for creating spaces that feel both luxurious and welcoming is truly admirable. The way you transformed Church Home into a place that exudes beauty and tranquility is a testament to your exceptional vision and skill as a designer. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world. Your work has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on me and countless others who have had the pleasure of witnessing your transformations. Keep up the fantastic work, and may you continue to inspire others with your exceptional designs. With deep admiration and appreciation, Mehroz Karim

She has an amazing spirit that she displays in a blessed way. Her home is an amazing blessing that she endured. God has truly blessed her.

Love this HOME!❤Suzy has such a calming presence.... I'm so happy for the second chapter she has created for herself.

I don't typically like podcasts but I would love to listen to her.

Howdy, neighbor! It was so cool to see the building I and our other neighbors have watched deteriorate all these years come back to life. We got to watch the exterior restoration from our front porch, and now I’m finally getting a peek inside! Super cool! My kids always are always asking about your “castle” haha, now I can show them a little more about it!

OMG I SO ENJOYED THIS TOUR! THIS WOMEN IS FANTASTIC. I LOVE HER CHURCH HOME AND I LOVE HER POO-POURRI…DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

She did an amazing job at restoring and conserving the church. It is an absolutely gorgeous and welcoming home which is not easy to do given the size of the place. She is so creative, unique, kind, respectful, warm, fun, authentic, generous, positive and a well balanced human being. I think she deserves everything she has. I would love to get to know her and roller skate in her living room. 😊

I know exactly how you felt when you walked into your church. I live in a 1864 school house, we toured the house on a Saturday afternoon put an offer in the same day. I told my husband and realtor we had to offer with no conditions. They both thought I should have condition of sale of our home in town but I knew we couldn’t have any conditions. If I had 2 houses I would rent the one in town out if it didn’t sell. I just knew in my gut I was meant to live in this school house. The floor still have the marks where the desks were screwed down, children’s initials are still in the bricks on the outside.

What a fantastic home! The owner is pretty amazing too. Love her outlook on life.

Perfect architecture and so beautiful! Thank you!

I used her product in 1995 while in college. My homegirl said we had to use it so guys wouldn't smell us. lol! congrats on your success and to think I pass by her home to go to White Rock Lake. So inspirational!!!!! And you picked a great property.

This is my Absolute FAVORITE Homeworthy story/ home!!❤❤❤❤❤

OMG! This is the best tour yet, because of Suzy!! Seriously, if Suzy began a spiritual retreat, I am in! Amazing design and energy! Thank you for sharing. And for the positive vibes!

Stunning!! So beautifully done with the furnishings. A place to feel very comfortable in. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us.

I'm so inspired by what you have done. I'm a single 57 year old single women who has started a project and I love your points put in what feels good and what brings you joy take your time and fill the space. Thank you for sharring your amazing space and inspiring me to believe that yes I can

Suzy Batiz you are wonderful, I like what you did to the place, the respect to this sacred space and the history underneath. Love your principle to recycle, repurpose furniture, vintage, handmade. I ADMIRE YOU.

Your bedroom IS the most important room for the couple! Especially when you consider that it should be your resting place! You did a great Job! My husband always says “I feel rich when I come to bed” because it’s cozy and organized! Love what you are doing!

Love this home tour more than any other. It was beyond a home tour. It is so inspirational.

I have a great respect for this woman, divorce isn't easy! Change isn't easy sometimes you have to take the good with the bad and just make it work! Her home is absolutely beautiful

Her three rules hit me. We can’t deny the fact that we do sometimes feel the energy from the other realm but we have to convert our fear to a positive energy. I love how she transformed the church into her sanctuary. The interior design, art, and stories that come with it made this episode very engaging. I ordered some of her products as a support. I'm excited to get them. :)

Feeling loving and deserving.....Love it! She's a beautiful soul. What an incredible home! ✨💕✨

I love your outlook. You are a soul sister. Always wished to live in a church since I had a friend that lived in a tiny church. I do feel everyone needs a swing in their space. I would also find a place to have a slide. You are amazing 👻

I can very much feel the coziness of this church/home its just incredible what this lady did with this space and its beautiful!

It's wonderful to see someone bring an idea to fruition. I love her "feel good" thought process. I have mixed emotions about living in a church. After some thought, I've decided that it's the perfect place to feel close to Jesus/The Holy Spirit. I like this lovely lady. She is unpretentious and honest. The only thing I notice is the echo. The acoustics would be wonderful if a choir was singing in the kitchen 😁 This works beautifully for this creative lady. While it would not work for me, I admire what she has been able to do. I do not, however, enjoy the touches of Buddha/Buddism in what was formerly a Christian church. Just my opinion. No comments necessary.

I would have never thought to transform a Church into a home - this is absolutely stunning!!

Not only is the house extraordinary; she is too👍🏾

Such a talented woman. I so enjoyed watching and learning something’s I did not know. ❤Thank you for sharing this kind sweet person with a great vision. ♥️👍🏼🌹🙏🏼

Incredible woman! This just made me love her product even more.

Thank you for opening up your home to the world.

This is the most fascinating home tour I have ever watched! Everything about it is inspiring and beautiful!

Suzy is an inspiration!! ❤ Love this episode

I love her personality, I love her home.

WOW! I keep seeing some churches that are for sale in my area. I'm inspired to consider them as a potential home. She really did well with her home!

This woman really knows her Craft. She is not playing. Respect is given. Blessed

That's a pretty amazing restoration. I wonder how much her heating and cooling bills are.

This woman is amazingly creative. The fact that every "spiritualist" whom she consulted commented something about "negative energy" by certain items shows that whatever she personally experienced when she first walked in solidified her intent to live in this church. I really admire her tenacity to not only live life on her term, but to thrive!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this! What an inspiration you are Suzy. You are lifted up as you lift others and create from your heart. Thank you for sharing. Much love and peace. PS - wish I would have know you when I was going through my divorce!

Thank you for introducing me to Ms. Batiz!!! I loved her story and I am inspired by her words of wisdom.

Let GOD come into your life like a Wrecking Ball via a Swing! Absolutely love your home! 🥰 BTW all of my co-works at my old job loved using the ladies' room after me because I always used your product even when #2 wasn't necessary. Cured my Public Bathroom Anxiety! 🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽

I watch this video during a bad day (depression) and it wasn't the home that lifted me but her! Both are amazing. Not sure if you guys realized it but I know this video touch some lives. Thank you for sharing your home and life. Definitely Homeworthy !

Wow! This was amazing! I love what you did with this space and how you've transformed with it. Well done, and all the very best with your future endeavors ❤

What a Blessing and such an inspiration you are! Your outlook and disposition on life! Amazing! Thank you so very much for sharing! This hit my feed at the exact time it was needed! I felt a rejuvenation while watching! It makes me want to run after my dreams with such a peaceful urgency! Watching reinforced my belief that dreams do come true. We just have to believe! Thank you again and all the Blessings to you!!! 💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰 *I was wondering while watching what your birthday was. At the end you reveal you are a Cancer in astrology! I knew there was a reason why I was drawn to so much of what you were saying! I, too, am a Cancer in astrology! I am also a hippie, bohemian, eclectic mind and spirit! I cannot tell you what watching this has done for me. I’ve been grieving a great loss for the past almost 5 years. Struggling with who I am in this new setting. I now feel as if figuring that out can be an uplifting journey and not the weighty burden it has been. I feel like it’s now ok for me to allow the newly arranged me to step out into the world and live the life I was always intended to live! With zest and zeel and a beauty that is rained on with sunshine, love and happiness! I can still be me but more of the me I was born to be! Thank you again! Blessings💜.

Stunningly Beautiful ❤️

I feel like if somebody were to go into my brain and create a house for me, this would be it!!! EVERYTHING about it feels so perfect!! She definitely is a soul sister of mine 🥰❤

The best and the most meaningful hour tour I’ve seen. A woman I can admire. I love how she has rules for the ghosts. Just a little thing: The Tibetan antique in the meditation room needs to have a custom nook or niche, it looks minuscule next to the massive windows. I want to see her bathroom if it’s filled with poo-pouri
