Not the Intended Purpose

Do you know what I love? Besides you? I love buildings that were built for one purpose but get turned into homes. Like this sweet little school house in the Catskills...

Or this ultra cool silo house in Utah...

But my all time fav are churches that have been repuropsed into amazing houses. I am constantly drawn to old churches. My imagination starts to run wild with living rooms glowing with a stained-glass window. A kitchen with an altar fashioned into an island. Don't you love this church in London...



One day my dream will come true. Not sure if I want that to happen in Parma:)

hahaha! We looked at the old grange hall when it was for sale in Nyssa. I LOVED it.....10,000 square feet of old wooden floors, a stage, and original bathroom accessories from the 1940's. But...it was also full of pigeons and spiders and a creepy basement that I'm pretty sure had some dead stuff in it.

I share your love for re-making spaces though! Maybe we can go in on a church together one day :)
