Saving a Church, Creating a Home Welcome to the 78th Metamorphosis Monday!

Metamorphosis Monday:

Recently, I received an email showing an interesting metamorphosis and the following wording/pics:

"A couple purchased an old church in Kyloe, Northumberland. They invested a lot of money on the interior but the exterior remained almost completely intact. They did more of a restoration rather than a renovation, which would have cost them 3 times less.

Had they not purchased the old church who knows what would have happened to it as it was in very bad shape. The couple however adapted very well to the interior while leaving the outside with the minimum appearance of a house."
















I just realized...this bedroom is actually visible from the dining room above. Looks like you can pull the drapes for privacy.

















No sleeping late in this bedroom!



Does that show, Extreme Homes, still air on HGTV? If so, I wonder if this home has been featured on there? I think they did a lovely job of preserving this wonderful church. Personally, I love cozy, smaller rooms, but if you like big, open spaces, this would certainly work. What do you think? Could you live in a church?
