I had no idea you lived in a converted church. It's so beautiful and has a lot of character. </p> <p>Ele, I live very close to a historic cemetery. It's very well maintained, and just beautiful all around. I really like walking there when the weather warms up (plus it has lots of shade, which I appreciate ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134738 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:52:13 +0000 marianne 134738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Julie, what a lovely and unique place to live - maybe it's not as unique in your neck of the woods, but incredibly atmospheric. The building is beautiful, when was it built? I should add I haven't seen many houses as suitable for their habitant's persona as yours, especially from the outside! Thank you so much for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134728 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:22:23 +0000 Dawn 134728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, your house is amazing Julie! I love the idea of living somewhere with such beautiful architecture and history. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134726 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:18:07 +0000 Beth 134726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, that's just awesome! It really is. The setting, the old stone, the cool architecture...gorgeous!</p> <p>Thanks for the pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134721 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:05:03 +0000 Anonymous 134721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely building -- how you must enjoy those stained glass windows. I imagine it's beautiful when the sunlight casts the colors in the glass around your living space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134703 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:27:56 +0000 shana 134703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, when you mentioned living in an old church, I didn't get that it was REALLY an old church. Do you ever have people who stop by thinking that it's still a place of worship? Thanks for sharing, Julie - it must be a fascinating place to live.</p> <p>When I used to live in Colorado, there was a old church that had been renovated into a dance/night club called "The Church". The DJ's were situated up above where a choir might be and the altar was a bar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134609 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:50:02 +0000 Queen Mum 134609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>absolutely gorgeous! thanks for sharing with us. You had commented a while ago about living in an old church and I had always wondered about that. How beautiful it would be to have stained glass windows in every room of the house ! I'll bet they don't show the dirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134603 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:39:49 +0000 Vani 134603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful house Julie! I can't seem to stop looking at the picture, so peaceful and calming somehow. I have a bit of a thing for stained glass so I'm a little envious of the gorgeous glass you have inside. Thanks for letting us look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134570 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:25:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 134570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thanks everyone, sometimes I take for granted how unusual my home is, so it was lovely to read your comments.</p> <p>Anne, the church was divided into two properties and the church hall (unseen) was split into three by a developer in the eighties. </p> <p>Ele, the church formed part of the town poorhouse, so there is no cemetery but like you I'm not spooked by the thought of it.</p> <p>San,we bought the property as though buying a semi detached house, the building is not listed so we are free to decorate as we like.</p> <p>Angie, one adoring big hug right back at you.</p> <p>I would let the cat know of your compliments but like all cats she has a rather large ego already ;0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134546 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:30:41 +0000 Misia 134546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just beautiful, I LOVE all that stone and landscaping is so nice, you lucky girl you!!! Summer must be even better looking, kind of reminds me of Poland, little heavy heart here:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134545 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:29:45 +0000 Anonymous 134545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a surprice that you live in a church. Are you free to decorate as you like? Did you buy your part as if it is a condo?<br /> I love this idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134537 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:42:50 +0000 yublocka 134537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - its just gorgeous!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134497 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:04:00 +0000 taylor 134497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful place to live!!!

Gorgeous! I'm not sure I would be confortable with a ghost... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134360 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:03:33 +0000 Boof 134360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, I don't think you're crazy regarding the cemetery thing. My Grandfather used to take all of the grandkids to play in the cemetery when we were little. He'd show us where various family members were buried, etc. There was a great stone wall to walk on. We'd hide behind big monuments. There was a giant monument with very imposing angels all around it. It was always my favorite. I never felt afraid in the least.<br /> Maybe I'm insane, too. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134359 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:58:00 +0000 Ele 134359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, I love your home! I'm also a fan of unusual living spaces, and conversions especially. They satisfy my constant internal struggle, of wanting somewhere modern and clean that also has lots of history and character :)</p> <p>I can't see from the pic, but do you have a cemetery? I've always wanted to live near one, which I'm well aware makes me seem insane. I can't help it, they're so peaceful and comforting to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134321 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:20:46 +0000 Boof 134321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful, unique home! Love the kitty, too. Sarah Jane looks like a really fun next-door neighbor! :o)</p> <p>Having a baby on the go and all of those steps must make for an interesting time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134319 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:04:57 +0000 marianna 134319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fascinating and different! Looks beautiful! Now I want to see how you've decorated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134312 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:41:00 +0000 anne 134312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-house#post-134311 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:38:23 +0000 anne 134311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How intersting Julie and thanks!
