Love this kitchen!














This picture is kind of dark, but it is so fun to work in.



















Got this sink on Ebay for the price of a salad bowl..which it looks like. :)

Over the last year and half, Lesh, my dad and several others remodeled the parsonage. It was a 30+ year old home that had probably never been updated. The previous owners were elderly and were not able to maintain the property, leading to them selling it. In fact, the home had been vacant for quite some time. When we first visited the property, we LOVED the land, but the home which was positioned on the back right corner of the property, was badly outdated on the exterior, and in need of a new roof, siding, gutters, and garage doors (never had any) It was downright scary on the inside. Won't tell you all the little things we found on the inside. Anyway, after much sweat, a little blood, and some tears too, it is 90% complete. To say it has been transformed is an understatement. Because of mold, we had to strip it down to the studs; for function, we moved and removed a few walls. I will post exterior photos after we do a little more work, but here are a two interior photos. We still have doors to paint, pictures to hang and decorating to do, but it feels like home. I cannot tell you how grateful we are to finally be in it. We are thankful that God allowed our church to have the resources to purchase it. That was a miracle in itself, and we are a few months away from being able to worship in our new church being built on the property! That is so exciting for our church.
