The building was originally a simple but elegant and functional Swedish Evangelical Congregational Church, built in 1894. An addition was added to the church at the back corner in the 1950’s. The church was later sold and converted to a residence by a local architect in the 1980’s. During the conversion, the rear addition to the structure was transformed into a master bedroom, and the lower level of the church was re-purposed as additional bedrooms and living space.

A closeup of the banquette shows its breakfasting potential. This is one of my favorite transformations. This small room between the living room and kitchen just cried out to be a cozy, sun-filled breakfast nook. So that’s just what we did with it. I don’t know about you, but we’d eat our granola here any day. We brought in a wooden pedestal table, a vintage deacon’s bench and two white Parson’s chairs to outfit the corner banquette-style. Colorful impressionist art hangs above the breakfast area and a transitional linen armchair awaits in the foreground for some fireside reading.

This oversized mudroom leads directly to the custom built stairs leading to the second floor. It features six enclosed lockers for storage and has additional open storage on both the top and bottom. This room was completed using an area rug to add texture. The adjacent wall features a custom refinished church pew with a bright vivid pop of color to break up the neutrals. Above the seating is a large gallery wall perfect for showcasing all of those family portraits.
