Kitchen in a Converted church

02.26.2010 · Posted in Baths, Kitchens

It seems like only yesterday that I was fantasizing about moving into a the Mission Church nearby, and converting it to my needs. So I was charmed to see this kitchen, created by Priscilla Glover and Ivan Spaller of Urban Nature Inc.

Church Kitchen

in, of all things, a Mission Church in Austin, Texas, converted into what can only be called a castle:

Church become Castle

The kitchen above is clearly tucked into one of the more modest areas, but there is a modicum of high ceilinged grandeur to be found:

A grand dining room

It does make me feel like I should be on my best behavior, just in case someone “upstairs” is watching. Assuming that someone cares about table manners, that is.

Someone downstairs is watching here ...

Ready to wash away a few sins?

Bath- complete with hassock for prayer

How beautiful are the feet...

There are  more pictures of this extraordinary dwelling at Desire to Inspire. Unfortunately, I understand it has already been sold – so I’m going to have to keep looking.

  1. Hi Adrienne – isn’t it lovely? If you find an Mission to move into, I’ll volunteer to come and help!

  2. Sarah! I think that is my dream home!

    I have been visiting a lot of the missions around San Antonio since I moved here, and I have become so inspired by the high ceilings, arched windows, stonework — but I have to say that master bath is perfect!

  3. It’s great design in a fantastic building, isn’t it?

  4. LOVE these pictures!!!
