Parsonage Tour Part 1- Downstairs


Let's start at the front door. A spiral staircase goes up from the entry way.   I set our creche up for the Christmas season on this built in under the stairs.. 

It's hard to get a picture of the stairs, but this is what it looks like from the top.

Our living room.  Christmas was a motivation to get unpacked.  I couldn't imagine trying to get out decorations when the rest of my life was still in boxes.  We hung curtains, photos, etc., right after Thanksgiving.

Another view of the living room.  Made the swags myself- I have never been a drapery type of girl.  Notice the handsome pastor on the couch.

This is the dining room.  The good folks from Hampton Baptist did a lot of work in here for us, including putting up the white bead board.  It's very homey.

More dining room.  The built in cabinet was redone for us also.  It's a great place to store the Fiesta Ware. 

Welcome to the kitchen.  This is the first time in our married life that we have not had an eat in kitchen.  I have another shot that I wanted to include, but in all honesty, it keeps loading out of order, and I haven't yet figured out how to fix that.  I have learned quite a lot just in the process of getting these up, so this is a problem for another day.
