My sister Luci and I have the tremendous good fortune of living in a turn-of-the-century school building. Back in the early 1990s, the local school district was going to tear down all the neighborhood schools, but chose instead to sell them to individuals or businesses. Thank god, 'cause they're on the National Register of Historic Places, for pete's sake. Over the years, we've made some changes here and there. Most all the remodeling and decorating has been done with recycled, reused, thrift store, and estate sale treasures. Luci and I live and work here, making art and roller skating from room to room. Hope you like the pics!

I love the house! Its so open and beautiful.
1Wow! I love the expansive spaces! It feels like a very grand converted schoolhouse.
2There is a house near my parents house that is also an old school house. I don't think it's that old though. It's still really cool, I went to the school for a year and I remember it was a big deal when the old school was moved down the road. We all watched it go.
3They probably have the best parties.
