Convert It II - Religious Conversion Winner Announced
Enthusiasts of the back roads are surprised to discover churches at the loneliest of crossroads,
seemingly in the middle of nowhere. They soon realize, however, that the picturesque little church
may be all that remains of a once thriving community.
Many of the churches that have closed have been sold off and converted to other uses.
They now serve as community centres, concert halls, town halls, even private homes.
Some have fallen into decay, a sign of a no longer viable community.
Taken as a whole, these churches -- and former churches -- represent an important
part of our architectural heritage, and an integral part of our physical landscape.

You have just started your own business as a property developer, with two successful renovations under your belt,

The Decor
During the beginning stages of renovating the property you've come to love the old church and the area where it's located...
the quiet solitude and quaint charm. You're now taking the leap and plan to purchase the property after the renovations are complete.
In keeping with the quaint charm of an old church, your decor should reflect that of a country home.
