OK guys and gals, I need your help! While at the fishing cabin in October and thinking about my impending retirement, I decided that rather than getting snowed-in, in the middle of nowhere, I would look for a place in town instead. Well I found this turn of the century church that I’m going to remodel. My first thought on seeing the space was “Great Hall in a Scottish Castle”. I’m going to put the bath and open kitchen in the 20’x20’ alter area and the sleeping area in the choir loft, as for the 30’x70’ main floor that’s where I need help. I want that area to have the feel of a great hall. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
