Sinner's Pew

 

 

When our ward put in new church pews, we received one of the old ones that was in pretty good shape. We put it in our kitchen. A first, it was nice to have a storage area underneath the the pew along with extra seating we despartley needed in our kitchen. After three months of the pew being used for everything except seating and correct storage, I wanted it out of the kitchen. I'd rather have empty space than a junky pew. We moved it into the livingroom in the dead space by the piano. We draped my great-grandmother's quilt over the bench to give it character. Maybe if it looks nice, we won't feel so compelled to junk it up. This pew was designed for sinners, not junk. We want to keep it that way!
