A New Home For A New Life

Once upon a time, in New Orleans, a couple was made very happy by a real estate agent. The happy couple had been looking for a building to buy to turn into their home and came across this white three story, with additional basement and attic, building with gorgeous stain glass windows of flowers and nature scenes and wrap around porches for all three levels. The porches are where the stain glass windows were while the inner windows were plain large windows. The couple fell inlove with it and bought it then and there. While signing the paperwork, the bride noticed a little detail on the building's title. Now it might not have been noticeable that the building had a name as this was New Orleans but she saw the word "Church" and looked again. "The Church Of Natural Life" just didn't sound like a name that someone would give a building even here in the south. She asked the real estate agent about it and they were told that it used to be a Wiccan worship hall and housing which is why all of the bedrooms had their own built in bathrooms and walk-in closets. There were five bedrooms in total in the third floor while the second floor had an open floor plan with a huge kitchen and space for a library, a living room, and a dining room. The couple still wanted the building so they shrugged it off and asked what happened to the coven that lived there. "Oh nothing bad, I assure you. The coven, as you put it, died of old age. They were a group of widows who had been friends since childhood and had always fancied themselves magical so when their husbands died they all bought a piece of land together and built this building. They died off one by one of old age peacefully in their sleep. They left the building and land to the only child born to any of them and that person lives in New York City and doesn't want the place so, he gave me the go ahead to sell it. It is in pristine and working condition." "I can see that last comment is true. I do love this place. I think that the first floor would be a great studio for art or we can turn one of the bedrooms into an art studio and turn the whole first floor into a library with a new fireplace and some nice books and lamps. Oh this will be fun. Honey, we can use the first floor for our wedding then start on renovations to make this place our home. We definitely need to put in an elevator on one side of the house and a freight elevator on the other side to make life easier. I also want to add some solar panels and other alternative power and heating sources. I also want to replace that electric bullshit stove with a huge gas one with multiple burners and ovens to it and a brick pizza oven that is wood burning. Oh this is going to be so fun. I also want to change out the tubs and turn the basement into an indoor pool and hot tub. What do you think Elijah, dearest?" "What ever you want my dearest Pheobe. You can have whatever your heart desires and you know I will give it to you and soon as you ask. I would, however, like to have the tub you want separate from the shower with a way to always have hot water and a good dishwasher machine. This place will be perfect for us. One room for your creative work and one for me to use for my job office. Use those walk in closets for files and supplies." "Perfect!" The couple smiled and finished all of the paperwork for them to get the house. For the next two months they fixed up and changed the building to be exactly what they wanted but didn't want to do anything to the first floor until after the wedding.
