Who hasn’t dreamed of living in an old, converted firehouse? Aaron and Heather took on just such a massive building in St. Louis (complete with a fire pole in their dining room) and are slowly working on the renovation, room by room. First up is their parking bay, formerly for the trucks and gear…are you ready?

Wow. The huge open space is now used for their photography business, and is the perfect blank slate for photo shoots and meeting clients. (And look how their Great Dane, Mojo, blends right in.) It’s especially impressive given that Aaron and Heather have done (and continue to do) most of the work themselves. I can’t wait to see what they do with the rest of the building!

Many thanks to Aaron and Heather for sharing!
