There's No Chapel In The World Like This One In Montana

Enchanted Living was once the St. Matthew’s Episcopalian Church. The building is over 100 years old, one of the oldest in town. One afternoon Myrna and Laura, the co-owners, noticed furniture being moved out of the church. A realtor’s sign went up soon after. Myrna and Laura, who also own a successful fabric store and gift shop called The Enchanted Room, love home decor and wanted to bring some sophisticated home furnishings to the rural town of Glendive. So they bought the old church and got to work.

Once the church building had been purchased, the ladies restored it with the help of Laura’s husband. They cleaned and repaired the sanctuary’s original tin ceiling, sanded and painted the exterior, and hauled all the junk out of the basement. The entire process took two years, but in 2013, the store opened for business.

Enchanted Living’s interior is beautiful. The showroom looks like something you’d see in a much bigger city.

In addition to fine furniture, you’ll also find an extensive culinary collection.

Myrna and Laura still own The Enchanted Room, which they operate out of an old Victorian house. But this chapel turned furniture showroom is definitely their most exciting venture.
