Painting Days 1 & 2
Painting has begun in the worship center and preschool areas. Here are some of the pictures from the worship center:
Looking at the side wall of the entryway (Glenhurst Doors). The light tan wall is painted, the others are original color.
The entryway received three different colors, plus the ceiling. This is the same scheme that will be used in the hallways and Grace.
The view from the loft at the North stairwell. The dark tan wall is painted, the lighter wall has not received paint yet. There are two tans used in the loft. The side walls of the loft receive the darker tan, and the back wall will be the lightest.
This is the Cry Room before anything was done.
There are three different blues in the Cry Room. Here you see two of them as painting begins.
A look at the door area with all three blues on the wall.
The finished (but not yet arranged) Cry Room. There will be new curtains coming.
This is the view of the loft from the chancel (everything inside the communion rail) area.
There are five shades of blue in the worship center. This is the middle of the five.
Again, the middle blue of five shades. It's hard to tell, but the section of wall immediately left of the organ (with the A/C unit on the wall) has received the lightest tan color. The other sections of that back wall will all have this color.
Work continues for the rest of the week. The paint job is scheduled to be finished by this weekend.

Hey – as of writing this (Wed @ 6:30pm) , there is now paint on the chancel walls and the balcony walls are covered (don’t know if all coats of paint are on yet or not.) and it looks great!!! Will take some getting used to, but I think I really like the colors in the sanctuary and balcony!!!
Really hoping the curtains and other decorations in the crying room spruce it up a bit. Right now (admittedly unfinished) it brings to mine a police interrogation room … or something similarly stale. Maybe I was thinking there would be more variance in color there since it is used for children. Could be just me, too. I’ll wait and see what it’s like when it’s finished…
Really liking the rest of it, though!

Gotta say I agree with you , Eric. I am wondering what we could do to make it a happier, joyful place. Right now it feels very sad to me.

I want to clarify that my comment was about the crying room.

Shouldn’t a cry room be sad? Just saying…
There were some posters up on the wall and curtains that we took down for painting. We’re unclear who “owns” the room and decides what goes back in there. It may be a discussion for a future Renovation Team meeting. It’s definitely not “complete” with just the paint job.

Paint is funny…I really love the Cry Room colors.
I do feel joyful when I look at them. Looking forward to decorating it with kid-friendly stuff, too.

I love the shades of blue behind the altar! They highlight the cross and bring out the blues in the stained glass.
