Interior and Furnishings

Feast your eyes on the latest interior sketch! This gives a good example of the visual relationship between the Crucifix, Reredos, Altar and Ambo. It also shows some things we're looking at in terms of decoration: colors on the ceiling over the nave and sanctuary, the sanctuary walls, and if you look very closely stenciling at the top of the walls. Any suggestions for text for that stencilling? How about my favorite St. Kateri quote: "The Cross was the glory of my life and of my death and I wish you to make it yours." And what do you think about these colors? The one we're finding especially difficult is the sanctuary wall color.

Also note that this drawing shows the most recent revisions as we near construction. The only exception is the columns in the foreground which will not have that faux-stone cladding. Perhaps we could do something cool with paint there.

Another color study. The building committee wasn't crazy about this sanctuary color either, and didn't care for the stenciling on the nave walls. Agree?

Here are some furnishing ideas... some you've seen, some hot off the presses.

This week I'm on a road trip visiting some salvage houses. I'll take some photos of anything promising I can find. Perhaps some great deals will come our way!
