It has been decided that the colour scheme for the carpets etc will be burgundy. This is the new version of the old pink scheme that many of you may have seen. However, the colours are much much darker (yes, that was two muches) than the old scheme. It was agreed by everybody in attendance, at the meeting where this decision was made, that this was the best colour choice. Interestingly, the chapel will be carpeted with carpet tiles rather than traditional carpet runs. This will allow us to rip and replace areas where the carpet has been stainend or otherwise damaged. Thew Newcastle Stake Centre has recently been re-carpeted with carpet tiles which you will be able to see at Stake Conference etc.
We have decided to kit the building with whiteboards instead of blackboards. This will mean that we will ahve to be extra careful that our children dont deface the walls with the whitebaord markers ;-)
We have also decided not to have any hanging lights in the chapel area. The only lights on the chapel ceiling will be recessed spotlights. This will enable the chapel area to be used for more activities, including soft ball games for the youth.
We will have the following two pictures hanging on the walls of the foyer area -
- The 2nd Coming picture with the Saviour in white coming through the clouds
- The picture of the Saviour stood at the door with no handle
Also, the brick used for the chapel will be a local red brick and the steeple will be charcoal grey.
Finally, we are still hoping for a completion date of April 2009.
Exciting times!
