Re: It's Starting! Picking out Colors, etc.

Sounds wonderful Sherri!

Don't let anyone give you a hard time about committees... I would expect a long distance, digital Pastor/wife to be very hands-on when it comes to their personal color preference for carpets etc.

The new addition is 28,000 square feet, 8,000 of that being foyer/restrooms. I only know those figures because I've heard Eddie say them - they really mean nothing to me. I have to go out there and actually look at the slab to see it in my mind. It does look big! The red iron comes in on Friday, and should start going up on Monday of next week. It will really look different from the road then!!

Well..........they're saying we can move in by Easter, but it seems like that would be pushing it. At least then we won't have to have all five services on Sunday!!!! Can't wait for that.

Re: It's Starting! Picking out Colors, etc.

Over 30 years ago when I was taking a college decorating course we were told when decorating for where the public is to use nature's colors, as they are more soothing. Back then they suggested the pastels, mostly blues, greens, etc.

They said look outside at nature and see what colors you see, those are the ones God made for us and is what sooths us.

Black is a great accent color, but can be depressing IF used to much.

But as Tamor says you have done a great job before and wouldn't expect anything different.

I remember going to my husbands home church that had been decorated in the then going style, with the oranges, greens, etc. Most churches don't have the money to change with the trends and needless to say it was out of style for a long time and made it look "dated".

I think that is one of the biggest challenges not to follow trends that will look outdated when the trend changes.

For ME, I like the lighter color for walls, don't care how dark you go for the floors. And as PO said, I think your floor color is wise for long term wear.

Thanks, Esther. I remember FPC in Jackson, MS had orange and green carpet. Wow! It was almost like a giant pumpkin. But I'm sure at the time, it was considered amazing. I bet the new church they built wasn't orange and green!! LOL

Re: It's Starting! Picking out Colors, etc.

From what I've seen from a recent visit, Sherri's decorating tastes are "right on". I know the new phase will look great as well. Very clean, neat, and classy! When it comes to colors even God can't please everyone, that's the reason He makes rainbows.
