Here are some photos from our set change last week (click to enlarge). I am very pleased with the results. Our team did an amazing job (there were lots, even though you only see a few in the pictures).
For those of you interested in all the technical stuff, we found the chandeliers at a yard sale and Salvation Army. Two separate chandeliers, matched perfectly. We painted them gold. Total cost? Seven dollars. The art frames were found at a second hand store and those were painted gold with brush strokes of black to antique them. The art for the frames was printed on a high gloss banner paper that we painted over with Mod Podge to look like a painting. And the fabric was a steal at five dollars a yard. The entire set was achieved for less than $500. How’s that for creativity?
We played theme music as people walked in. I heard responses such as, “Wow,” “Breathtaking,” and “Powerful.” It made my day.

Nice pics, it does capture to a degree the incredible outcome of the creativity and hard work! Awesome job! It was a great addition to the irresistible environment. I believe it enhanced our ability to encourage everyone to live heroic lives for the sake of Christ. It made the service rock!
