WOW! PRE-VATICAN II LITURGICAL ART AND SENSIBILITIES FOR CHURCHES AND CHAPELS MAKING A SPLENDID COMEBACK!

 I have to say, that the before look isn’t that bad, especially for a high school chapel, but the after knocks our socks off, especially for a high school chapel!

BEFORE:


AFTER:

Oddly, I am torn between the two, there is something visually compelling about the before

Before not bad.

After stenciling is a bit much. I do like the fixtures, however.

Wow. I'm OK with the before, but the after added five years to my life. I think the kids will remember that beauty and return to that mental image as they go through life.
