The Chapel
I am still working on the old chapel at work. When I took the job, it was a bare, cold, specifically Catholic space. There was holy water, a St. Joseph Bible, an altar, bright lights, and not much else.
On my limited budget and dearth of creativity, I have added curtains that I made with a simple pocket seam on lengths of shear fabric. I 'borrowed' plants and fountains from other areas of the building, and dragged in some soft seating. I put out different translations of the Bible, and a small library of inspirational readings. When I get a few minutes, I will disassemble the altar and turn it into plant stands. A new sign has been ordered and it will be called a reflection room once it's done. It's not finished yet, but it's in progress!

Love that it is not so sterile. :) I want an altar for furniture in my house...but not too tall. I am going to start looking after we move from Tokyo. :)
