Extreme Makeover: Window Edition

Do you have a window in your worship center or home that is dull and boring? Do you have windows that let in too much light and you need a way to dull the light without blinds or curtains? Then have I got an idea for you! With about $30 in window paint, some imagination and a little time you can have your own fake stained glass window.

We had some windows in the youth center that were letting in too much light. I figured stained glass would look nice. So we went to the store and got some paint. My wonderfully amazing and talented wife did the real work. Lynnette spent about two days transfering Van Gogh's "Starry Night" to our Youth Center windows. The look is amazing. I highly recomend you try this in your home, office or anywhere else you get inspired.

Check out the picks below. And you can see the entire renovation in the last post.

Youth Center Renovation

Here's what we've been up to the last couple weeks. We have had some amazing people helping us. It's been a blast. And it's turned out pretty nice.

"I'm Sailing, I'm Sailing!!!"

After a long day at the church working on the renovation of the youth center, Dave and I got invited to go sailing with a great couple from our church (Shawn and Jennifer Seely). Shawn and Jennifer have 3 teens in the youth group and both help out at youth. We had a blast with them as we sailed. It was a 1st for Dave and I both, neither of us had sailed before. It was beautiful, we sailed until the sun went down, great way to end your day!

Dave even got to sail the boat...that is what he's doing in this picture:)




How beautiful is that!

"The Renovation Starts... Right Now!!"

This past week we started the renovation on the youth center. The youth center is located in the "old side" of the church (the old sanctuary to be exact). This has been the meeting place for both the children and youth services. The children are getting a new meeting spot in the downstairs area of the new building, work on the painting and construction of that starts next week. We have been busy all week painting, building and getting rid of the "old stuff". We are giving it a fresh new look for the fall. It's been heaps of work and there is still more to come. The youth center will now be the meeting place for the youth and a venue service on Sundays.
