Putting The Bar In The Chapel

[@belledobson2007]

I’m so happy you are putting the coffee machine in the bar where everyone can see it. It’s the best idea ever.

[@johniwan1]

Just a note from someone who worked with adhesives. It looked like there was silver Duct Tape on some of the oak bar parts you moved. You should remove the tape as soon as possible. With prolonged contact, the adhesive will attack and destroy the wood finish to the point where it will be hard to remove the residue and discolor the wood when you do. All I'm saying is you will save refinishing if you remove it sooner rather than later. Other than that it all looks great!

[@luannski6895]

I noticed that too and was about to say the same!

[@tdiscbetween]

[@karenwilkinson5923]

Those glass panels, backlit, would be very impressive as backing to proposed shelving for bar.

Love the idea to move the gorgeous coffee machine into the bar, I can picture it looking spectacular and being used more often there! I also love the stained glass panels and think they would look amazing repurposed as lighting. I can picture them placed horizontally high up along the walls, hung from the ceiling behind the bar or even hung vertically on the walls …the possibilities are endless really! 😂 Please Billy do not get rid of them yet, I know how creative your mind is and as the bar begins to take shape I am sure you will have some ingenious inspiration that will see them used with creativity! 😉

I love those stain glass windows, would be fantastic to see them incorporated into the room again. They’re sadly misused currently with uneven lighting, with decent lighting behind them on a wall they’d be a huge feature - not specifically religious but hinting at the original use of the room. Combined with the warm glow of the bar and the coffee machine it would be glorious ambiance to drink in 😍

[@siameseire]

Yay, that Gloriously beautiful coffee machine work of art will be Perfect in the bar. Many of us thought that was where it would be in its full glory but of course we also knew that it would be beautiful wherever it ended up. It is so Stunning!!

A chapel (large enough for weddings), a kitchen (large enough for catering), a huge dining area, a bar with custom bespoke coffee urn....missing the grand ballroom for dancing, gorgeous grounds for weddings pics & parking for 100. Could a wedding venue be in the Convents future?

[@patrickj.otoole1563]

Being a RC, I believe that this room, was a chapel. After the reforms of Vatican II, many sisters left the orders. Modern liturgy and a smaller community, called for a smaller space for the liturgy and daily prayers of the nuns. Added the colored glass panels in that arrangement, makes me think it didn't become a common space until it became a retirement convent for the older nuns. Having access to medical care close by. Great work and kudos for restoring this amazing building.

[@67webstar]

Great to see Steve again hope he’s well, used to love his little trip into the KZbin world with his easy little projects

[@kerrybyers257]

A bar right off the Chapel! Brilliant! Fewer steps to the confessional.. 😂

[@jcwswe2813]

Those frosted glass panes could be used for walls for booths in the bar maybe :)

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

The bank furniture looked heavy! Kudos to Simon, Yanis, Steve, and Dad for moving it all! The stained glass is beautiful, Billy, even if it isn’t ancient. I hope you can incorporate it some way in the library, dining room, or bar area. Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻

[@CherylSimser]

I think the stained glass is beautiful also and I also thought it would be stunning incorporated with the bar scenery. Window coverings maybe instead of all curtains or even a cubby for things you don't want seen. Lights behind them would be another idea for dim lighting.

[@auauwoof3016]

Yessss! The coffee machine is going to look perfect in the bar. Please, KEEP those glass pannels!

[@Susan-o2u]

The stained glass doors would look spectacular if placed horizontal and backlit behind the bar with liquor and glassware placed on glass shelves in front of it. Love your ideas and learning techniques. Great work!

[@mccb5762]

I wondered if the stained glass panels could be used behind the bar and backlit and then have shelves to hold the bottles in front. Great work guys and what a beautiful building.

[@JaxonsDd007]

I thought they would make a beautiful accordion door between the old chapel and the new bar.. so the bar could be used and keep folks out of the chapel when you want to. Personally I think Michael could come up with a wonderful idea for them as well. I love them they remind me of my childhood. They also would make part of an amazing green house but weather would be really harsh on them.😊

[@debby8428]

Yanis is adorable! He always makes me smile!

[@michaelrutledge3750]

I think you should take the stained glass doors and make two sets of room divider screens for future use when it is a hotel or event space. Dividers can be useful for events to make large rooms smaller. You have the huge ceilings, so they could be used anywhere needed.

[@lorigrumet7045]

The room you are referring to as the bar was originally the nuns private chapel where they would go to pray or participate in the Mass without being on display to the public. This was a very common space in a cloister, referred to as the Choir. You can still see a choir in the convents of cloistered nuns today (Carmelites, Poor Clares, Benedictines, etc). The main part of the chapel would have been for the public and the hospital patients and the side chapel was off limits to anyone outside the community. Just so you will know. Definitely not a TV room for the nuns.

If you have a plain wall, you could hang the stain glass panels with a backlight, instant art. They would look nice upstairs in the library if you use rich red or green for the inside of the cabinets

[@helenf9650]

Yes, I imagine them backlit on the wall behind the bar.

[@KFolmer14]

You should use stain glass and turn them into doors to separate the chapel and the room you’re going to turn into the bar. That would look great.

[@tammiewilson5185]

Nice suggestion 😊

[@09conrado]

Please never get rid of those stained glass doors, and please don't sell them off, they're valuable and beautiful, plus it could be a nice challenge to try and repurpose them somewhere in the building.

[@sr.marycatharineperry547]

I'm wondering how you know they are valuable. They don't go with the rest of the building. Classic 70's-80s.

[@09conrado]

@sr.marycatherineperry547 yes, typically 70s-80s. But it would cost a lot to have these made now. They're very nice, aren't they? Now if they'd be from the 1700s, that would be quite different thing, but I don't know of many examples of stained glass from that period. Glass used to be more functional in those days I suppose.

[@marshathomas2956]

Keep the stained glass with the bank! It would look gorgeous!!!!!!

[@Moonbatcrazy]

Putting the copper coffee maker in the bar, eventually and plumbed in, is a great idea. It looks beautiful and like a stallion in the kitchen. But the use of the coffee maker is for serving coffee. And a kitchen main purpose is for preparation . (( once the coffee maker in the bar, it will be in the right spot and have its own proud standing display. “”. we can’t wait to see what the ghost recorder has got for us today !! “”

Billy, In Convents, the Nuns used to sit separately from the rest of the congregation. I believe that is what that room to the side was for. Sometimes they would go as far as separating the Nuns with a screen. If there was a connecting door. The balcony would have been for patients that could come to service.

[@sr.marycatharineperry547]

This is true and I believe this what this room is. We call it the "choir".

[@ERICANDALEX349]

I always thought that having stained glass on the ceiling in the Chateau kitchen, below the patio terrace with back lighting would be beautiful. Imagine all that color added to it(using the stained glass doors)

[@gloriasmestad3803]

That style of stained glass plays off Piet Mondrian’s color blocking (although he deliberately chose to use fewer colors). The windows in this reception area could be from the 1950s up to the 1970s, with the effect of an abstract mosaic. I agree that a better location could be found for these windows. With direct sunlight streaming through, they could definitely add some beauty somewhere.

[@kerristeed6688]

I love the bar idea with the coffee machine, it is ideal for serving a lot of people quickly. The coloured glass panels in the doors are contemporary and beautiful. Have you considered taking them out of the doors and turning them into light boxes which would probably reach right across the wall behind the bar under the ceiling? The shelving for bottles glasses etc would then start underneath.

[@melanieadkins4855]

If there is a space adjacent to the bar, the stained glass panels, if backlit, would work well in a small dance area. It could be useful if the convent is ever used for hosting events. Tipsy people love to dance!

The room off the chapel is the Cloister for the Nuns to attend Mass and sing the Office without being in the congregation. An iron grille would have separated the main chapel from the sister's cloister. It would originally have matched the main chapel in decoration and there would have been choir stalls for the sisters.

[@zeddez1005]

I would definitely incorporate the stained-glass windows into the bar's design. You could line them up horizontally or vertically beside each other creating a wall of stained-glass which could be lit from behind. Another option would be to secure them to the windows creating a "moody" atmosphere common in a bar setting. Cheers!
