I mentioned the painted pews of Sweden in the previous post and I keep thinking about them...it's striking how rare painted pews are in the USA, except for the occasional drab white. There's nothing particularly spiritual about woodtones.
So witness the effect of serene grey, pale blue with yellow, green with orange-red accents, and even turquoise.
Or spend hours perusing the amazing set of Swedish churches on flickr to gather your own inspirations (a trip to Sweden to tour churches is definitely in my future plans, now!)
If you're a small church needing a makeover, a good cabinet-maker can provide a durable finish that will totally change your look for a lower cost than replacing the pews either with new ones or with chairs.
