Construction Update!
If you’ve ever been on a tour of the Dreamland Ballroom with me, you’ve likely heard me say something like, “our aesthetic vision for the space is to ‘freeze it in time’ not necessarily take it back to what it looked like 80-100s years ago.” We love the old room and all its one-of-a-kind character. So, for us, that means leaving exposed brick and lathe, chipped and broken plaster and paint, and making sure the new and old blend. All while making sure everything is safe, sound, and up to code. It’s been quite a balancing act these last few years!
Right now, the new is being blended with the old. Distress painting of the new stage, sheetrock walls, and the big back balcony are all underway. Bringing a little color and life back to the old and new.
Molds are currently in progress as well for the 4 unique plaster ornaments around the stage proscenium. The large medallion missing from the top, the top and bottom border, and the small medallions that ensconce the round lights.
All is on track to be complete for this fall and we can’t wait to show off the work we’ve been doing!
Keep Dreaming, Matthew
