New Look!

This summer has been a busy one for NCHC clinic. It has been getting a new look. It started with new flooring, then the chairs were recovered with a leather look fabric. The goal was to soften the look and make it look less "clinical" and more welcoming to patients. The walls were too white and needed to be toned down for a more welcoming look.
Once the flooring and chairs were done we had to wait for a few months before the painting could begin. We could hardly wait!
Finally the first walls began to take on a new and updated look. This is an accent wall located on the main wall in the waiting area. It was amazing how it changed the look and the feel of the clinic.
Once this wall was finished I could hardly wait for the clock to go up. It was ordered from a woman in St. Johns who makes them. She did an amazing job.
The business side of the clinic was finished first so the decorating began there. A pay phone was removed from this area. The shelf made a nice area for decorating.
Jennifer cut the "Moments" wording out for me. It really makes the wall stand out and draws in the deep red from the accent wall. Patients began commenting that the clinic felt like home.
With the waiting area completed it was time to hang the clock and the curtains. It was an amazing makeover. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the room before the chairs were recovered and the flooring put down. There are a few areas left that need a final touch but the clinic has made an amazing transformation. Patients walk in now and spin in circles saying they can't believe the difference. One woman said that she didn't feel like she was at a medical facility but felt more like she was setting in someone's living room. Goal met!
