You can see in this picture that different designs were being "tried out" on the wall, it took me a second to realize that something was different.
I thought I did a better job of taking pictures, guess I was in too much of a hurry to actually get the pictures taken than caring about how focused they were. I just say I'm excited to go and see the re-stored Chapel and to take pictures of it.
Here's an article on the re-stored Chapel
As soon as I find pictures of the newly restored Chapel I will try to do a side by side comparison. The pictures I was sent by one of the campus ministers were sent to her by one of the priests on campus and I don't want to use his personal photos on my blog. Oh well that's just an excuse to go visit one of my favorite chapels. You'll see a picture in the link if you click on it.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mary!
Seton Hall chapel looks fantastic.
You may already have seen this, but Fr Z did a piece on the renovation with "before and after" pictures:

The New Liturgical Movement blog also had a feature:

On a related topic, I also found these photos of an Extraordniary Form Mass celebrated in Seton Hall chapel (during the period of the renovation) earlier this year.

I love the Latin Mass, and I found the post you did on it a few months ago really interesting. I especially agreed with what you said about kneeling for communion, etc.
I always think that kneeling for communion helps focus the mind on the fact that we are truly receiving the Body of Christ, and helps instil in us a due sense of awe and wonder.
