NICHE PROJECT COMPLETED


This project has been finished for a few days now, but I finally get around to sharing it with you all.

For the last couple of days I have had the worst migraine headache, you see, 
I did a little painting in the garage with the door close and I think the fumes got to me.

Who says decorating can't be dangerous? LOL Lesson learned!

It took me a while to find the items I had envisioned for these shelves.
When I found this pretty European-made glass charger with a hand-painted, metallic finish on the reverse at Pier 1, 
it all kind of happened after that.



It went very nicely with the blue vase set I had from Kirklands.





And I love the way these colors looked with some silver accents.



I also added this beautiful 55 year old wedding picture of my parents-in-law.
I bought the frame at Michael's this past weekend. 
Regular price was $25.00, but with all the President's Day sales and a coupon, 
I got it for $8.00. Isn't it pretty?



And with some pretty ceramic birds I already had and a couple of family pictures, the shelves are finished.
















Thank you all for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.
See you soon!

    Very pretty, Maria Elena! I think you have just the right amount of accessorizing going on here. Love that plate you found at Pier 1. That is a great frame you found and a great price for it, too.

    Very very nicely done! You've created a great balance with everything you placed in there. I love the glass charger that started it all! You pulled together a great grouping with the Kirkland's pieces and the birds. Love the new frame for the wedding picture- what a perfect touch!

    Oops! Sorry about the headache. I think we've probably all done that before! Glad you're feeling better. The niche looks so much better! Love the frame - need to go to my Michaels as DD1 would love it. All of your accessories are perfect together.

    I hope you'll come see My Daughter's Master Bath Redo! We're so proud of it - #83 at Met Monday.
