This is from a series of mini-make overs, by Ethan Allen.

After-

I hope that the turtle shells were "found."

I wish I had a little "Niche", to change up every once in awhile!I 

I actually like both of these!

[DREAMON]

I too like both....top for the summer and bottom for the other seasons.

IMO - things like a niche should be filled with items the homeowner has an emotional connection to. Photos or something like a momento of an event etc. Both the niches pictured here look to me like something in a model home , whereas I feel a niche should reflect a person's life in some way.

@151949, I agree with you.  I have many types of art in my home, but they all have special meaning.  My home will never look like a designer home--not sure if that is good or not so good.

I like how they turned the books around in the after picture.  I've never seen that before.

I agree with the person who said a niche should have a more personal touch.

Lighting and the wall paper make a huge difference
