My house has these niches on the wall...one in the downstairs den
and another one in the master bathroom (before picture not available, but I promise it looked just as ugly!), over the toilette, that for some strange reason the builder thought people will like....Sorry Mr. Builder, but those niches need help!
I added some fake bead board to the back wall, metal brackets and a shelf, to transform the bathroom niche into a cozy spot to display a pretty collection of vintage bottles...
an old mirrored door to make it look bigger,an antique framed print...(love the aqua and yellow shade of the wall together!)
and of course, some necessities...
The project cost me under $30, that qualifies it for Frugal Friday...Easy and inexpensive transformation with lots of cottage charm!
Now, I just have to tackle the one in the den....but first, I will visit all the Frugal Friday Participants at
The Shabby Nest!
AND BECAUSE WE LOVE TO RE-USE, WE ARE RECYCLING THIS POST FROM YESTERDAY AND LINKING IT TO:

THANK YOU JEN FOR HOSTING!

Just darling! Loving the toilet paper in the basket...something I would do (actually did do in my bathroom too...great minds think alike!)
Love the vintage feel... so clever too with the shelves!
Wonderful idea for the niche! I love the TP basket, too! I don't ever seem to come across great metal baskets like that.

What a great idea! I love the basket with the "Hockey Tickets" in it! Keeps people from digging in your cabinets to find another roll!
