Niche decorating IDEAS - everyday & holidays - books, frames, candles, art - DECOR - How to fill in space

This is the first house we've had a niche and not only do I have one, but I have three.
What is a niche? A recess in a wall and all of mine have shelves. Before now I didn't even know how to pronounce it right and still not sure. Lol. Some people sound it out as niCH or kneeSH and for now I'm saying kneeSH.  

My first thought,"Grrrreat, something to dust." I despise dusting and only planned to decorate once and never change it. Then Christmas and Valentine's Day came around and I'm kinda having fun changing them.

Here are two of the three currently. I'll take a photo of the third one and update.
Valentine's Day theme. 
Not sure if I'll keep changing them for the holidays but for now it's forcing me to dust. :D

The bottom photo is my absolute favorite of my boys. 
I'm still working on decorating and testing out different looks so you'll see some of the same things. Also, I don't have that much filler crap and trying to slowly find new things. I have some floral and might try that too.


Valentine's Day I have a heart basket with candy and didn't want two candy dishes. I filled the glass jar with dog treats instead of candy. We have FOUR dogs and they are loving the quick access to their treats.

This one is down the hall. It's finished but only have a photo while I was working on it. This one also has a shelf that is a little warped and certain things amplify that. 

I would like to buy something rounded and maybe hang it on the wall in the top part or maybe stencil, or paint or add lights. Hmmm....


BUT I don't have that much to fill 2 entire niches. I added large ornaments as filler on one side.

The jar on the second shelf is missing the diffuser sticks when I took the photo. Just in case you were wondering. :)

Our decor at our old house was brown, black and olive green. Now we have a new new rug and throw pillows that have burgundy and more blacks and greys. I'll keep you posted on my next update.


UPDATE:
St. Patrick's Day...so far. I'm in the process of making a green photo block like the Valentine's day blocks.
My absolutely favorite photo of the boys. <3


I found these Ferrero Rocher candies on sale after Valentine's Day - 12 for $1
It's our "pot of gold." 

Lucky sign was purchased at Micheal's with a 50% off coupon.

2017 - Annual Family Zombie Photo - CAMPING theme - photography - halloween props & decorations

We do a yearly family zombie photoshoot and create a new theme of something a family would do but as zombies. A few are in a graveyard or inspired by the Walking Dead. 

Some people send holiday cards.....well, we send Halloween zombie cards. You can see past years -  2009-201320142015 & 2016. I can't believe we've been taking them for NINE years!!!

Our theme this year - FAMILY CAMPING

I had so much fun making all the severed body parts and intestines and they turned out great!


The set-up

Camping stuff (obviously) - Tent, camping chairs, lantern, bbq grill. 

I didn't realize two camping chairs were in my car and it's been in the shop for almost a month. :/ I also didn't realize my tripod was in my car as well. Only two chairs and we used our trash can as the tripod. Lol!


Mini grill with severed nose, fingers, and intestines.


New for this photoshoot were the severed arms, torso and intestines. See link above for DIY tutorial.




((Drum roll))















2017 Family Zombie Photo/Card


Hanging skeleton, severed head & hand on the lantern are in almost all our family photo shoots. Sometimes they don't make it to the final card but we used them.

Happy Halloween!

2016 - Zombie Family Movie Night - ANNUAL HALLOWEEN themed photoshoot - Gruesome fun!

This year we were going to re-make our photo from 2009 and had it all planned but got a late start that day. We ended up setting it all up and lost light. We were in full makeup and had to last minute come up with something....anything! 

MOVIE NIGHT theme put together literately with no prep. Someone make the popcorn, someone grab the props and bloody sheets (used for past Halloween parties) and I'll test light and lets do this!! 

You can see past years -  2009-2013 & 2014 & 2015
