I wallpapered the niche wall in our dining room with two different papers. Outside the niche we used grasscloth and inside we used a beautiful paper with a silver detail. In the summer I fill the apothecary jars with oranges and lemons.

We recently (finally renovated / remodeled our master bathroom that had been sitting gutted since the day we bought our house - over 3 1/2 years ago. We finally were able to borrow the lump sum needed to do this massive makeover. The issue with the original bathroom - other than the fact that it was super dated (green wallpaper and yucky, was that the main drain was cracked and water was leaking to the floor below - into the walls and down to the floor. This is a second story bathroom and below it is the kitchen and dining room. Sadly the previous tenant was using the bathroom even with the broken drain pipes which had caused mold in the walls which we had to get professionally cleaned! Anyway, all that's in the past now and we have a fabulous modern (but comfortable master bathroom that feels like an expensive hotel / spa and it even has a view of the bay and golden gate bridge!
feel free to follow our blog for the rest of our adventures in home makeover here - http://fixerwithaview.wordpress.com - we even have a blog section about how we almost got onto HGTV's curb appeal - shot the reveal and everything before our project was cancelled.

Drizzled with chocolate accents against a calm neutral pallet made this little master bathroom large in size. Originally, the bathroom had wide red and pink striped walls and a country border around the tub. When we didn't have the budget for a complete bathroom makeover we attempted to remove the stripes and paint the walls red. But the drastic change came after we picked out a neutral color pallet, added splashes of glass mosiacs and chocolate browns, created some custom niches throughout the space for hidden surprises, and made a large custom mirror. We used large rectangular tiles that looked like expensive travertine. The cheap sliding glass shower door was replaced with an extremely tall nearly frameless shower door. We added a glass pocket door for the entry and we took down the walls to the teeny water closet. Before pictures are at the end of the remodel pictures.

This is a niche going into the living room. It was supposed to be a closet but my boss (and friend suggested this so it would add a little more character to the house. We built this house off a model homenot a big house I think 2100 sq. ft. I am glad we did this even though we lost a closet. Kristen

This was the first time I've done any faux tile work. The hardest part was figuring out how big to make the tiles so that it would come out even on both sides (you have to allow for the grout lines. The second hardest part was using a stippling brush while standing on a ladder 18 feet off the ground!

As an Interior Design student I have begun designing my living room on a fairly small budget. I believe my space embodies a classic contemporary feel. I would love to hear any suggestions or comments regarding my space.

We gutted and redid the entire room turned the old small shower into my makeup niche! Turned the bathtub to make room for a 5 foot shower! Dresser style sinks and a tall 3 shelf towel/misc niches. We love it, for those of you who asked about the walls they were textured like stucco in dry wall mud and faux painted with 2 colors.

Previously walls were just 'builder tan'. Now a DRAMATIC faux finish in Metallics on all walls with the Cutout and Ceiling done in slightly darker look. Don't leave your cut-out areas and ceilings plain....... They can be a huge dramatic look in your home!

Before... all white walls and art niche that does nothing to enhance gorgeous bronze sculpture. Now..... Hallway walls painted in a Teal/Bronze/Copper faux Finish (to coordinate with the patina on the sculpture and niche area done in a metallic gold/copper/bronze finish.

When you wall into the entryway of my house, one of the first things you see is these two niches on the right hand side. I don't know what to do with them, so they are wasted space right now. I have seen people put paintings in a niche, but when there is two of them together, is that overkill? Help! I need so ideas!

Never have enough mirrors especially in the bathroom. We added a large niche tiled in slate and trimmed in tumbled marble to hold a large Morracain style mirror. To further accent the niche wall we painted it in a great new Martha Steward color "Santana".
