nooks and niches.

virginia mcdonald.

we’ve all got these odd little nooks and niches around the house that we’re not always sure what to do with. a funny little hallway, or a recessed built-in from an era when phones still attached to our walls. i happen to love decorating these little spots. creating a sweet little vignette of collectibles, adding a vintage chair with perhaps a few books stacked up nicely, or adding a bit of artwork and creating a mini gallery. here’s a few grand examples of what to do with the awkward nooks and crannies.

  1. There is something here, this dusty-bright coves, and kitchen caves, that set me straight into carving out one just for me, in my own home.

    Cheers!

    I have a nook in my new house that I haven’t been able to find something that “fits” there yet. Thanks for sharing these inspirational pics!

    It seems I’m going to be quite busy on Pinterest — so many gorgeous photos you’ve given us to swoon over. The lilacs are my favorite, but I adore that antique couch. Pieces like that are so rare and special and the fabrics on it are wonderfully interesting.

  14. I love the room with the globe and the desk, as well as the nook/cranny with the couch in it. That stark white look with different splashes of color is so great.
