The latest project

[pjthompson]

Our latest project: niche boxes for the dining room. Well, okay, "our" is perhaps a bit liberal. The roommate constructed them and painted them—but at least I chose the colors, which kitchen-themed knick knacks to display, and glued them all down with museum putty.





The roommate's salt and pepper shake collection; little blue and white cow creamer, butter dish, gravy dish, salt and pepper shakers, toothpicks dispenser.



Genuine fake antique bottles; ceramic apple bowl with cover; crystal salt and pepper shakers.



Another antique bottle of dubious origin; spoon holders; souvenir mugs of Stonehenge and the Old Mill Hotel and Restaurant, Salisbury.

Jealous. I wish I had enough wall space, but bookshelves expand to fill all available walls. I have a "shadow cabinet" (same principle, but lots of little niches) for little treasures, but nowhere to put it.

This is not helping my current blank wall hate.

Fairly easy to make. Hanging them can be something of a challenge. Ultimately we settled on the old school method of hooks and picture wire. It was just the most stable for the weight.

We don't allow bookshelves in the living/dining area. The rest of the house is crammed full of the darned things.
