I've gotta show you the slipcover for my ottoman and some pillows I sewed. I couldn't resist this tweed plaid suiting. My work clothes consist of comfortable cottons that allow me to clean, play light sabers, hide and seek, as well as much more. I guess I wanted something to feel dressed up and polished:)
Let me tell you that working with this plaid was a bear! The plaid is not square but rectangular. Therefore, I had a time of it matching up the ruffle. It took an extra trip to JoAnn's fabric and a few choice words when the kids weren't around. But after a little perseverance, I got it done.
Anyways, on to my dust niches, I mean, art niches. I'm not sure why they decided to cut out 2 holes in the wall so high up. I have to drag out the 8' ladder and climb almost to the top step to reach up here. Needless to say, they don't get dusted like they should. I decided I would make myself start decorating them for the seasons. Here is what I came up with:

Really cute! I have a couple of high ledges a.k.a. dust collectors at my house as well. It's always a pain to know how to decorate those areas, but you did really well. I really like the trunk with the pumpkins and fall leaves.
