Wall niche

A wall niche is not for every taste. I think it's because to display small collectibles is to reveal a certain personality trait. Some people just aren't that way, while others love the idea. And the available styles are also purely aesthetic. There's nothing structural about these things.

This location happens to be the intersection of the hallway and the front entry, so it was almost a given to have something as a visual focal point. The previous owner had a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, which seemed rather vain. I think having the mirror backing in the niche is just about right.

I don't have a lot of little knick knacks to show. I just went online and ordered it because the trim seemed to somewhat match my door mouldings down the hall. Good enough. Easy enough, too.
