My favorite version of "decorating" is to take any plain
jane object and. . . . .
add some pattern to it. Wham-O! Instant visual gratification.
This is a super easy project but for those of you who like a bit of guidance when it comes to crafts, (I do too) here is a mini tutorial. I took some leftover wrapping paper, pressed it into the nook, then traced the outline of the inside. I imagine that newspaper would work just fine too but it always make me sneeze. I used the pattern to trace the shape on to
this lovely paper. (Purchased on clearance
woot-
woot.) I cut out the shape and
attached it to the wall with double sided tape. The single detail that needs special care is to be certain that you trace your pattern onto the correct side of the paper. This arch may look
symmetrical but if you try to hang paper on the right side that has been traced with the left side of the pattern you will quickly see how unique each curve is.

you have such great, creative taste :) and a yay for the romania plate!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I can't believe you live in Long Beach too! I teach classes at Prep Kitchen Essentials in Seal Beach. Great idea with the pattern in small spaces by the way!
