I love Halloween, but super early marketing ruins it by making it dull. I also love Fall, but I don't like it encroaching on summer.

love it.

You could do built in shelving (stack plates, books, french pots, whatever), or cabinets, you could paint the inside another color, have fun with it. I would place some art or a mirror above the m...

Eric- did you go with the green?

The vanity appears to be awkwardly placed there, I'd go for the tub.

Eric- Thanks for posting photos. It looks great, and I love how the green and white fabric really pops.

Sweet Corn with a Juicy Tomato with just a hint of pepper on it is summer for me. Throw in a bushel of crabs with old bay seasoning, and I am in heaven.

If it were me, I would paint the inside back (not the shelves, trim, etc) a color. Put books in the shelves, and then add some of your treasures.
