my crafty moment

I decided to make my girl's halloween costume. I took pictures and had to post them because I don't do crafty things often. It proved sort of fun. and yes, I be-dazzled the t-shirt and there is a matching hair bow. wow. She chose the colors.
Also, in the past 2 weeks or so, we found a computer cabinet. It will make our office room into an extra room, and our office gets to all happily be contained in a piece of furniture. I'm happy. I can close the doors and no child can get in and/or knock over any sort of computer gadgety something.

and here it is (thanks to craigslist):


note:
if anyone has ideas on what I can do with the random 'nook' or 'recess' in the wall behind so it doesn't look tacky, I'd appreciate the ideas. I'd also appreciate some color thoughts. I currently have greens and reds and blacks and browns in my family room but would love something that could work with lighter blues in the distant future...ideas??
