This is a set of inset wall niches. They sit in the wall (and are, in fact, windows that don't let light in) and with the addition of a handy-dandy shelf you can put things in them. To pretty things up some, there are also 2 different frames that you can put over them. The frames are 100% optional, you don't have to use them. The niches will work and look just fine without them. The only reason they exist is that I read too much and saw a picture of, you guessed it, a framed niche.
What you get:
6 niches: a triple niche, 2 double niches and 3 single niches (top, middle and bottom). Since you can't put more than 1 window on a tile this was the best way to get all the combinations I could think of.
3 single shelves in 2 different heights. Each shelf has 5 slots.
3 thick frames in 3 different heights.
3 thin frames in 3 different heights.
Recolors are included for all in: Apartment Life Medium wood, Apartment Life Dark wood, Maxis Black, White and Cherry, and 2 planked woods I just love in Grey and Brown. There are also invisible recolors included for the metal bars on the frames.

Important stuff to know:

Catalog Locations and Cost:
Niches - Build>Windows, 15 Simoleons
Shelves - Surfaces>Misc, 10 Simoleons
Frames- Deco>Wall Hangings, 10 Simoleons
A residential collection file is included to make finding all the meshes easy peasy.

If you downloaded these last year from Leefish's site or my blogspot- the niches and shelves are exactly the same except for 2 things: there are now only 3 shelves and the recolors are not the same. So if you have that set and want to download this set, you don't need the niche meshes. For the shelves? I recommend deleting the ones you have and putting the new ones in your download folder. For the old recolors- they will still work for the shelves. For the niches, they'll still work BUT they'll recolor the whole thing- there won't be 2 options. This is because I kept the same GUIDs. The frames are new, so there's nothing you'd need to do for those!
Polygon Counts:
Triple Niche - 334 (2 sided window)
Double Niches - 240 (2 sided window)
Single Niches - 136 (2 sided window)
Shelves - ALL - 12
Thick Frames - ALL - 74
Thin Frames - ALL - 158
Additional Credits:
MilkShape, SimPE, PhotoShop CS2, Maxis for the wood textures, OrangeMittens for the TS3 niches that inspired these (these are not conversions of her's), my reading obsession that inspired the frames, SeeMyu for reminding me how to add a spoiler

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

The exception: My TS4 Robert Williamson sim. I would really like it if he's not edited in any way. He's my tribute to Robin Williams, who was someone I greatly admired. Changing him would make him just another sim.
