As I told you all in a previous post I have been getting into organization lately. Since it is raining- yet again- I decided to find a project to occupy another afternoon indoors. As I was sitting in my bedroom, I glanced over at my built in book cases and realized that my jewelry collection needed a double dose of organization! My necklace collection needed an immediate upgrade. So I headed over to Pinterest straightaway to see what unique things I could do to display my necklaces because my current storage method was atrocious! I came across some awesome ideas. Here are a few that I really liked:
Love the necklace display found here. The next one is my favorite by far! It’s such a unique way to recycle a rake!
All of these were marvelous ideas but I was definitely not going to head out in the rain to try and track down these items. So I went on a treasure hunt in my home to see what I could use to store my necklaces. I found 2 tie holders and a iron candle holder that was no longer being used due to the fact the glass pieces broke during our last move. So I took those items and transformed them into necklace holders. Here is a picture of how I was originally storing my necklaces:
And here is a picture of how I attached the candle holder and neck tie holders to the wall. I used cup hooks to attach-probably not the best idea but they worked! I was using what I had available!
Decided to turn the candle holder on an angle to make the display a little more visually appealing. After I got the holders attached I just started adding the necklaces until I got the desired look!
And of course I couldn’t just stop there! I had to organize all of the jewelry. So I headed back out on another treasure hunt and found two candle sticks that I decided to use as bracelet holders. I already had my bangles stored in a serving platter that was not in use.
So after the organization frenzy, I ended up with a cute little accessories corner. I know I know I have a truckload of accessories. In my mind you can never have too much especially since I also make some of my jewelry! This was an effective little way to get my things displayed so I know exactly what I have. Here is the finished product.
I am satisfied with the results for now. I’m sure I will want to change it up a bit in the future. The best part is this little project cost me $0! How awesome is that? I think my hubby was surprised to see my little corner because when he came home he said “everyday I come home to something different! That’s pretty cool though.” I think as long as he doesn’t come home to a wife with purple hair and a nose ring he is content LOL!
Have you been inspired to do any ideas from Pinterest lately? That site is a DIY lovers best friend!
Until next post,

Wow Brittany! What a collection you have there! It’s so cool to be able to reuse things not for their purpose. This is a great idea.
Thanks Donah! Yes I have a huge collection. That crazy thing is that I gave away half my collection when we moved so you can only imagine how much I had before. It will probably be large again at some point because I make jewelry as well. Thanks for reading 🙂
Oh wow, amazing. I can only imagine your huge collection! That’s so cool that you make your own jewelry… I wish I had the time to do the same. ha ha. just a thought, that would be a great blog giveaway, don’t cha think?
You know I hadn’t even thought about that! That’s a great idea 🙂
I am glad you think so! Make sure you get on the wagon for the WFBC Blog of the Month, it would be the first!
That is an amazing way to store your jewellery! Love it! Will have to try it once I get back home for good after my studies 🙂
Thank you very much! Let me know how your project turns out 🙂
Your accessories corner looks gorgeous brittany, not just nice storage but so decorative xxx
Thank you so much 🙂

I found it on Pinterest 🙂
