{Organization} Jewelry Storage

Hey hey friends!  It’s so good to finally be back to share a project with you – this having two kids in two different sports thing is really putting a damper on my to-do list… but it has been fun to watch them each embrace a team sport and make new friends so it’s all worth it, right?  (And season ends soon – woohoo!)

So I have one of those ClosetMaid storage systems in my closet to help corral purses and scarves, and it had turned into a drop zone for all of my accessories (not in a good way).  I finally decided to tackle the tangled mess and organize my jewelry once and for all.

Organized Jewelry Station

After saying I would DIY a frame for my jewelry for about a year and never getting around to it, I finally just gave in and bought this one at Hobby Lobby (for 50% off).  It was a great solution to my mess of accessories.  And for the sake of keeping it real, here ya go:

I’d love to have a “real” piece of furniture here but my closet is just too small so this will have to do for now.  I’ve thought of a few little ways to spiff up this particle board masterpiece, but in all honesty, who really cares?  It’s in my closet.  It serves its purpose.  And Lord knows I have far better projects to work on… okay, well maybe I’ll just switch out the handles.

Riiiiight.

Anyhoo, here’s a few more pics:

The two Command Hooks on the side keep seasonal scarves at the ready and the vintage glass bowl holds extra long necklaces and additional flower brooches.

ROYGBIV Jewelry Organization

Like any good control freak organizer, my baubles are arranged in a ROYGBIV colourway.  It makes me very happy to look at my spectrum of costume jewelry, and it makes it easy to accessorize when I’m getting dressed.  I find I’m wearing my jewelry more now that it’s organized and accessible.

There are so many other great ideas out there for jewelry organization.  Have you come up with any great ideas?
