oversized frame bought at a thrift store for around $3 it didn't have the glass. i sprayed it white and we cut a piece of ply wood to fit the frame covered it with some leftover burlap material hammered some nails and done.
my purpose in organizing my jewelry was to be able to see it.
if i don't see it then i forget about it and if i forget about it i don't wear it.
being able to see it is crucial to keep my jewelry buying tendencies at bay.
i took some old twigs from outside, well actually a few of them were branches from our Christmas tree. we cut it up to burn it in the fire pit. i sprayed them with a light coat of white spray paint and shoved them in a vase.
to keep the branches from tipping one vase is anchored with souvenir beach rocks and one has long grain white rice.
i just used what i had lying around the house.
my dangly earrings are hanging on screen door mesh stapled to the back of a sprayed wooden frame.
the hooks are from Hobby Lobby and the cords are just twine i bradded and nailed to the frame.
if your wanting to organize your jewelry i hope this gave you some ideas.
i love being able to see everything all layed out pretty like a lil boutique.




















so this is kind of awesome... I have the exact same little owl jar... does the head twist off? I love him.
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this:)
I love it! I am also a big fan of love having everything laid out... or else I often forget about pieces...and we never want that! Great post, clever ideas. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas. I love them! I'm going to have to try these out.
ReplyDeleteBEX! this looks SOO good. I canat wait to try this out! I'm the same way if i cant see it I definatley don't wear it!
ReplyDeletei'm in love with this idea tho!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little trees you created! So chic and Anthropologie like! Your earrings and hook system are similar to my jewelry storage system, I'm certain we might have been separated at jewelry display birth :)
ReplyDeleteHere is a link I did when I posted about my jewelry! Total twinsies we are (minus the fact that I don't yet have your fabulous trees! YET being the key word!)

Love this jewelry display! Wish I had a place to do something like that. :)
ReplyDeleteKarlee, yeah his head does twist off! I believe he's an old Avon perfume or powder jar. He was a sweet find from my grandmothers old things. I just love owls ;)
ReplyDeleteAndy you MUST recreate!
Allison, I was indeed inspired by an Anthropologie display I'd seen a few years ago. Don't you just LOVE that place? It always feels like home when i step into that store.
haha you're too funny, perhaps we were separated at jewelry displaying birth ;)
Selina, you're too sweet. Thanks ;)
So lovely! It's like a little display of happiness. Love. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've displayed your collection so beautifully! And you have some great pieces to show off so why not.

Oh man, this is amazing. I think I'm going to copy your ideas. My jewelry is getting crazy in my closet and I need a little display like this. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! That jewelry corner is heaven. A job well done. Great ideas here.
ReplyDeleteBex.....I love it!! Can't wait to see it in person!! I need some of creativity to rub off on me! Or I could use your help.....that's our first to do list when we move there:) like how I included you on my to do list...haha! But to sum it all up, you are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou read my MIND with this post. I've been trying to come up with a way to have my jewelry out so I can take inventory and don't have to dig around to find what I'm looking for. I wanted to do something with a frame, but I haven't yet. This is great inspiration!! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving your cute little boutique setup!
ReplyDeleteLiterally 48 hours ago I was in the midst of a huge cleaning spree and called my mom saying "I've done a pretty good job getting all my clothes and stuff organized, but I don't know what to do with my jewelry... mostly necklaces and earrings, and right now it's all just sitting out".
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding! Definitely a project for this weekend - thanks so much!
Thanks for all the love ladies!
ReplyDeleteLib your funny! I'll help you out when you move here for sure!
Elise, thats fantastic! Glad you've got some inspiration for your jewelry organization now! Its so refreshing to get organized ;)
This is amazing =) what a great set up you have got here! I am jealous!
