So I have a bit of a conundrum of the jewelry storage kind. I currently have a hodgepodge of storage pieces for my lovely things that sits on my dresser. I would rather refer to it as a “grouping of things” with the f-bomb behind it, but hey, I’m trying to keep this blog PG (if you didn’t get that, just ask me later). I digress. It’s a disaster. Every morning when I go to pull my favorite earrings or find something festive to brighten up my work wardrobe, I shudder at the explosion of shizz that is on my dresser top. Blah.
This is even afer a little bit of tidying. Don’t judge me, internet! Well, you can judge me, but just don’t put hateful comments on my blog. I know that this jewelry situation needs some addressing, so I’m coming to you, world wide web, to help me out. I know that I want something very clean and simple to house my everyday earrings and necklaces, and then the rest of my stuff that isn’t used daily can stay in my hodgepodge of boxes and relocate to the closet. For the easy accessible everyday pieces, what are your thoughts on these little numbers?
Possibly I should go for some cool bowls to casually lay my necklaces over and to house my few choice earrings?
I love these little bowls from anthropologie, but I fear that my things will become a big tangled mess if they’re left to their own devices in a bowl. Maybe the solution is a nice, sleek tray for everything to be laid out upon? I am seriously considering this for my makeup (in the bathroom) so I can store my makeup bag in a drawer but keep the everyday essentials at my fingertips on the countertop. Maybe this solution could work for jewelry as well?
Quite the pickle, eh? Maybe I’m over thinking it (shocker, right?), so I’m hoping blogland can stear me in the right direction! Feel free to let me know your thoughts or if you have another storage solution that’s better than what my brain has cooked up!
p.s. I love postscripts. Just wanted to let you know that I usually provide a link to the products I’m showing if you’re interested in where they hail from. If you see a word that is underlined and in a different color, give it a click and see where it takes you (my dad just had an “aha!” moment).
You know me so well. The aha was exactly as you said. I immediately clicked on the first underlined item above, and, viola, a perfect source to purchase the item. Very cool!
No ideas from me. You know mine is a mess. I do like the branch for your favs. If it’s all stuffed in a box you sort of forget you have it, then don’t wear it. Besides, it’s pretty to look at.
Just saw something in In Style Mag /April that inspired an idea. How about layering different sized cake plates. I know you have several. Might be pretty.
I just LOVE the modern tree jewelry holder from Urban Outfitters and have actually been considering purchasing one for myself!
Question: how do you save the Wordle? Did you choose “Save to gallery”?
My tech savvy husband actually saved the wordle for me. We have a Mac, so we used the “grab” program to take a screen shot and save it as a jpeg. I couldn’t figure out how to post the image address to my site. Maybe you can do a print screen and save the image that way? Hope this helped!
Hey hey!!
When I was at my friend Lindsay’s place I learned of a really neat, funky way to organize earrings. She took a picture frame (which I know you love, according to your Wordle Durdle) and she put a piece of netting-like fabric where the picture would go. It’s more for your dangley ones, but I think studs still hang on pretty well too. I liked it because it looks like a piece of art, but you’re keeping your earring pairs all organized!
Haven’t tried it myself, but it looks cool and she says it’s super easy!
[...] sometimes its nice for someone to point out the obvious. I have also been debating about buying a small tray to openly display my makeup and RS again read my mind with the picture above of my exact thoughts. [...]
[...] I bit the bullet. I had been thinking about this silly little ceramic tray ever since I blogged about it a month ago, and it’s my personal mantra that if something is eating at you after a [...]
