I am in a constant battle with my jewelry. I don't have a ton of jewelry, but I can never seem to find the best way to store what I do have and it always ends up being a cluttered mess. I bought myself a cheap-o jewelry box at Target a few years ago, but it is no longer doing the trick and I am on the hunt for a better (and prettier) storage solution. I am loving these jewelry stands that save space by taking advantage of height.
I don't love the price tag of that last one, but now that I think about it, it's something I could definitely replicate myself with a little creativity and some fun vintage dishes. Let me add that to my list of 472 DIY projects I plan to tacke soon! ;-)
I know that it is totally not pretty (though mine is in my cloest so it's not out anyway), but the best storage solution I have found is a craft organizer type box... it has lots of little pull-out drawers and each drawer is divided into two depth-wise, so I can put something different in each compartment. A few pairs of earrings in one, a necklace in another, a matching necklace/earring set in the front and back pair of one little mini-drawer. It's certainly not luxurious or feminine, but it's kept my jewelery super organized so I can grab and go in the mornings!
ReplyDeleteOK, maybe I'm about to say something totally ridic, BUT I bought myself a combo jewelry/lingerie armoire thingy, and it works great. Of course, I also have 30 years worth of real and costume jewelry because I don't believe in spring cleaning. :) I think I just like to shut a door on my stuff. Someday, when I'm rich, I'll be one of those people that buys an armoire with doors just to hide away my TV.
ReplyDeleteI love the last one with the vintage plates, I can't wait to see how yours turns out.
ReplyDeleteI have a hanging one from the container store with 80 pockets or so. It isn't decorative, but very functional.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the PB one you have posted - it owuld be so easy to see all of your stuff out in the open instead of hidden in a box.
ReplyDeleteThose jewellery stands are gorgeous! And could also double as cake stands should you throw an impromptu afternoon tea!
ReplyDeleteI have about a zillion long necklaces (which are tangle-central if they're not stored relatively well), I keep them on a tie/belt rack that hangs over the top of our bedroom door. It was really cheap and works well, I can also hang dangley earrings on it along the top which is a plus. I keep stud earrings and rings in a pretty little jar on my dressing table. Finding a storage solution that works for you is the battle - because after that, it's a breeze to find the perfect accessory for whatever outfit you have on, saves a lot of time too!
I bought a set of acrylic organizers from the Container Store and they do the trick and still look pretty nice (in a minimalist sort of way). I use the acrylic trays with adjustable dividers to store all my makeup in my dresser and I have a great folding screen for earrings (this can be displayed on top of the dresser standing up or folded and tucked away inside a drawer) and a clear necklace stand for headbands and necklaces.
ReplyDeleteOooooh I love these! I like the middle one with sections, I need that extra help organizing. I've been scouring Etsy for a jewelry tree too, never thought of the plate idea. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great advice, everyone! I'll keep you posted on how I do :-)
ReplyDeleteOooohhh.. i have exactly the same problem with you and i thank you for this post! The 4 tier stand from etsy looks soo awesome but a tad pricey for me. I like that PBteen one because it has the tray for things that we can't hang.
