So, in the spirit of keeping it real around here on the blog….I'm going to post a picture of my super, fabulous jewelry organization:
Pretty super, fabulous, huh? Don't judge, please!
We had a tall, skinny dresser that was in the spare bedroom, that become Tyson's room when he came home after graduation from college. He didn't need the dresser, so it was moved in to my craft room, which did NOT have room for it. We have a so-so sized walk in closet, but it is packed to the gills with clothes. I've gone through my closet many times and gotten rid of a ton of stuff. My problem, is that I like to be able to see my clothes. I don't like them hidden away in drawers where I can't see what I have. So a lof of my clothes live in the closet. We had a spot at the end of the closet that I thought might be perfect for the dresser. I could put all of my work out clothing in the dresser and organize my jewerly on top!
Madi had an old bulletiin board in her room that she didn't take with her when she moved out. I thought it would be awesome to hang my necklaces from! And it was! So without further ado, here is my "for reals" jewelry organization:
Sorry for the crappy lighting! It's hard to get good photos in a dark closet without any natural light!
Anyway, what do you think? It's only been 3 days, but so far, so good! I'm lovin' it!
Question for you:
How do you organize your jewelry? In a box? In a drawer? In a pretty display?
As some of you may remember (due to my roller coaster blog posting!), Tyson went away to college about 4 years ago! About two years after he left for college, we moved Madi into his room (sorry, slacker and no photos – believe me - it was a CUTE room!). Then SHE graduated from high school, and decided to move out! What?
Wait, no worries. Her "new" room (the bigger of the two spare rooms) became my craft room! Excuse the mess, this was right in the middle of Christmas present wrapping!
Yeah, I figured you did…..Why do we like to see other's crap and disorganization so much?
Pretty crazy, huh?
A big ol' mess!
Um, how many spatulas does a person need? And see those utensils that clip into a mixer type thing?
I don't even have that mixer thing anymore. Why do I have the utensils?
Serving spoon heaven, right? And I see a few items that I'm not even sure what they are! I'm pretty sure they came from my wedding – 24 YEARS AGO! Yikes!
Hmmmm, wine openers? And holy cheese knives!
*NOTE: the Carmex was not in the junk drawer! But, if you know me at all, you know it's not far from my side
At all times.
Can you say ADDICTED?
Are you ready to see a nice, tidy drawer?
It's she purdy?
I love it!
And it only took about 20 minutes!
Oh and those cheese knives?
Who has this many?
And why?
Do I need this many?
Wait don't answer that!
What small area in your home have you organized that made you happy?
