Cleaning House of Jewelry Mahem

I can't believe I'm even going to display this for everyone to see, but exhibit A: the madness going on with my jewelry.

Before: Behold a mess of jewelry, make-up, perfume bottles and just a whole lot of stuff
 


In my defense, I've had this tall Ikea dresser for a million years (high school if not before) and the surface area is definitely lacking. Over the years, I've accumulated way more jewelry and watches and although I've tried to find multiple ways to store everything (a rack, a t-bar, a ring holder, trays), you can very well see that things didn't stay contained.




After: Everything has a space
 
A bigger t-bar




Rings in their slots

A little nook for earrings (this is an ice cube tray!)




A platform for some bracelets to hang out


As you can see, I still have a lot of items and might outgrow a few things unless I do a massive clean out. But it is nice for things to be organized and it will definitely work until I can get myself a nice, larger dresser; preferably like this one:


The Parker Palm Springs
My dream dresser that I'm sure is vintage and was purchased at some obscure place for a ridiculous amount of money.


Note: All items were purchase at Jewelboxco.com
