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

And WOW, I really like what you use to organize your accessories! I'm going to have to check out JewelBoxCo... hmmm... I especially love the ice cube tray earring holder and the way all your watches are so neatly laid out!

  3. Looks great - so nice and neat! All of my jewelry is in a small chest of drawers so it looks neat, but open any one of those drawers and it's a different story! I might have to get some of these jewelry holding gizmos... off to JewelBoxCo

  5. I'm impressed with your organization. I need to do the same! I acutally don't have a dresser right now so I've been using a bookcase to place my jewelry...it's a mess! Not to mention all the clothes I have in suitcases until I find a decent dresser :(

  6. I am drooling to have all those. You are good to have kept all those in orderly manner. I am an anti-clutter person so I genuinely appreciate people who has the patience in organizing things. Accessories are must-have of every woman. It accelerates your beauty. But I suggest a maximum of 5 accessories will do.
