Organizing Jewelry & Other Accessories

One of the challenge participants asked how I organized my jewelry. First I must say that I LOVE JEWELRY, but I'm also very good about not having too much. I tend to keep a few things that are sentimental and the rest of my jewelry is pretty cheap, trendy items, so it's easy for me not to have too much.


I have this jewelry cabinet (that my father-in-law built for me) and I love it! I have one drawer of watches, two drawers of bracelets, a drawer of earings, a drawer of buttons and mending items, a hair accessories drawer, a makeup bag drawer, and a hair tools drawer. It is more than enough room to fit everything I need. Because my jewelry is so BIG right now, it's difficult to find containers that will fit them well, but this is what a few of my drawers look like:

Bracelets...



Earrings (I use an ice cube tray to organize my smaller earrings and rings)


I bought this coat rack because it was cheap, cute and would go well in my bedroom. After having it in my bedroom for a couple months with nothing on it, I decided that it would be a great place for my necklaces. I love using this to hang my necklaces. I also have a few hats hung on top.



Since I was posting about accessories, I thought that I would share the following idea for organizing hats I got from my younger sister. I just put some small nails in the wall and hung our hats on them. It works great and looks cute!
