My jewelry storage solution

15 years ago

This is my latest solution to my increasing costume jewelry collection. Granted, I have a large walk in closet, so I had the space to do this. I used one mirror square surrounded by 8 cork squares.

I am using it neckaces, bracelets and a few pair of earrings. My other earrings are in ice cube trays in a drawer.

    OMG, Terriks, what a fanstatic idea!!!! And it wouldn't cost a lot to do, either. I have a quite small walk-in closet, but now I'm going to be racking my brain trying to use/adapt your idea somehow. I've got to tell my sisters, DD, and girlfriends about this one!

    That is a great solution. I dont have a WIC, so I had to come up with a creative storage solution too. I put in a 5 drawer high boy dresser and ended up getting some wooden desk trays that I could stack on top of each other. They fit perfectly in the drawers. I used ice cube trays for earrings like you did, and I stumbled in some silverware drawer organizers that were the perfect depth to lay out my necklaces. I also got some drawer organizer boxes at Ikea to hold bracelets & chunky beaded necklaces.

    A few years ago I got hold of a wooden silverware box. I tore out the insides and relined it with velvet, it holds my stash of vintage rhinestone jewelry. It looks like a ginormous jewelry box, and I guess that's what it is now!.

    I have a similar set up in my closet. I have a full length mirror on the far wall in the closet, and over the mirror I have a couple of those "bars" with a lot of hooks on them. Those got crowded so then I just started banging nails in the wall around them. I also have a jewelry drawer in my closet divided into small squares, which is where I keep my earrings.

    Me too, except mine are peg board. I LOVE it! (this is one of three)

    That's a marvelous idea, Terriks. I just wish I had enough wall space in my walk-in to do this, but I don't! I have a huge jewelry box, but tend to forget what's in it half the time. I'm very visual, and have to actually "see" the necklaces and bracelets to remember what I have. This is the perfect solution.

    I put a piece of cork in a pretty frame and have that sitting on my vanity. I was lucky enough to find a bunch of clearance pushpins that were flowers and butterflys - I guess they were too cutesy for an office setting but perfect for me. I keep my silver necklaces in a jewelry box to cut down on tarnishing.

    So many great ideas! I wish my walk-in closet was roomy enough for terriks idea, but I have rods on three sides. I am also very visual so I don't like having all my stuff in boxes I can't see through. You've all given me plenty of ideas, thanks!

    neat ideas!!

    when we redid our closets, i had a couple of my husband's tieracks left over that i've kept... i've thought several times that they would be good to hang and use for necklaces.... but haven't done it... yet!

    I don't have a walk-in closet, but I saw this in the PB teen catalog. It is a jewelry cabinet, hidden behind a framed full length mirror. Thought it was a great idea and will (eventually!) try to make my own out of an existing mirror I have.
