Jewelry Organization!

My sister's favorite thing to buy me, besides wine, is jewelry. Since I have so many earrings, I realized a month or so ago that my jewelry organization needed some help. Probably because I had NO organization whatsoever.

See below... please ignore the dust mites everywhere!




I was at a BBQ at our Youth Center director's house a few weeks ago and saw her organization, and fell in love. I couldn't help but copy what she did... So Ashlee and I set up one of our sushi dates and went to the store across from the sushi place in the mall (which everyone refers to as "the Casa store") to purchase supplies.

So this was my Saturday early afternoon project... I bought three milk crate boxes with 12 openings each. I also bought two boxes of small plastic trays/cups to fit in each to hold my earrings and necklaces. 

3 milk crate boxes = 36 euro
2 boxes of trays/cups = 3 euro

With a little help from my wonderful husband, this is what I started with on our bedroom wall:






Finished product:


But I had to add a special touch... a small pocket charm Momma gave me one Valentine's day that says "Follow Your Heart."



I absolutely love it and love that it only took me about 30 minutes, including hanging them up. So excited to look at this every day!
