Keeping all of your accessories and makeup organized can be a task! I like having mine out, to add a little glister to my room, but also because "out of site, out of mind" certainly rings true for me... I would totally forget about everything. Here are a few ideas that you can use to store/organize your makeup and jewels.
bird cage - i picked this up at urban outfitters, great for hanging all types of jewelery. You can definitely find one of these at the thrift store. they come in all sizes and if you want a pop of color you can spray paint it to personalize if white is not your fav
beer bottle - before the bottles I had my bracelets pretty much just piled in the jewelery box. this way i can see them and they are also decorative
add some hooks on a mirror - don't have too many necklaces so I added four hooks to this wooden framed mirror that I picked up in college at the end of the semester when everyone is getting rid of all their stuff
kitchen utensil caddy - perfect for makeup brushes, face lotion and foundation. I store most of my makeup in my Sephora trunk, but this caddy is great for keeping every day items organized

candle holders - these are great for storing all kinds of things! there are so many pretty candle holders that you can find on the cheap at the thrift store or at a bargain home goods store. I put my face pencils and mascara in the one on my dresser
ash tray - for a non-smoker I sure do own a lot of ash trays! Ideal for small stud earring and rings
what other cool/unusual ways do you organize your things?
very organized!! You inspired me to organize mine!! haha

i LOVE this peak into your amazing world of accessories! awesome post
ReplyDeleteMy room is similarly strewn with my favorite stuff out on display (its too pretty to hide in a drawer, and the out of site thing applies to me, too). It makes me happy to see it sparkling in the morning sun, so much so that I snapped some pictures the other day, which really made me laugh when I saw this! great minds?
The beer bottle idea is genius...might have to steal that. I also use vintage cut glass bowls(i guess they might normally be used for punch or something?), vintage cake stands, letterpress trays, cork boards and pins, and hooks and little boxes everyyywhere

You seems to be an accessories junkie like myself, and i must admit it, i'm gonna steal some ideas from you because yours are really well organized
ReplyDeleteI do love accessories! And I am mostly organized especially when taking pics of my things!
