On Display

As I wrote in this post, I have been looking for an organizational solution for my jewelry so that I can see it all and make the selection process much more fun. I ended up getting this glass display case from Ikea and I love the results. 

I have laid out all the pieces that I actually wear at the moment for easy access. 

I laid pieces out by category so I can see all the options. The cabinet has plenty of space so each piece has plenty of space to be seen and then replaced later. 

A vintage necklace display and my (creepy) hand mannequin offer a few other places to place items so I can browse easily. 

The bottom shelf is the perfect place to display clutches. The cabinet comes with doors, but I opted to leave them off for easier access. 

A hand-me-down crystal tray gives me a place to put the pieces I wear almost every day. 

There is plenty of wall space above, so the hunt is on for a few items to hang to personalize the space. A mirror is a must, since it will allow me to try things on and check out how they look. 

I keep other pieces in my original jewelry box and when I am ready to switch things out, this display makes it easy. I like how it feels a bit like a boutique. They always say to shop in your own closet and this certainly makes me feel like I really am.

Jewelry Organization

Jewelry storage has been an annoying part of my day recently. I have a beautiful jewelry box that holds everything, but it is hard to see what I actually have when there are so many drawers and tops to open. I also tend to put everything away neatly every three months only to find myself laying all my pieces around the box once I have worn them. It is time to figure out something that actually works for me so I can see what I have and actually wear everything. 

I LOVE these built ins...

If our closet was not already finished, I would be asking for one of these to be built in and have a mirror on the outside. 

I also love the idea of displaying your jewelry just as they would at your favorite boutique. These glass cases from Ikea are a great example of how to do that and at a great price. 

You could use trays, bowls, and jewelry hangers to add some depth so you can see everything. Maybe throw your clutches on the bottom of the large one for display? 

This wall mounted mirror from Target is great because you can actually check yourself out once you try something on. 

Our room has baseboards, so I cannot hang anything like this. 

I think the display case from Ikea is the way to go. Just need to check it out in person to see what it really looks like and how functional it might be. 

I will keep you posted...
