Most of us don't have a ton of expendable income these days, so we have to get creative wit our home projects!I wanted to get a jewelery armoire to organize all my bling bling, but didn't quite have the cash.
(yes, I took the following pictures with my phone...they are awful...like not blog-worthy AT ALL, oh well. I was in a rush this morning, don't judge.)
Enter one chippy-painted old nightstand from Caleb's house...
I cut an egg carton in half and set that in the little drawer for earrings, pendants, etc. , bigger earrings set to the side of the crates and bracelets are stacked behind it....
Then I "installed" hooks on the side for all my necklaces. Cleaning everything out is like shopping! I forgot about so many things I already have!! Little bowls on top of the table hold odds and ends...a bobby pin here and there, etc...
Above the table, i decided to hang a clip board where I can quickly stash/grab "action items" party invitations, bills to pay, to do list, etc....
In other words, I won a......
WONDERFUL OH SO EXCITING CAN'T WAIT GIVEAWAY!!!
I hope you all know Layla @ The Lettered Cottage, I'm sure you do.

Caleb's in the middle of renovating a a Civil-War-era home in a tiny town in Illinois, and his living room will be the perfect one to have Layla tackle.

Great ideas. I love those little hooks. I've installed them on the side of Kate's dresser so that I have spot to hang her outfit for the next day or a jacket.
Oh...and put up some pictures of Caleb's house...I've always wondered what it looked like!
Where did you find those fantastic hooks for the necklaces? I keep my jewelery in cheapo plastic bead boxes that I found at Michael's and at Target, but some of my chunkier necklaces have a hard time fitting there. This all looks great!
And I totally spelled jewelry wrong there...
Wow, that is so awesome that you won! Congrats. And I love what you did with the little table. I have a huge armoire that I didn't have much to put in so I use it for my jewelry. I need to take pics because I recently reorganized it too.
Nice job, Kara....and congrats on the fabuous prize you won! How cool is that???
