Organizing Bags & Jewelry - Design Details Master Closet Part 3

Welcome to the last of the Design Details of our Master Closet!

If you've missed the other Details, LINKS can be found at the end of this post.

Today, I will be talking about organizing something near and dear to my heart - BAGS ( and jewelry)!



You already know that I am self-confessed Bag-aholic.

 I love bags, be it branded or not, I buy and collect bags for their form and function. Although majority of my bags are what one might consider "High-end", my bag collection encompasses not only those, but a lot of really beautiful (to me at least) but not-so-costly bags as well. And today, I will share with you how I organized such a collection,

Of course, a display is in order
TIP #1: Display your favorite bags 

As you can see from above, I displayed my favorite ones and the ones sturdy enough to stand. I like enjoying my bags even if I don't get to use all of them a lot. And plus, they look nice even if their not carried - to me at least. ;-)

The glass shelves and lighting made them look even better

Of course, I have to tell you,  I do put them inside their INDIVIDUAL DUST BAGS & do use old pillows to get them to prop up on a regular basis since I still need to figure out how to add glass doors to the cabinet itself.

TIP #2: Store in nice boxes


I added these wonderful pull out shelves in my bag cabinet, for my small collection of clutches and wallets. Inside the Hermes box I placed my silk scarves and the small wallets inside the Chanel box.


For my very special Hermes bags, I have kept them in their pretty orange boxes and placed both in their individual pull out shelves.


Other big bulky bags are inside boxes on the top of my cabinets.

TIP #3: Categorize

I  categorized my bags inside the drawers. I don't put them inside dust bags here, I just put one big dust bag  that covers the top of all the bags .

Inside my 3 lower drawers

Now let's look at how I organized my jewelry!

TIP #4: Hang what you can

 Pull-out hooks work well

I hung my necklaces (Take note, not my bags, since it wears out the handles) according to lengths.
The shorter ones ended up in the pull-out in my bag cabinet, and the long ones on a Brass Floral Wall Art I re-purposed for such. It's always nice to hang things beautifully. You can check out my suggestions on Jewelry storage HERE.

You also know that my small vanity inside the closet is also just for storing jewelry...

This Vanity which I got from IKEA HERE
Has a small mirror which is perfect for getting ready
TIP #5  Compartmentalize



As you can see I placed my small earrings in individual acrylic containers so I can see and store them easily. The round ones are from the craft department of the Dollar Store and and square ones are from Crate & Barrel I bought years ago.This also makes it easy to choose and bring my earrings when I travel.


And like the bags,  DISPLAY what you can. We have a tendency to forget things we have if we don't see them, so I always opt to display them. The mantra "out of sight, out of mind" is all to perfect for both bags and jewelry.


So that is my 2 cents worth of ideas when it comes to this topic. I still have one more thing to share about the Master Closet, and it's not at all pretty. Will share it next time.

Hope you have a Great week!

Unique Jewelry Organizers /Storage


Hello! Hope you had a happy Valentine weekend everyone! Thank you very much for your input on the lighting options. I think I may have a winner already and I can't wait to share it with you in the Master Closet reveal, which I hope will happen really soon! All I can say is that it's coming along really nicely! ;-)

Ok, on to another fun stuff regarding organizing closets, and jewelry for that matter!

I want to display some of my jewelry and use unique objects to do this.
 There are a lot of jewelry organizers and armoires out there, but I really want something different.

And what better way to be different than to look at all the fun alternatives out there - mainly in the Bath, Kitchen, Office and Entry areas of different stores!

Take  a look at these alternatives I came up with!




1) Key Holders  2) 2) Wall Hanging 3) Towel Bar 4) Desk Accessories 5) Metal Trivets 6) Soap Dish 7) Door/Wall Rack 8) Door knobs (one end or both side by side)  9) Curtain Tie Backs hung vertically  10) Beautiful knobs 11) Four bar Towel holder 12) Pot Lid Organizer   13) Flatware tray 14) Spice Containers

What do you think? Definitely fun and unique right?!

I'm still thinking on what to do with mine. But it's fun coming up with ideas and I'm happy to share them with you!

What about you? Any unique storage ideas I missed here?! Do share away!


Hope you have  a Great Week!
