My Jewelry Organizer

Last year I shared pictures of my Jewelry organizer in my closet on facebook.

Thought I share it with my other friends who aren't on Facebook. So here it is...


My Kikay Kit

I thought of this last summer when we got this IKEA laptop wall desk. I had my hubby attach it on the wall and then I added a GOLD RADIATOR SCREEN.

Necklaces and hanging earrings galore

I placed foam stickers (the one you apply on the feet of your furniture to help it slide easier?) on the corners  & and on the middle, under the screen to elevate it from the wall. Then I attached it to the wall using screws. I then used regular peg board hooks to hang my accessories - easy & adjustable.



Bracelets and Bangles on a tree

I got the bracelet tree from TJ Maxx for $12 years ago.


Earrings and special bracelets easy to view

To protect my earrings, I placed them individually inside clear acrylic boxes I bought on clearance from Crate and Barrel 2 years ago ($3 for 12 pcs.). I love that I can see them all and when I travel, easy to just pick and choose - no worries about scratches or tangling with my other accessories. :-)

More accessories

This desk came with a rubber string on which I hang my other bracelets. Boxes for other special accessories. The glass hand for the rings and other hoop earrings. My mom gave that to me 4 years ago, although 1 finger broke off already, I still use it. :-)

Metallic Antique Jewelry Box


Oooh, I love this box so much. I bought it at a flea market a year ago for $12 - I say, worth every penny . Just look at that detail! Inside it is grey velvet. In fact, I love it so much, I bought another similar one!! Hmmmm, another collection brewing on the horizon for me I think. :-)

Underneath this small nook, I have a small upholstered tufted stool in Ikat print bought at TJ Maxx too, ( on clearance for $25).

So now you know where I sit and put the final touches to my outfit! How about you, do you have a special spot for yourself as you get ready in the morning? What clever ways do you have for storing your jewelries?

Hope you get some idea on how to set-up yours if you haven't gotten to that yet!

Happy Labor day!

PS: Notice that I just started watermarking my photos? Heard a lot of scrapers are around waiting to pounce on posts without giving due credit to bloggers, so just wanted to start being careful.

  3. This looks so polished and perfect. I am trying to figure out a place for my accessories. I currently use those hanging pockets on both sides that hang on the bar in your closet. It is too difficult to easily have access to the small pieces. This was helpful.
