Fleur-de-Organization

Being a self-confessed shopaholic, I have a lot of clothing, shoes, and accessories. After some serious thought and brainstorming, I have found a way to neatly store MOST of my items. I have over-the door organizers and coat racks, shoe racks, about 15 Wonder Hangers, a scarf hanger (yes it truly does exist), and hanging shelves in my closet. The one thing I did not have organized was my jewelry. I had all my necklaces and earrings in individual baggies inside a little plastic tub. Talk about a hassle--but this was probably the easiest way to store them for college. However, now that I am at home I wanted a better way.

After countless searches for a jewelry organizer that I liked, I finally decided to just make my own. Let me just say that this was WAY easier said than done. Since I am not that handy with tools I enlisted my dad's help and headed to Home Depot. I'm not going to list everything I bought or the steps involved but if anyone wants them just let me know and I will gladly share.

Total I probably spent about $30-40 to make this organizer. Which I feel is a reasonable price for it. I am so happy with the result and couldn't wait to hang everything up and show it to you

The light in my room is red/pink hence the pink tone on the wall

Grey walls--which is the actual color of my room

Much love,
