Another Stylish Jewelry Storage Solution

I found this beautiful little birbath at Michael's craft store on Monday. It was only $5.09 + tax. It looks adorable on the counter in my bathroom. Even my husband likes it. (If his watch or ring end up in it...I will have to smile.)

Always be on the lookout for items that you like that you can re-purpose in your home. Think outside the box.

Buy things you like & that make you smile.

That is the one piece of shopping advice from my mom that I always think of before I buy, "Does this make me smile??"

Well, this birdbath is still making me smile!

Stylish Jewelry Storage

I made this jewelry board that now hangs in my guest room. It doubles as art work.













How I did it: Purchased a bulletin board from TJ Maxx that had a nice thick frame. ($20)

• Found a piece of fabric that I liked from JoAnn Fabrics and purchased enough fabric to cover the board.
  
• Unscrewed the back of the frame.
  
• Removed the cork board.
• Placed the fabric around the cork board, pulling the fabric snug on every side.
  
• Taped the fabric to the back of the cork board.
  
• Placed the covered cork board back inside the frame.
• Screwed the back of the frame back into place.
  
• Used quilting pins to hang my jewelry from.

My guests enjoy this option for displaying & storing their jewelry during their stay at my home. It is nice to feel organized even at another person's home.

Here is another picture of a Jewelry Board.  My mom and I made this one & used cloth napkins instead of traditional fabric. 

I found the following idea on Martha Stewart.com.  

So maybe you aren't into statues...think of objects that you already have in your home that would keep your pearls, chains and costume jewelry from tangling! Get creative. Look around your home and try unconventional pieces to display all your pretty things.


It is important to have a functional home, but who says you can't have beauty & function?? Whenever I buy anything for my home, I always try to find something that is pretty as well as useful.
