Organising: Jewellery

Some of us can pay thousands for a custom designed jewellery organiser/organisation system. But most of us... well. Can't. But I love seeing some of us have gotten creative with it.

Just some inspiration for organising those littlies:


Easy peasy done... take the backs from old gilt dressing table trays and thread wire through at intervals! Picture this sprayed a lovely bright yellow enamel!

I must say, this one I do like. Inspired by George Nelson's drawers, Angie's hacked Ikea and come up with a really good compromise! One for the projects for me.

For those of us who have room in our bedrooms for a dressmaker's mannequin, this makes a stunning feature.

Vintage egg trays are great for storing earrings and rings...

And my own solutions:

Inspired by Decor Amor's jewellery organising post, I started a while ago collecting pretty small dishes and nipping from my dinnerware collection some quaint pieces. Have started to use them too. (Master bedroom reveal soon.)


These French-inspired wire frames for holding photos and letters and cards. I got one on impulse (clearance!) a year ago intending to display some cards and photos. I found it bent my precious photos, disappointed, it was abandoned. After I painted and organised Hannah's room soon after moving, I needed something for Hannah's growing motley collection of hair pretties, brooches, necklaces and bracelets. Walah!

New Releases at Room To Grow!

I featured Room To Grow a few months ago and kind director Lilach Weineiger sent me a lovely gift! (Thanks again!) It now hangs in my study in the new home (will feature the study when its ready) :)

Room To Grow was the first to carry Krooom's sexy range, but now you readers in the US can get it from Barnes and Nobles! The few French readers I have can go to Tropico and Hipercor in Spain.

Just to reiterate, Room To Grow/Krooom's products are made from reinforced cardboard recycled material (at least 60% post consumer waste). So go green! No chlorine bleaches and hazardous dyes used, only water based glues and a special UV coating. Done with the item? Recycle it again!

I love the funky and fun designs... suitable for the serious man, the moody teen, the funky designer and even the fun-loving little one! I love their toybox and the Maggie storage bookcase to match the lovely black and white damask Delta I got from lovely Lilach! On casters too! GREAT movable closet! Hmmm.



I think best of all these gorgeous things are so sturdy!

Lilach sent me an email two weeks ago letting me know about their new July 2008 range! Sorry Lilach, only now getting headspace to action some emails for the blog!

I love the new Manooo wall organiser! Perfect for kitchen, dressing area, children's room and the hallway. Pretty and fresh to the everyday mundane. :)



And of course, beneath the Manooo, have the Austin sideboard! Great for the hallway, these two things! One for your pickup-ables, and the other for the ubiquitous umbrella, vase, bags, scarves and berets. Great for newspapers and even the Yellowpages.

Wardrobe organising

Organising scarves and hats and gloves is something we girls (and some boys) think about. Now that I have the space in my bedroom to even THINK about organising them instead of throwing the into a basket box and stuffing into the corner of the badly-planned built in...

Ikea is the current winner. At only $10, the Komplement is the easiest choice to organise scarves, gloves and hats. But it's bulky in the small boxy walk-in robe. And when they are all in the organiser hanging next to my clothes, it looks... kinda unorganised!

I am thinking about getting a vintage ladder... since a organiser tray takes up valuable space for folded clothes.

Any ideas? What do you do?
