Pretty ideas for storing jewelry & belts
I was shopping at a small boutique recently and noticed how pretty they displayed their jewelry and belts. They used different style bowls and tiered containers making it look so pretty, I wanted to buy everything. I thought it was such a good idea, I came home and used the same concept for my own jewelry and belts.
The first thing I got was this hanging thing at Homegoods, {don’t know what it is called} I thought it would be a great way to hang my necklaces
And it was. Now they don’t get tangled and I can easily see what I have.
Then I found some pretty bowls in different sizes. One for my watches {the thing I wear the most as you can see by how many I have}
and one for my bracelets
Then just for the fun of it, I added an Anthropologie bowl to my tray of lotions to hold a few nail polishes
For my belts, I picked up two of the these tiered stands at Homegoods. It takes seconds to roll the belts and lay them into the tray.
I think the tiered tray for my belts is my favorite. By having them in view like this, I can quickly choose which belt I want.
Here is one from Sav-on Crafts that looks similar to what I used
Agate in your home
Have you noticed the agate trend? It’s everywhere in home furnishings. I like the movement of agate but in small doses. I could not live with this countertop on a daily basis, could you? Way too much movement for me. {I’ll take two of those light fixtures please!}
But I do love how agate looks as bookends
And in lamps
Or framed art
I think the use of agate in this bathroom is my all time favorite. Even though it is not fitting into my small doeses theme , I think it is stunning
You could get a small dose of this look via Anthropologie
Those knobs were $14 each and just went on sale for $2.95. I bet they sell out fast.
What is your take on the agate trend? Love it or leave it?
Velvet tufted headboard finally done
It has only been a year and a half, but I finally got my inspiration headboard done for Shannon and Nate’s guest bedroom.
This picture was my inspiration picture I found back in October 2010
I was so excited when I found the same shaped headboard on Craig’s list for $60
I knew this headboard would work perfectly for my inspiration picture. But I needed to find the perfect fabric. When I saw this Thom Flicia turquoise velvet fabric at Calico Corners I was in love.
The color was a perfect match for the room, so I quickly ordered the fabric and anticipated it’s arrival to start this project.
So what took me so long to actually make the headboard? Getting the fabric. First it was back ordered, then out of stock and then lost in transit for 9 months. I didn’t think I was ever going to finish this project! {nor did Shannon and Nate, their guest room sat with a blank wall behind the bed the whole time I was waiting for this fabric} I was so set on using this fabric so I just waited, and waited and waited…but it was so worth the wait!
It turned out just as I had imagined, and just finishes off the room {the damask drapes are from Anthropologie}
Oh, so worth the wait right? My grandson Carter even can’t stop staring at it
