Girly Organization

Many months ago, a couple of you asked how I organize my jewelry.  I don't have the best system but it works for me.  I may have more jewelry than the average person so this might not work for you.

You may have seen all the cute ways to display necklaces on Pinterest and while cute, I have too many necklaces for most of those ideas.

Here's what my necklaces look like with just a necktie-type hanger with a hook:


Earrings/chunky bracelets/delicate necklaces:




What it looks like altogether...this sits atop of the armoire that was given to me when my gramma passed away.  Inside it holds rings, pins, expensive necklaces and bracelets that I wear on often.


Perfume/Sprays/Lotions are held on a mirrored tray:


Makeup brushes on the vanity:



My makeup is organized in plastic drawers by type.  I bought the blue drawers during back-to-school season and cost $1-2 at Wal~Mart.



Makeup palettes are kept in the wicker basket drawers:


Finally, nail polish.  I did find this on Pinterest so this is how I store/display mine:


All of this stuff encompasses my bathroom. Our house isn't the most space-efficient but I do my best.  As much as I love the idea of having a minimalist home, when it comes to girly stuff, I fail miserably.  Plus I live with a pack rat who I'm trying to reform but it's a slow process.  At least he's willing.

omg - you have so much stuff! I don't know where I'd put that much stuff.
I have one necklace that I wear pretty much daily, same earrings daily (I have sensitive ears, so I can't wear much of what's out there), rarely wear bracelets... makeup is so infrequently that I can keep it all in a small little makeup bag along with brushes. I'm so the opposite of you!
