I have rearranged all my costume jewelry to a spot where I see it each day--not far from the mirror where I put on my makeup. I've been wearing pieces I haven't worn in years, simply because it's out in full view.
I've been seeing metal wall art in the shape of trees and branches everywhere, and I got the idea to re-purpose one to display my jewelry. I took my time to find just the right one and I must admit it was the rhinestone leaves that made me choose this tree. It is from HomeGoods of course!
I'll show you some other bits in this little dressing area. The tiered tray was also a HomeGoods purchase from a few years ago.It has an eyelet look edge that is perfect for holding earrings. The little trays hold pins and miscellaneous jewelry.
This little necklace display piece is from a store called Whimsy in Morris, IL. I picked it up on my trip to the French Hens Market last year.
These two necklaces are costume jewelry from a thrift shop. I get just as much joy out of looking at them as I do from wearing them! The candlestick below was a Goodwill find. It seems perfect for this space.
The piece of furniture I picked up several years ago from the Grayslake Antique Market. The booth is called Rhubarb Reign. They always have beautiful things at very fair prices. It's hard to leave their booth without a purchase! I love all the cubbies and drawers for storage. The cubbies hold the fun stuff: more jewelry, recently worn scarves and belts, small purses, towels, makeup, etc... and the drawers hold the not so fun stuff: cleaning supplies, lonely socks, items to mend, etc...
It was lots of fun dressing up this area. I've had the little drawer unit for a year or two and I'm so glad I've finally topped it off with this wall art turned jewelry tree!
I can't resist all that pretty bling in the morning! Quite perfect for a girl who loves anything that sparkles, don't you think?

Especially loving the 3-tiered server used for jewelry--using the decorative eyelet to hang earrings is genius. Though not as beautiful as your set-up, I have found that having my jewelry out in/on repurposed storage really does help get more baubles into rotation.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful and like you said Art! and u can find things so easy.
ReplyDeleteYou made a pretty piece of wall art look even better- great idea!!! You are so right: if you can see your jewelry, you tend to wear it more.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love the bling..the sparkle makes it so much fun. this was a very creative project and you do have some beautiful pieces..
ReplyDeleteOMG! What a great post! Great idea.This looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
That is a very fun idea and post, thanks for sharing! Hugs Marilou
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and it just finishes the whole area.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the square thrift shop necklace. xx
The whole thing looks fantastic. I think you were very creative to use that wall art for a jewlery holder, and I think the cabinet looks both super useful and really cute. Good job and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are hanging your baubles. I keep mine out where I can see it always. Makes it easier to keep track of what I have and wear and like your's it is beautiful displayed for the eye to behold.
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
You are making me want to drag my jewelry out of my drawers and put it out now. That is such a great idea. I would probably wear it more if I saw it daily.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great display. I can see why you stop and pick out just the right piece each day.
ReplyDeleteEverything is clever and beautiful, but I have to admit that I am drooling over that wall tree... it is a work of art! And all that bling you've displayed just takes it over the top! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a bling girl myself, and I've got to say this is fabulous. What a lovely way to display the family jewels! LOL
ReplyDeletePatti
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWow! Fabulous idea. I thought I was really clever to use two tea towel holders to use to hang my necklaces, but this beat that! Love the idea of the tiered tray. I have one I'm not using and I happen to be reorganizing my jewelry. Now, I'm going to be on the look-out for one of those trees.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cute idea. My stuff is all in a cabinet but I love how it looks on display! HomeGoods is the best store lol. I often stay away just to keep myself from buying stuff. Do you keep that in your bathroom or bedroom?
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Oh My what a beautiful display...It looks like a Boutique Shop.. : )I just became a follower : )
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous way to display jewelry, Mary. Half the time, I forget what I have to choose from and just wear the same pieces over and over. I love the entire vignette you've created! ;)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you Wednesday night at the party.
Blessings,

Alice and Bridget, this jewelry tree is in my bedroom--when you enter the room to the left is a closet and sink area (also entry to the bathroom) and to the right is the bedroom proper. This vignette is the first thing you see when you enter the room!

Beautiful display - I love jewelry, and this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose are great ideas, I especially like the branch on the wall for necklaces. I did something similar with a real branch and frame recently, that I love (it's on my blog if you're interested in looking). Now I need a tiered stand for the rest! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethis is soo cute! I love how it looks so organized but scattered
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love displaying jewelry and incorporating it into my decor. You have a very lovely blog! I'm a new follower.
