Blueprint…
This topic has been discussed many times, just search “jewelry display home decor” and you’ll find a lot of images and blog posts, but it just never seems to get old, to me anyway. Over the years I’ve collected bunches of images and I am always so happy whenever I stumble upon them again.

Finding these photos once again inspired me to do something worth while on my day off. Which was to finish painting the last quarter of my bedroom and to organize the top of my dresser. I kept putting it off, the painting part for months because I would have paint behind my dresser. It’s quite the behemoth of a bureau, but with the extra willpower I felt especially strong and decided to finish the job.

Along with organizing my jewelry and frames, I added the elephant lamp which was a purchase made this summer. I couldn’t find the right lampshade for the longest time, until last week when on another day off (gotta love those floating holidays) I was able to go to this small shade store on Lexington Ave. – Lexington Lampshades is the name. I searched for months trying to find an affordable shade, preferably less expensive than what I paid for the lamp itself, but the issue with this one was that I wanted a 10″, pagoda style shade. Apparently that size is hard to come by and typically expensive. Luck found me though, shop owner cut me a deal. The total price of the lamp, shade and finial ended up costing me $90.00. Not too bad all things considered.

How do you keep your jewelry?
Hi, I was wondering, does your boyfriend ever feel like the apt is too feminine for him or do you two discuss about all the decorating before you do it, is their ever a compromise ? I like the space alot !
Hi Sandy,
Thanks for reading, that’s a great question. Luckily, my boyfriend doesn’t mind too much. For somethings I have discussed with him what he thinks, but overall I try to keep him in mind while decorating. For example, the color in the bedroom is a warm grey with a hint of purple. It definitely is more feminine than how I had previously decorated it, and more feminine than the rest of the apartment. But I make a point to include things that he thinks are “cool,” like putting up some of his music and band posters- nicely framed of course. I also gave him the idea to make a comic book library where he can stow all of his comics. Lastly, we include pieces of furniture that are in his design vocabulary, that he also enjoys building ie. the desk and our hamper that is on the way.
By the way, this comment gave me an idea to do post on all of these little details that I have included for him. Thanks again Sandy!
Loved the pictures and ideas. You have motivated me to think about being more creative with my jewelry which is thrown into a jewelry box that my father bought my mother many years ago. Don’t like the little stand up box that looks like a monitors bureau, but it has sentimental value. Maybe I will put it away for awhile and find other containers and fun ways to store what I have. TY
Thanks your post has given me some ideas about jewlery display. As someone recently commented, all containers for miscellaneous items can be attractive.
Do you use Pinterest at all, Lauren? The site is billed as a place to catalogue the things you love and is a place to “pin” things that you find online – I use it mostly for recipes but I could see you using it as a place to create design inspiration boards. http://pinterest.com/
Hey M,
I don’t actually. I saw that you do and I think it’s cool but alas I’m too lazy to get into yet another online thing. I’ve been thinking about doing it for quite a while now, we’ll see if i can get into it!
Thanks for sharing my photos! I love your finished result – there’s tons of personality and visual interest!
Thanks Jane, your jewelry display organizer is so beautiful and well made, I had to post it!
Oh my god! an amazing article dude. Thank you However I am experiencing issue with ur rss . Don’t know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting identical rss problem? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thnkx
Hi Breanna,
I’ve been trying to sort out this issue. Since I work on my website myself, I’ve been researching how to get this issue solved. The first issue was that it used to link back to my old wordpress afilliated blog, so maybe if you try to re-sign up for my rss you might be getting my updates. Please let me know!
Thanks for reading!
