jewelry as art?!

Pretty jewelry should be shown off and you should have beautiful art hanging in your bedroom. And, just like that you have jewelry as art!

Framing art is a great idea. Pair similar frames in a row or vary the frames to create an eclectic look. Simply take the backing and glass out of a frame and you have an instant jewelry frame. Use pretty, long push pins to hang your art and you are all set!

Even better, as shown here, you can group like pieces together (creating color blocks) or put jewelry together as you might wear it. You can even play around with different set ups and that will instantly change your art and might help you create new jewelry pairings.

Love it!

Happy decorating.

fun find to hold jewelry

If you've been reading my blog you know that I love a great find; something unique that looks pretty and serves a function.

I've been looking for new ways to hold/display my jewelry and today I found a fun piece at our local Good Will.

I'm not sure what its original purpose was (it folds up into itself into one neat little compartment — does anyone know what it is?), but I thought it would make a neat display for a few necklaces and bracelets on my dresser top.

What do you think? What do you use to display/store your jewelry? There's a closet overhaul in my home project book and then I intend to make a hanging board for many pieces, but until then, and maybe even when that happens, this works nicely now (until my little girls find it that is)!

Happy decorating!
