Picture Perfect Organization

Okay so cold weather will be approaching soon and on those long dark days you need creative things to do and what better than to get creative with projects around the house! I know, you are probaly thinking I’m crazy but I personally get motivated to clean and get organized when fun projects are involved! Was trying to organize the clutter in my house the other day and was wondering what would be a creative way to store jewlery other than piled in a box or getting tangled hanging from a hanger in the closet and I happened to run across a really creative idea on Pinterest that I couldn’t wait to try! The project seemed perfect! it was neat and organized and would add to the room and could be designed to match the color theme you needed not to mention it was simple looking to design and build and overall the materials needed didn’t seem that expensive. So the next day I was out the door with my supplies list ready to go! I bought a few picture frames at Homegoods, a few yards of material at JOANNs Fabric ( you can choose any pattern or color of your choice) Then headed to Home Depot where I got cork board for backing and pretty cystal knobs to hang the jewlery from and it didn’t hurt my wallet.

After the shopping was done I was home to spray paint the frames the color of my choice and of course I chose classic white but you can do any color your heart desires! I saw a few pictures online of green ones, pink ones, etc but I decided to stick with simple white. Stapled the material around the cork and stuck in the frame, then added knobs and hooks and done! Hung on the wall and organized my jewlery and was relieved to have the clutter gone, my room look pretty and actually be able to find what I was looking for a whole lot easier! This was just one project I resently did but I have built other ideas to organize and store many things in my house and you too can get creative and enjoy doing a project to help elimanate any excess clutter and give you a simple project to do on a dreary weekend. Hope my idea gets you thinking of ways to store anything you need to and definatly check out online for other great storage ideas!
