I've been wanting to hang my necklaces for quite a while. Are clear pushpins the best way to go? Does anyone have any suggestions for neutral/metallic pushpins that are a little more ornate? I don't like the hook idea, I think the hooks are too big.
Perfume lovers know that perfume should never be stored in full light. Keep your perfumes in a cool, dark place if you treasure them.
I'd like to get more ideas for my bracelets.
Perfumes are going to be toast.
I would like to artfully display my perfumes but when I put them on my dresser they just look like clutter. I guess it is better for them to have them hidden away from the light in my drawer. Oh well. I love decor AND perfume. Maybe they don't mix.
I did this when I was in high school and didn't have a jewelry box. I liked it for a while but I had dust problems that were a huge pain so it wasn't worth it for me. I used clear push pins and they worked perfectly.
I hang my necklaces from a half bird cage, that was on a Neiman Marcus gift I got sometime in my teens--It is black metal and has little curly-cues that work great for necklaces. I am now in my 50s and I have used it every place I have lived. Easy to see the necklaces and keeps them from getting tangled.
I stack my bracelets on the wrist of a vintage china hand that was used in glove manufacturing. I hang the more delicate ones from the fingers, too. I ran out of space, so I also made myself one out of a few inches of white plumbing pipe and a scrap of wood. I stack the bracelets on that, too.
Necklaces I hang from a sort of accordion thing that is supposed to hold mugs, I think. But I'm going to switch to using s hooks and an Ikea Grunthal hanging rack.
@mschatelaine Perfumes and spices. But we're wasting our breath. People will do what people will do.
When I had a bathroom with a big, glued-to-the-wall mirror (one of the first things designers get rid of when redoing a bathroom, replacing it with a smaller, hanging mirror), I took a bunch of suction cup hooks and hung up all my necklaces on it. Looked really cool and occupied a bunch of dead space.
Funny, I saw this post yesterday and thought, that would be cool, but all those necklaces on the wall would look way more organized inside a big, empty frame. Soooo....I just found the funkiest frame while thrifting today! But, er, it has a print of The Last Supper inside it, which got me a couple of odd looks as I was carrying it home. ;) Now I just need some pushpins.
I hung necklaces a few years ago in a frame in my dressing closet, got tons of compliments and it was a great tangle free way to store my jewlery. Instead of push pins (which I don't think are heavy enough to hold up most costume jewlery) I used decorative carpet tacks. I found a small bag at HomeDepot that were gold and vintage looking and all for under $5. They were sturdy and could hold a few necklaces each. Hope this helps!
ARGHHH! The word ARTFUL does NOT mean ARTISTIC, or ARTSY, or anything happy!!!!! It means SNEAKY AND SLY, like the ARTFUL DODGER!!!! This word SO often gets misused, and so often on this web site, that I cannot help but resort to all caps and exclamation points!!!! Is there an editor in the house???
Loving! I remember hanging my jewelry this way when I had my little apartment in Brooklyn! I'll definitely be sharing on my blog. My clients will love it!
