Jewelry Organization

Just like I couldn't jump into the pantry organization all at once, I had to start with organizing the spice drawer, I can't jump headlong into organizing my master closet. It's just too overwhelming. The project involves sorting all of my clothes, donating the clothes that are too old or worn, putting the maternity clothes in a different closet (my eye is on the nursery closet, since the baby doesn't have much hanging), and then organizing the clothes that do fit and look nice.

Step one was organizing the jewelry trays. When we built this house, we ordered our kitchen cabinets from one manufacturer, the bathroom cabinets from another (master bath, guest bath, powder room and kids), and we built the laundry room cabinets for Ikea ourselves. The cabinet dealer for the bathrooms had some extra closet pieces that didn't fit correctly for the client who had ordered them, so he offered them up to us, as long as we could pick them up. The two pieces, as you can see, are slightly different widths and have different things going on with the drawers, but they were free! Plus one was white and the other bisque, so we had to paint them.

Mine (on the right), has two slide out trays. Previously I had been taking apart my jewelry box and just putting things in willy-nilly. Now, all the cute (not fancy) stuff is out there, encouraging me to wear it. Plus I cleaned up the bottom shelf as well. Progress!
