I Updated my Jewellery Organisation...again

Firstly, I'd like to say I realise I am a bad blogger and my updates are less frequent these days, however I plan to get on top of it and get some updates out there at least weekly.

Some of you may remember that a while ago I did a post about jewellery storage, for those of you that don't, you can find it here.

Well a few nights ago, at around 2am, when I really should have been sleeping in preparation for my alarm going off at 7.30 am, I decided to move all my jewellery round.

I have so much more space in my room, as sadly my Mr moved out last Friday, we have lived together for the last 16 months, and nothing bad happened, we're still together, we didn't fight, it's just he was temporally living with me until a room became available in another house, which it has. It was sad times, and we really miss living together already, it's so hard to adapt after waking up to him every day for so long!

Anyway, I now have so much more space now that all his belongings are no longer here. When we initially moved in together I had a massive, and I mean massive clear out to make room in my wardrobes/chest of drawers etc for him, which was very hard for me to do...I have so much stuff.

So now with a few shelves free, which have had his clothes resting on them for so long, I decided that it would be a much better way for me to organise my costume jewellery.

Up until the wee small hours of Wednesday morning, my costume/junk jewellery was stored in two mini sets of drawers in a drawer in my dressing table, like so...

This method is all well and good as far as neatness is concerned (from the outside anyway), but once inside, it's hard to see everything, and you have to go routing through to find something you want to wear, exhibit A:

And now, exhibit B:

And C:

I'm not the type of person that likes having things out on table tops, ie. jewellery stands, make up, make up brushes etc. I like it all to be away and tidy, so the fact I can have all this out on display so that it's easy to see but it's all inside my wardrobe pleases me...I could never have jewellery stands full of necklaces on my dressing table, I feel like it's messy, it's a weird OCD I have, so please forgive me.

My expensive jewellery is stored in a mirror jewellery box that sits on my dressing table. My new jewellery organisation makes me happy, and now I have a whole big drawer in my dressing table empty...Hmmm what to fill it with?!

Loves,

Updated Jewellery Storage/Organisation

My jewellery collection is a bit out of control. I have so much of the stuff, that it was all just everywhere, I had stuff just thrown into drawers/baskets all mixed in together, so it was quite hard to know where anything was without searching through it all.

Here are some pictures of my jewellery storage before:

Main mirrored jewellery box that sits on my dressing table:

Earrings & a few of my rings.

Mish-mash of stuff, but mainly bracelets.

Necklaces.

Smaller mirrored box, which also sits on my dressing table:

This sort of became my overflow box, the stuff I was wearing on a day to day basis, and when I took it off at night, I would throw it in here.

Drawer in my dressing table which housed everything else:

So today I decided to get some decent storage so I can separate bracelets from necklaces for example. I just went to Poundland as they do an array of great storage and this is how it ended up after:

Two sets of drawers which are great for putting everything separately.

Drawer 1: Earrings

Drawer 2 & 3: Bracelets

Set of drawers 2. Drawer 1: Dainty necklaces

Drawer 2: Chunkier necklaces (I've just realised that I've forgotten to photograph the third drawer, but it's got beaded necklaces in).

Purple jewellery box houses my more expensive jewellery.

The smaller mirrored box now stores my more expensive watches:

My bangles have gone from being loose in the drawer to this big plastic storage box, which has to now live under my bed because I just haven't got any more room!

And finally, as I've shown you before, this is my cocktail ring storage:

So there we have it, I'm sorry for the picture heavy post. It still may look really cluttered to you, but trust me, it should be a lot easier now having all the bracelets together, all the bangles together and so on. I think it's the best I'm going to get it, because I have so much.

How do you store yours? Am I the only person with so many different storage items going on for jewellery?! 

If you want me to go into any more detail about anything, or want to see a specific part of my collection, let me know.

Loves,
