For years, I’ve kept all of my jewelry crammed into a jewelry box on my dresser where it all somehow gets tangled and lost, and it’s constantly a heaping mess. I was determined to get it organized and beautiful and for as cheaply as possible (’cause that’s always how I roll).
Stylish, no? Ahoy, matey! It could actually be cute in the right room, but nautical seems out of place in my house.
I bought that sailboat picture at Goodwill for $2 because I liked the frame. And the wood piece was just a scrap leftover from our bathroom window makeover.
After ripping out the picture and removing the glass from the frame, I used my tried and true frame distressing technique. I didn’t have any Vaseline this time around, but since we’re in the depths of cold season, a little chest rub did the job. Always look for the bright side, right?
I used my manual staple gun to secure the wire around the frame.
Would you even believe I’d forgotten all about that pretty jade necklace that was shoved into the back of my jewelry box before? Finding accessories in a hurry is going to be so much easier now than pawing through a tangled mess of it.
Looks awesome Lauren!!
Thanks love!
This is my kind of project! I love turning thrift store items into awesome home decor pieces and your jewelry organizer turned out beautifully. I’m loving all your jewelry too!
Thanks girl! Same here. Nothing beats a good thrift store upcycle. š
Great idea! Love how it looks in your bathroom!
Thank you, Laurie!

Really great use of odds and ends around the house. Love this! I think it adds a lot of character to that wall.
Thanks, Rachel! I do too. Love that it has some personality. š
I think it is so funny that you used chest rub because you were out of Vaseline. Way to make do! Now it is scented, too. Adds a “little something” don’t you think? š
Haha It’s scented but I drew the line at making it pink. š Sorry, Elle Woods.
Oh my goodness! This is the cutest project ever!!! I totally need to make this, but one question…where do you keep your hand towel if your jewelry is taking up the wall next to the sink?!
Thanks girl! Our hand towels are beside the other sink since it’s a double vanity.
This is so great!! My bathroom (or my side I should say) is set up just like your’s and this gives me so much inspiration to finally get my jewelry organized too! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it, Amanda! It’s so nice seeing all of those accessory options right in front of me now.
Adorable! Hope you had a great week š
Thanks, Karen! And I did. Thank you so much for taking over for me last week. š
I love this! And thanks for the link to your barnwood staining method – gonna be pinning that for sure! I love those knobs on your jewelry hanger – perfect touch š
Thank you, Kirsten! I’m hooked on that staining method. It’s so easy I don’t know if I’ll ever buy the store stain again.
So cute and fun, Lauren! Love this!

I love your Jewelry organizer, and your bathroom looks awesome. Great job on both counts.
I love the card file look.
Thank you! So glad I don’t have to dig through a tangled mess in a jewelry box anymore.
I have been looking at all your projects ALL afternoon and my husband is rolling his eyes at my excitement! Lol I love this idea but have one question. What did you decide to do with your studded earrings?
Haha! Thank you, Kelly! I just have a small keepsake box on my dresser that I keep my studs in.
