Jewellery storage solution for growing collection

Majority of my jewellery collection lived in my bathroom draw. I have a large jewellery box, but lets be honest even a large jewellery box typically does not hold very much. After a year of creating my own pieces I had so many choices, but I was wearing the same pieces over and over - those being the ones I could grab easily.

Searching for an alternative, I came across a groovy solution. This would be a perfect addition to my bedroom. Alas Armoire is not available in Australia, not that I could find. Shame it looks like it would store a lot. It also came with a hefty price tag. My solution cost less than $110.

I once had a flatmate who stored her collection in clear containers. At the time I thought that was a bit over the top. That idea was now appealing. I headed out on a shopping mission to Lincraft.

On my way to Lincraft I passed Decor Plus and couldn't resist popping in for just a minute. On the top shelf I spotted something that made my heart beat a little faster. I'm sure others saw a lovely white candle lantern. I saw lots of rows to hang my many earrings.

A large wooden tree was an awesome score from Decor Plus (only $50). It holds many of my longer necklaces. I have a plan for my shorter necklaces but that might have to be a DIY tutorial for another day.

A (not so quick) bathroom cupboard sort and purge was soon followed by organisation that has proved to be wonderful.

Lincraft helped with a few more inexpensive bits and pieces. I found a cone thingy that holds my bangles.

I love the new set up. It has proved very helpful. I started wearing a variety of jewellery pieces again, including those that I had made myself. Last week I received many compliments on my jewellery. It surprised a few people when I replied with 'thanks I made it myself'.

The storage makeover cost $106.88. A very reasonable price for being able to find & wear my pieces easily. How do you store your jewellery collection? What changes do you long to make?
