Stylish Organization

My jewelry is a mess. It's all thrown into a single drawer with no organization what so ever. When I want to accessorize it takes me a very frustrating minute to untangle or find a pair of my favorite little jewels. Here are some amazingly stylish ways to organize your jewelry. I just adore the first one with the burlap cloth and cabinet pulls - how creative is that!?!

I got all these photos from my new favorite source Pinterest!!!!

Stencil The Town

I have been dreaming of wall stencils lately, all I need to do is find the perfect spot in my house. Does this sound like my next DIY project? I love wallpaper but the cost of the ones I love are so out of my budget. A little sweat equity, paint and a pretty pattern will get you the same designer look for more than half the price. Really any pattern you can dream up they have it!!!!

Here are a few of my favorite stencils from some pretty amazing online sources....

Safely Home

A few of the pieces that I purchased at Round Top Antique Fair are nestled into there new home in my house. And the other pieces are still being worked on. I am re-wiring my alabaster lamp, and waiting on a friend to come hang my Egyptian Lantern.

Here are a few snapshots in our house right now...........

The crystal chandelier is my favorite and it originally was planned to hang on top of our staircase but we liked it so much it hangs above the dinning room table. I noticed it everyday right when I walk into the house, she softens the entire room.




My little landscape print in the antique frame is hung in our guest bedroom right above the nightstand.

Down the upstairs hallway I put the dresser and antique mirror. The dresser is very old and really not good for everyday use so we store our winter blankets and granny quilts in it.


My husband had this pitcher and basin from his grandmother and it looks perfect with the dark rustic dresser.


And finally my Japanese Calligraphy brushes are in this silver pitcher...

Here is a close up shot of the handles, one is made of bone with carvings and the middle one is jade.

Tufted

I am obsessed with these new gray tufted chairs at World Market, and they are on sale for a fabulous price of $99..........



Compare that price to the ones I have be eyeing at Restoration Hardware on sale right now for $299.........



Look how amazing the chairs would look in a dining room........
