New jewelry system: One step closer to completing my closet

As I mentioned before, I’ve been working diligently to create my dream closet and I’m not going to post photos of it until it meets all of my closet needs in an ascetically pleasing manner. That being said, I’m one step closer to being finished now that I’ve ordered these from Etsy:

They’re vintage button thumb tacks and I’m going to use them on a cork board to hang some of the jewelry that I wear most often (and to inspire myself to remember to accessorize). I’m hoping this will be a beautiful and efficient way to display my jewelry so that it’s easily accessible as I’m putting together outfits. If you like this idea, check out these other cute, homemade thumb tacks from Etsy.

As you may remember from this blog post, I use jewelry holders from Urban Outfitters (pictured below) to store the bulk of my jewelry.

That worked fairly well for me when I had a nice nook in the wall of my old apartment to display large jewelry holders, but I don’t have the same designated nook in my new place. Unfortunately, in the new apartment, my jewelry holders have become an afterthought in our decor, tucked away in one of our storage closets, only to be forgotten about when I’m deliriously getting ready for the day at 6 in the a.m. (I’m NOT a morning person). Hopefully, my new hanging jewelry system will prove to be more efficient.

Unfortunately, my new system doesn’t give me any ideas for what to do with my watch and my rings at the end of the day. Do you have any ideas? What system do you use to display your jewelry?
