Jewelry Storage Issues Solved
I've blogged about creative ways to store and hang jewelry before - it seems to be an ongoing issue with me! I just can't seem to find a good way to store my necklaces without having them get tangled up or a way to display my earrings so I can see what I actually have. I stumbled across a bunch of jewelry stands, cute bowls, and figurines via Urban Outfitters and love the wide variety they offer. What do you you do with your jewelry? Please share any creative tips!

Stylish Storage & Display Solutions
I'm always looking for new ways to store things in the one-bedroom apartment my husband and I share. Instead of stuffing things away into a closet or behind closed doors, there are endless ways to creatively display your things with open storage. Here are some inspirational ideas and tips I found via Home & Gardens...
Interesting objects grouped together create an eclectic display. The bold blue creates a striking backdrop and the mirror creates a sense of space.
"Use shelves displaying a carefully balanced collection of treasures to create symmetry. Wallpaper, Josette in Charcoal/Duck Egg, Laura Ashley. Paint on shelves, Down Pipe, Farrow & Ball."
"Botanical-style painted china looks beautiful displayed against this sketchy wallpaper design and creates a vintage look with a subtle contemporary edge. Wallpaper from the Cecil Beaton fabric collection at Beaudesert, plates from a selection at Vessel and Laura Ashley."
"Use an eye-catching wallpaper behind shelving to instantly update a cupboard and add a decorative flourish. Calligraphy wallpaper from Lewis & Wood."
"In the corner of the room, stack up rattan baskets to keep odds and ends in one place. Displaying accessories in luminous shades will add contrast and texture, and create an eye-catching area. The baskets are from Mikkelsen."
"A large painted dining table, with intimate, low-level lighting overhead and casual bistro-style chairs, forms the focal point of the kitchen. Vintage dining table, Castle Gibson, chairs, The French House."
"White china is often difficult to display. Here, the green wall offsets the pieces beautifully, while the rusted metal shelving adds a contemporary look. Etno shelving unit, The Conran Shop."
"Sheets of mirrored glass can be placed behind shelving to add depth a interest to a room. For alcove shelving the wall must be totally flat. Glass inserts from Preedy Glass, bookshelf from IKEA."
"Applying a strip of colour to a single wall, a section of wall or the whole room will help with the choice of bedlinen and other soft furnishings."
"Antique china stacked in a distressed cupboard along with seashore finds creates a relaxed, maritime feel. An over-sized floral pint wallpaper keeps the look modern and feminine."
"A minimalist kitchen needs plenty of storage space to keep surfaces clean and streamlined. Integrated cupboards with sliding doors offer floor-to-ceiling storage and makes the most of awkward spaces."
