~An Accessory for Your Accessories~

Accessories can make a room a decorating masterpiece, or a complete disaster. Whether fun, pulled-together, eclectic, or classy, the accessories effect and portray the living, breathing, personality of the room. It is no different when an outfit is coordinated. The earrings, necklaces, brooches, or rings tell whether I am flirty and playful, or dark, sultry, and sophisticated. The perfect accessory for your room, can also be perfect for organizing your jeweled accessories.  

 

Using burlap, natural jute, cabinet hardware, and an open-back frame, I created an earring & necklace holder that will match my shabby chic, turquoise, bedroom.

 

The frame was primed, painted using a "white-wash" technique, and antiqued with sandpaper to add definition to the edges. 

 

I measured and drilled five holes in the bottom portion of the frame for the hardware. I used a combination of hardware styles, all of which can be found at Anthropologie. My personal favorite is the turquoise rose that is in the center of the piece.

Item List (what I used is in parenthesis)

-Open back picture frame (Hobby Lobby -11x14)

-Natural Jute (Hobby Lobby)

Tools Used

-Drill

-Hot glue gun

-Sandpaper

Total Cost - $42
*A little side note about the cost: The hardware from Anthropologie really added up...if I hadn't been on a time crunch I would have waited to buy it on sale/ checked ebay/ found antique hardware. Look around! This could easily be done for less with a little time and  effort!*
