~An Accessory for Your Accessories~
~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)
-Craft paint/ Primer / paintbrush (Folk Art craft paint in Seamist)
- 5 knobs (Anthropologie)
-Burlap the size of frame opening
-Natural Jute (Hobby Lobby)
Tools Used
-Drill
-Hot glue gun
-Hammer
-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!*

I love that you can create with a baby on your lap!! Such a great project. I love anything that can be used to organize. The Anthro knobs add some great pops of color!

Love this! Love the color and the knobs. My necklaces and earrings would really appreciate this as they are kind of crowded on the hooks I have. That's for showing this!
Great project!

That's absolutely beautiful! You did a fantastic job. The great thing is, I think I could do something like that as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog last week. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to return the favor. I'd been having Internet issue. If you plan to post something for Wordless or Wordfilled Wednesday tomorrow, I'd love for you to stop by and link your post up on my linky. :)

I made something kinda like this in college using a gold frame (blinging gold thats gotta go asap) and needlepoint mesh...but now am thinking I'll redo it with this in mind! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! It turned out so great. I love the color you chose and the knobs are perfect. BTW, you got a vote from me.
How adorable! I would love to make something like that for my jewelry collection!

This is so adorable! I love everything about it - especially the knobs! It's so unique but amazingly cute!
This is so cute! I love that you gave us such a clear tutorial.
I knew I recognized those knobs from Anthropologie!
By the way, the shots of you holding the baby and painting at the same time are probably the cutest thing in the world. You're both gorgeous!

I want this. I think this project is going to be in my near future. :) I've seen it before, but thanks for the reminder!
Your hardware is adorable though...and you have picked a very popular color this year--in decor land so you will see lots of adorable stuff out there.
