Jewelry Box- Tray (same thing)!

What do you know, I finally found what I was looking for, and it was right in my kitchen.



Remember my tray that I was oh so pleased to have found at the thrift store.


And how well it has served me...


Well I was looking for something to keep my jewelry in, and remember the cute jewelry box I made over here, but gave it away!

Well, I've had this box since I was 14.


It was cute when I was 14, and held my jewels,


But I always had to shake my jewels to free them...


Until I was sitting on the chair in my kitchen looking around and I saw my silver tray on top my fridge, and BAM, there was my inspiration.


I think she looks like she belongs.


I didn't realize but my earrings fit perfectly, because I don't own any studs! 


And I own few bracelets.



And the tray is the right touch of glam for me.


Audrey thinks they fit nicely too.


I am happy my jewels have a safe (meaning high enough my daughters can't reach them) and separated (meaning no more jewel jiggling) home!


Where do you keep your jewels?

    I have a metal shelf with metal strips instead of a solid top. I hook my necklaces on the slats. I've got door knobs and drawer pulls mounted on the wall above the shelf. My bracelets hang on those. I love being able to see everything.

    I have the exact same Lia Sophia gold cuff bracelet :) I have a tall hook tree for necklaces but need something better like your fun tray idea for other things!

    I use a plate stand holder with plates that match my bathroom. I actually spray painted the holder. Love it!

    I love it...that looks so neat. I had to make me a frame with screen and drape hooks for my necklaces to hang on. They kept getting so messed up.

    Beautiful! I love the audrey print too! I keep my jewelry on a wire manequin. I love being able to see my jewelry out. Rather than tangled up in my box. ;-) thanks for linking up at Trendy Treehouse.
