Jewelry drawer... Before and After!

I have a little bit of a problem.... I have way too much jewelry. I cant help it. I have a pretty plain and basic wardrobe so I dress it up with my jewelry. I have a jewelry armoire in the guest room with my classic pieces that I don't wear as much and my keepsake jewelry. I keep things in there like my class rings, pearls, etc.

So, in the bedroom I have a drawer dedicated to my jewelry I wear often. I have a lot of random pieces from all over and I sell Lia Sophia jewelry so I have tons of it too! It was a total mess. All of my necklaces were tangled up. I couldn't find half of my earrings, you get the point. I have been meaning to organize this drawer but never got around to it. The other day, I was at Michaels and they had jewelry organizers on sale 60% off. It was a sign from God, telling me to clean my crap up.

I got 3 organizer trays and went to town. In theory, I could have used another drawer but I have to put my clothes somewhere. I was happy the way it turned out. I actually don't mind picking out my jewelry now. Its like a display piece, I would keep my drawer open if I wasn't so OCD!

Burlap Planter

Looking for something cute to jazz up your front porch? I was so I decided to get my crafty pants on and do something different. I came up with this super cute burlap tub that can change with the seasons.

Materials needed:

Galvanized steel tub from your local farm supply store, different sizes
Burlap material from fabric store
Stencils
Paint
Glue Gun
Whatever decoration you want in your tub

First step is to cut the burlap to the appropriate length and width to wrap around the tub. Then I place the stencil I want to use on the burlap and paint. After the paint has dried, I attach it to the planter with the glue gun. And.... that's it. Not too difficult.

Since it was winter, I filled it with pine cones. You can change it our with the seasons. Leaves in the fall, grass and eggs for the spring, etc. Super quick and easy décor!
