7 Pretty, Practical Jewelry Organizing Ideas
<b>By <span>Lisa Frederick</span> | <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com" target="" title="Houzz.com">Houzz.com</a> <br></b> Ever since I outgrew my musical jewelry box with the spinning ballerina inside, I've been at a bit of a loss as to where to stash my expanding collection of baubles. In a perfect world, I'd have a closet tricked out with custom-configured, velvet-lined drawers, with a designated spot for each chunky necklace or chandelier earring. Not being Carrie from Sex and the City, however, I need a budget-friendly - yet still artful - way to keep them in their place. These ideas fill both needs with aplomb. <br> <b>More from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com" target="" title="">Houzz</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/storage-and-organizing" target="" title="">Browse hundreds of jewelry storage ideas</a> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com/jewelry-storage" target="" title="">Creative jewelry stands and holders</a></b>

On the one hand, they'll probably outgrow the theme within a few years. On the other hand, they are SO MUCH FUN until they do! Themed rooms for kiddos are not limited to bedrooms; playrooms, rec rooms, finished basements and playhouses can all carry a theme as well. <b>Related: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/kids" target="" title="">Browse thousands of kids room photos</a> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.houzz.com/kids-loft" target="" title="">See creative kids loft spaces</a></b>
