inspirations: for my jewellery storage.








above images are all taken from Jen.

As you all know that, I'm preparing to move into my brother's room in June. So when I saw these, I couldn't resist, I have to do some researching. Prepare for heavy images ahead, so far, I've only search online for Ikea stuffs. I'm still doing my projects and whatnot, so these will do for now. I'll definitely move on to scouting around at daiso!

All images below are taken from Ikea.

 

DIOD glass 
 
I’m thinking of getting something similar to this, of course not blue, since I’ve yet to decide on my colour theme. This glass will have to be spacious enough for me to stick my hand in freely to get my accessories, otherwise narrow enough for me to use it as a stand for my bangles.


 
I love how these looked like a set, the flat one can probably be used to store anything, the shorter one for me to throw stuffs like rings. The tall one will be a “bangle stand” perhaps? Oh, and I love to use charcoal colour for my furniture and decor.






I love these too! I will probably pair it with myndig below. (:





also comes in these, MYNDIG side plate




If only these containers are shorter, I’ve yet to come up with ideas on how can I use these, but I just have a feeling that they will come in handy.


YNGAREN, it also comes in a pretty pink shade!


In my opinion, jewellery storage are just way overpriced, essentially, they are just fanciful ash trays and plates. With this idea in mind, I’ll probably search for hardware stores looking for cheap dinnerware. If they are not in my desired colours, I’ll just paint them over to suit my taste. (:

DIY PROJECT: accessories board

So, as you all know, I went ikea the other day.


This is how the "noticeboard" look in real life..

It also includes this, which I didn't use, but I suppose it's for you to hang the board with.

These are the transparent pins, which I love it! Reason being I didn't want to have different coloured pins sticking out from my accessories.


So these are the papers I found lying around my room.
1. Baby pink colored paper

2. Some patterned paper that sticks? I dunno what it's called. I think the picture would explain it better than me.
/ramble starts here
I decided to use these papers first, so as to keep the board clean. I mean, cork boards are not exactly the easiest thing to clean on earth. Plus, I THINK they do not handle moist well too. Also, the reason why I decided to randomly use any coloured paper first (I know it's a extra step) is because, I've yet to decide what colour should my new upcoming room's wall be. (I dunno why I'm explaining) Although, I've kinda decide, regardless of the wall colour, I'll use a white textured paper as a base. I might change my mind, thus the extra step!
/endsramble

Even using a A3 sized paper, it could not fill up the whole board. You may want to find a bigger piece of paper if you are considering getting the board from ikea.

You may want to skip the next two steps/pictures, if you are not particular with the paper alignment.


What I'm doing here is just making a mark on the paper, so that I'll know how much I should cut. If you are afraid you wouldn't be accurate, use a ruler to help you.



After I got the length, I basically used a pencil to mark the centre of the paper. I'm going to cut it in half, for the top piece and the bottom, as seen in the pictures below.. If you are able to cut straight lines without any help, you may skip this step too.


This is how it looks like after I pasted the top and bottom. Again, if you like this look better, you can stop at this step. For me, I'm doing this to protect the cork board, so I'm going to continue with the sides..


Same thing, making a mark, for the length.



For me to cut it straight instead of ugly jagged lines.


This is the finished product. I'm gonna go ahead and put my accessories on it.

Style 1

Style 2 (if you could see the difference) I prefer style 2, I feel it looks neater this way.




Obviously, you could tell, I'm gonna need more than just one organiser. But for now, my room is fully packed, I've yet to move into my new room. I haven't had the time to organise it better. blahblah /procrastinates further.
