I spotted an old, distressed window frame a few months back and knew it had to come home with me. I turned it into a jewelry holder and it is now something I use every single day.
Here is the original window frame that caught my eye...
I staple gunned chicken wire to the back and added a wire picture hanger.
I simply hang the earrings from the chicken wire, and use opened up paper clips to hang necklaces. I can't fit everything, but I hang my most favorite pieces for convenience and a little color!
I never realized how nice it would be to have my earrings organized as opposed to laying around mismatched in a jewelry box. It makes it so much easier to remember what you have and to easier to change it up!
I couldn't resist how distressed and weathered it looked. I like to think about the home this old piece used to be a part of and I feel lucky that it is now in mine. Love.
