Great Eye-dea

Sometimes the puns just come too easily.

We have a pretty generously sized master bathroom and a small linen closet is tucked into the corner of the room. Last summer, I got my organization on and whipped the closet into shape. I even used my label maker. I wear my dork title proudly!

The only thing that didn't get done at that time was a way to organize/display all of my necklaces. They were in a box and were constantly getting tangled. Plus, since I could not see them, I really didn't wear them very often.

I looked around on Pinterest for ideas, but nothing struck my fancy. Then one day I was in Bill's workshop looking for stuff to hang a picture and came across eye hooks. A light went on in my brain and about 20 minutes later, I had this:

 It's really hard to get a picture of this in such a small space, but I tried!

As you can see, there were pieces of wood already in the closet as shelf supports. All I did was drill small holes about two inches apart and then screwed in the eye hooks. Each hook is strong enough to hold a few necklaces. There's enough space from the bottom hooks to hang the longer necklaces there.

It's been like this for a few months now and I'm really happy with how it's working. I can easily see and get to all of my necklaces. Best of all, since the wood was already in the closet and we already owned the eye hooks, this was a free solution! Love that!

On a different note, yesterday I got to babysit my adorable nephew. He's almost 2 and so fun and fearless. I brought him to my house for a bit and he got to meet Simon. Simon was a little unsure at first - check out this side-eye!

But he grew to love him!
