Unusual Organizing

Bouquet of Headbands

Pots of Bracelets

Vase of Sunglasses

I really enjoy organizing. Recently I decided to just change things. Not because there was something wrong with the way it was, just because I wanted it to be new and different. 

Ya know what I mean?


 My headband collection is growing considerably. I've decided they are one of my favorite accessories. Especially with my short hair. This is my favorite way to store them, because:
 1. they are pretty 
2. it's very easy to see them all 
3. they are easily accessible 
&
4. they are easy to put away and keep organized.

  
 This was my favorite discovery during my re-organizing mission. This is actually an old coffee pot that was left in our house when we bought it. 
I have no idea how old it is, but I know these haven't been used for a long time. 
Vintage storage. I like it.
Plus, I haven't found a happy way, until now, to store and see my bracelets. As you can see I have plenty, and when I can't see them or get to them, I don't wear them. I really don't like wasted things or space, so this is an effort to wear out all my bracelets. I would have never stored my bracelets in and old coffee pot, but the strange idea hit me and now it's my favorite, like I mentioned just a bit ago. I think that is why I like it so much, because bracelets and coffee pots just don't seem to go together in my head, but when paired, it's a pleasant surprise.

  
I am also exited about this discovery. My wonderful sister, Angi, just sent me 3 pair of new sunglasses. Now I know they will be used, and I get to look at their pretty frames whenever I am in my closet. 
I think it is the coolest thing when a decoration is functional and useful. 
Or, put in other terms: When things we need to use everyday are displayed or arranged pretty enough to be a decoration too. 

I hope this inspired you to get organizing with some unusual things in some unusual ways. 
Happy Spring cleaning!

The end.

  2. Those are unexpected ways to organize, I like them! They're nice because they showcase the items nicely, so you can see them, but they aren't cluttering your space.
    Lovely post! :)
