Remember the vintage expanding coat rack I bought? I've finally given it an oiling and got it on my bedroom wall, and it has made all the difference to my jewellery collection. I probably have fewer necklaces than anything else, and I don't tend to wear them nearly as often as earrings, bangles and rings, probably because up til now they've been hidden away in a jewellery box. Those that weren't hidden away were slung over the corner of my dressing table mirror, which looks great and is all very well until you want to wear something, whereupon everything proves to be tangled together in some kind of evil jewellery spaghetti.
Ok, this isn't everything. But it's a lot better
60s American peapod pendant - vintage fair
70s tiger eye pendant - gift from mother in law
Stolen thunder wooden necklace and stone arrow head
Eclectic Eccentricity Cottontail Hare - won in Jen little bird's blog giveaway
Malachite choker - bought in France or Spain in early teens
{edit: that's my hand, not an alarmingly scrawny neck!}
So, not an impressive ta-dah, but a personally pleasing one. I'll be back later on today to catch up with everyone, so do link up anything you have to share.

Another great make. I would really like to see your bedroom in all it's glory with all the girlie things on the walls. Please?

I will do some serious tidying and consider it! ;-)
DeleteNice one convincing Mr FHCS that another item needed to go up, especially as you were going out the door. Love this idea. I almost bought a 1960s hook like that but didn't know what to do with it, now I do but sadly I have no more wall space in my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fab! Very retro! I like that hare necklace. I'm an earrings girl, I try with the necklaces but they make me hot. Work that out! I can't!

Wow that coat rack looks amazing ;-) What a fab idea the one of the things i love about blogland seeing everyone's takes and uses for items. Sorry i haven't been over for a while im struggling to keep up with blogland at the moment and im afraid its taken a bit of a back seat at present. But im going to try and pop in once a week. Enjoy the rest of your week, dee x
ReplyDeleteLove the jewellery holder that's such a good idea! I've got mine on a mug holder at the moment and the necklaces have definitely turned into jewellery spaghetti... Hope you are having a good Jubilee weekend we must catch up soon xxx
ReplyDeleteI need that peapod necklace...
ReplyDeleteWe used to have one of those but we had it with mugs on it in the staffroom. I do like the way you’ve displayed your lovely pieces - something else to dust?
ReplyDeleteAnother great make! Love the peas in a pod necklace!!
ReplyDeleteVictoria xx
nifty idea! Mine are all over the place I have so many I forget about them. I will have to keep my eyes out for one of these. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, Lakota - nothing like a bit of upcycled storage! :-)
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
great use of the expanding coat rack! Really loving seeing all your jewellery displayed....some lovely necklaces!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea! I hate the evil necklace spaghetti, mine ALWAYS does that!!! That's so funny about your husband, poor him! My boyfriend got really irritated by my insisting I had to blog something today !! I finally joined in!
ReplyDeleteyay! So glad you got them up. I dont wear neckalces very often either, kinda getting tired of looking at mine. Baby Daddy asked me for a place to hang his ties, I was like there is no room for YOUR things. But I gave him a coat rack so now he has his own taking up space in our loft. Really, he couldnt just hang them all on a hanger?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using clothes/ accessories/ bags as decoration. Why not? We spend so much money and time choosing them, why not let everyone see them. I do something similar with my handbags. They are hanging on my wall and take up a lot of space but look so pretty. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea- I did this with an over the door hanger type rack but yours is more staggered so they are separated more. I love your nail polish spice rack storage and all about the wooden pendant:)
ReplyDeleteOh that Peapod necklace! I covet it badly! I like seeing all my jewels on display as well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a useful idea. I need to decorate our bedroom, and improve the storage!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the last pic of the choker necklace I got a little creeped out because I thought that was your neck and shoulders and I was going to have to email you about how frail you were looking. Man, I should have had more caffeine this morning!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to have one of those hangers in the kitchen with oven mitts on it when I was little.
ReplyDeleteI love your use for it, perfect for necklaces!
And I adore your Pea pod necklace it's AWESOME!
I love that peapod necklace and your teenage choker! I hate necklace spaghetti, too, but I have so much jewellery they'd be no room for my Wall of Misery if I hung it all up as neatly using your genius idea. x
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the coatrack! Love the peapod necklace and your French choker. Hope you had a great weekend. xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh I am with everyone, the peapod necklace is amazing, I just love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe rack is great, I use tie-racks for my necklace collection, but I love this idea.
Love v
I'm going to be a total copycat and get my necklaces up on the wall too! I love the pea pod pendant and that stunning malachite choker!!! X
ReplyDeleteYep, pea pod necklace is a goer! I have an old wooden tray thingy I need to DIY for my jewelry collection - must get onto that ....
ReplyDeleteYOUR PEAPOD NECKLACE IS KILLING ME!
ReplyDeleteA great collection of necklaces which deserve to be displayed. You seem to have this storage thing well and truly sorted, I'm green with envy!
ReplyDeleteThe peapod necklace is so cool, but your MIL obviously knows your taste well too, and the others would all happily grace my necklace hooks (if only I had some).

What a great way to store necklaces..mine are forever getting tangled together in my jewellery box (it is amazing how tangled they can get..not sure how it happens, but it does :P).
ReplyDeleteI love the peapod necklace!!!
Oh that hare is fab!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the rabbit
ReplyDeleteXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One never has time to untangle jewelry when getting dressed, so this is such a great display idea! Now, I am off to read the rest of your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI need to copy you on this great rack.
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of fab necklaces!
The rabbit one and tiger eye is my fave, good for keeping away the evil eye.

Hi my dear-what a fabulous buy and a genius way of keeping and using your necklaces regularly, well done indeed! I love the pea pod necklace, how cute and unique! Have a great week xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great way of using that vintage coat rack. I love your accessories, the peapod and rabbit pendant are so adorable. That choker is stunning, I like the rustic style. Thank you for Ta-dah Tuesday!

The pea pod necklace is soooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteMy Mike hates how I always want to get up so early for boot sales at the weekend. He's been lucky recently with the rain as it means he gets a lie in hehe xxx
That looks great, and I like that it's wood, i bet it looks lovely with that cool earring display do-dad you made. Your awesome necklace collection almost makes me want to wear jewellery, especially the peapod one x
ReplyDeleteI'm so late commenting! Great idea for storage - I have my necklaces on an old picture frame that I restored, but this is a much quicker option! Really like that malachite choker x
ReplyDeleteI need to get me one of those. Lovely to see more of your jewellery collection too - I particularly like the pea pod pendant and the cottontail hare!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab. I admit I have been decluttering since the bump made itself known, so all of the costume jewellery that survived the cull is in a china dish on my dressing table. I love the peas in a pod necklace! I do things like that to Mister Cherry, he doesn't half get grumpy!
ReplyDeleteI am too a victim of jewellery spaghetti, too many a time I have lost a good necklace to the dreaded tangle. I love what you’ve done, it may be simple but you know what it really works and I think it makes a great wall piece xxx
ReplyDeleteI should do something like that! I have a jewellery spaghetti over my bedroom mirror (and on my dressing table, where I've just dumped stuff)
ReplyDeleteBut will I ever get round to doing it...? I fear not!
I love the peapod necklace. Mr Style Eyes is similarly enthusiastic about new additions to our bedroom wall in the form of necklace and scarf hangers.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love the pea-pod pendant! So cute!
ReplyDeletePenny Dreadful Vintage
I want the hare necklace. that is all
