Tweak It Tuesday - Bracelet Organizer

Good Morning everyone....

It's Tweak It Tuesday.

Today I am bringing back a great little organization project 

that has been quite popular on Pinterest.

I love to wear bracelets and I have quite a few of them

but, 

I was always forgetting to put them on.

I would realize after I had left the house that I hadn't added my favorite

accessory to my outfit and be so upset with myself.

But, in my defense I am a very visual person 

and
they were hidden in a jewelry box - out of sight, out of mind for me.

I had to come up with some kind of  storage that was easily 

accessible and pleasing to the eye so I could remember to use them.

I mean why have them if you keep them in a jewelry box.

I had seen several ways of organizing jewelry that just didn't work for me.

But, one day I saw something I knew would work on Pinterest.

(I didn't pin it then (in 2012) therefore I can't give credit
but if it is yours please let me know)

Remember these old 1960's coffee mug trees?

Everyone had one sitting next to their coffee pots.

I know I had one back then.  

But, it has long been gone.

It took me a while to find another one - they must still be popular.

One day when out thrifting I ran across this one

in a thrift store for $3.

I was sold immediately because a new one with only 4 arms was $10 

and 

finding one in a thrift store was not happening.

So, I grabbed that baby fast.

You would have thought I had found gold....

I do not have a before picture but, it was brown wood and ugly.

I painted it with Valspar's Anthem White latex paint.

(This was before I discovered chalk paint)

That was all that was needed for this little update.

Then I hung all those fun bangles (grouping them by color) from the six arms

and 

set it on my bathroom counter.

Right where I can see them.

 They are so handy when I am getting ready to go out.

I love it because now I remember to put them on

and 

they make a colorful addition to my bathroom counter.

Such a simple and easy solution to a problem 

that was driving me crazy.

Why did I not figure it out sooner?

What have you done about a problem that is plaguing you?
