At Home with Kristi

I have quiet a lot of costume jewelry, especially necklaces, that I wear to work.   I didn’t have a good place to put the jewelry , so it ended up here

on this lovely candle holder on my dresser.

The problems with the candle holder jewelry rack:

1. the necklaces get tangled together

2. you often have to remove more than one to get to the one you want

3.  I can’t see my pretty candle holder

So, after pondering different solutions here is what I came up with.

We have this LARGE armoire that is part of our bedroom set.

Said armoire has a curved front and inset panels in the doors.

So I went and got some command hooks

and placed rows of them inside the doors, like this

Where I then placed my necklaces!

What are yours?

Matthew got me a Nook eReader for Christmas. I love it but felt it had one drawback, I couldn’t read in the bathtub. Reading while taking a looooong bubble bath is one of my favorite things. I mentioned this drawback to Matthew and he made me very happy with a single word-ziploc!
I put my Nook in a couple of ziploc bags and enjoyed my book and bubble bath.
