Jewelry storage in unexpected places

I recently bought a picture frame/wall mount jewelry case from JC Penney and I have to say it's working out great. Even though I have a large (o.k. huge) jewelry armoire, things were still getting crowded. I use to go to a lot of art and craft fairs, I inherited some jewelry, and I have a good friend who is into jewelry making, all of which has helped to pile the collection up. The new wall mount case handles necklaces, earrings, and bracelets particularly well. This has allowed me to spread out the remaining pieces in the old case to best advantage. Being able to view the collection easily has helped speed up dressing in the morning.

My jewelry making friend has a jewelry case that doubles as a full length mirror. Since she wanted both, that solution works perfectly for her.

In my case I already had full length mirrors on the closet doors, no floor space to spare, and wanted my wall space for pictures. The wall mount solves it all for me. I haven't loaded pictures into my new frame yet but I'm really looking forward to choosing the right ones. Best of all I got this on sale for a mere $59.00 and it's the perfect size for the space I had available.

Here's a couple of shots of the case filled up with my jewelry.
