A lot of my design inspiration comes from nature, and tree branches are the easiest way to bring earthy elements to your home. West elm has jumped on this bandwagon, along with a hand full of other retailers. (click to enlarge my inspiration board below)

Like I have mentioned in my previous post, I am a HUGE accessories freak. I have collected quite a large jewelry collection over the years but always have a problem storing them. A while back I bought a jewelry stand on ebay (similar to the one here from urban outfitters) but was too small and failed to keep any of my jewelry organized. Ideally, I wanted a stand that could store all my necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings at once- not just a stand dedicated solely to earrings. Therefore I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my very own. Instead of storing your jewelry in your vanity/desk, like most people do, show it off! Make your jewelry part of your bedroom design- it will add a personal touch. This is probably one of the easier sweet concoction recipe! Enjoy
.: Ingredients :.
- one large tree branch
- white spray paint, newspaper
.: Direction :.
1) Find a large tree branch outside that has lots of offshoots.
2) Clean the branch to get rid of any dirt.
3) Decide where you will be putting your branch. If the branch is going to be laying down on a piece of furniture, you will have to break off some of the smaller branches so that the branch has stability.
4) Spray paint *I used 2 coats*
5) After letting the branch dry, start hanging your jewelry! Below are some pictures of the final product. Hopefully, they will provide you with some inspiration.
