Project: Accessory Organization

I know that I'm about 3 years late to the party, but I've recently become obsessed with Pinterest. Honestly, I never used to "get" the attraction before, but I think it was because I never tried using it. After all, the unknown can be a bit...overwhelming. 

The only reason I thought to use Pinterest recently was because I was looking for some hair inspiration.  I figured it would be a better place to find inspiration than Google or Instagram. I did find some cool ideas on there, but it was just the beginning.

A little while after that search for ideas, I was in one of those random organizational moods and wondered what could be done to organize my extremely messy accessories. I thought to myself, why not take a look at Pinterest? It didn't take long to find some inspirational photos, and I found an idea that I really wanted to try. It involved some thin rods hung in rows and some metal rings, so I figured it would be easy enough.

The hardest part was buying the materials, simply because what I'm looking for isn't an actual product. 5 stores later, I ended up with some Cafe Rods and several packages of shower rings. 

Overall, the final product turned out to be amazing, so I took a bunch of "Before" and "After" shots. Since this was a successful Pinterest project, I think it's safe to say that I'm officially obsessed.

I have a link to my Pinterest profile on my blog. You should check it out!

I'm also going to have a "Pin It" button on my posts, moving forward :)

Have you done any DIY's that were inspired by something you saw on Pinterest?

    Isn't Pinterest awesome? I was kind of late to joining it, too. I barely opened an account a year ago. It can get really addicting though lol. I love it for all the healthy recipes. There are some amazing food blogs I've discovered because of Pinterest!

    Thanks for your comment! I'm following you on Bloglovin and Pinterest now :)
