Wrapping Paper and Ribbon; Not just for gifts anymore!

Upon deciding that my closet needed a little "dressing up,"

I began the hunt for the perfect wrapping paper.

Yep, wrapping paper!

Thrilled to come across this pattern at Hallmark,

I picked up a roll for $3.99 and got to work.

My goal was to create a boutique feel in my little space.

Throughout my home, I have tried to stick to neutrals

and worked to create a modern (yet traditional) beachy feel

(if that makes any sense!).

However, my closet is a place where I can be totally girly.

Bring on the pink roses!

Using thumb tacks, I lined the back wall of my built-in shelving.

A roll of butterfly ribbon from Michael's finished off the look;

I simply attached it to the shelf fronts with my staple gun.

Using items from around the house, I created an

accessories display area.

Earrings fit perfectly in the little egg crate

that I picked up last year at Anthro.

Random jewelry is elevated on a miniature cake stand

(I think I found the clear votive holders at the dollar store.)

For pretty yet practical headband storage,

I used a glass serving bowl.

Belts and miscellaneous accessories also fit inside.

For jewelry display, my husband installed a new

(i.e. larger) version of my necklace organizer.

He even cut out around the light switch plate,

maximizing every square inch of wall space.

I love that I can actually see every piece now!

I have to say, my new "boutique inspired"

closet definitely keeps me more organized.

Who would want to make a mess in such a cute little spot?

(Let's just see how it looks on Sunday morning.

For some reason, that is the day I feel

the need to change outfits 700 times.

Needless to say, lots of clothes end up on the floor.)
