Thanks, Pinterest!

Via
One of the first images I ever pinned when I got the hang Pinterest was this old rake re-purposed into a necklace holder. Brilliant!
I just knew it was something I needed in my life (if you saw the tangled mess that was my necklaces, you would understand). So over the weekend when we headed to the swap meet I put "old rake" on my list of things to search for. We weren't even two rows into it when I spotted one and for just three dollars, it was mine! It was rusty and covered in cobwebs but nothing a good cleaning and some spray paint couldn't fix.
                               Behold...

Hung high on the wall in my bathroom, out of reach from little hands.


 My necklace collection has never been so vast, thanks to Goodwill. My necklace collection has never looked so good, thanks to Pinterest!

My bathroom decor is shabby chic and painted green and white so it fits right in, but this would still look great in a room with more modern decor too. Try painting it a bold color like red or hot pink, or even an dark blue or slate gray would look cool. Ah, I love options!
