Where Do You Stash Your Mags?

Lately, I think we've seen lots of photo shoots where magazines are stacked and used as little tables, set nicely on stools, piled under windowsills, etc etc etc.

Really? That's called clutter. And yes, it's completely realistic (mine are flowing out of my closet, my bookshelves, my side tables...), but what about actual storage solutions? This one might be my new favorite:

I love the idea of clean open bins (still casual, and easily accessible) stored under glamorous side tables at the foot of the bed as captured by Mark Lund for Glamour. Do you have a stylish way to stash your glossies? What is it?

Some of mine, by the way, are stacked under a small side table in my bedroom, but I'm thinking a box would help it feel much more cleaned up. Plus - when you run out of room, you know it's time to start going through them!

Draping Your Jewels... Continued!

A few weeks ago I asked readers to share their ideas for displaying jewelry, and got an incredible response! So, I thought I'd give you all a bit of an update on my work-in-progress at home...

I have a small console table that I bought years ago from West Elm, and right now it's residing in a corner of my bedroom, right next to the closet, which means it's the perfect spot for keeping all my baubles. Above the console is a bulletin board above where some of my more delicate necklaces are hanging for the moment.

The bowl is a piece I've been coveting from Anthropologie for a while, and this was a perfect excuse to snatch one up! Now, all my large bangles and cuffs are residing in beautiful orange ikat. A few necklaces dangle from the fabric bulletin board, but there are more that need a little storage spot. Still working on that! The small dish is vintage - I have a set of six of them at home and decided to use one for rings and small earrings.

Readers also passed along some of their own jewelry setups and inspirations...

This beautiful coral piece came via Isla, and I loved this little vanity area from Domino.

A coco+kelley sponsor, the setup on the left is from the Vancouver BC shop, Oliver & Lilly's, while the genius corkboard (inside the door of an armoire!) came from The Fab Miss B.

And, with a similar style and aesthetic to mine, I really loved these ideas from Auburn & Ivory. Little hooks hung from a branch, a few little bowls, and a birdcage? So creative!
