My Jewelry Armoire

The older I get, the harder I find it to throw things away. By far, clothes are the most difficult for me to get rid of as I keep thinking that I will have occasion to wear again what hasn't been worn in years. Despite my reluctance, I decided to go through my wardrobe and donate anything I hadn't put on in over a year. It wasn't easy to let go of some things, especially when I remembered how much I had paid for them and how little they had been used. After several hours, my closet was clean and ... read more

Article Body:

The drawer in question was one that held a lifetime worth of gifts from my husband, friends and family in the form of jewelry. I had accumulated enough that I started putting them in one of the top drawers of my dresser, which was starting to look like a pirates treasure chest. Not only did I store my jewelry away, I rarely wore it anymore as digging through that drawer for the right piece seemed more trouble than it was worth. I decided I needed to do something about that as well.

My first thought was to get a jewelry box (or three) to hold all his stuff. At least it would be out of the drawer and in a more appropriate place. I wasn't crazy about that idea so I asked a friend if she had any ideas. She suggested a jewelry armoire.

Thinking this seemed like a nice solution to my problem, I looked around online and found one that could hold all my jewelry and matched my existing bedroom furniture. It arrived on a Friday and I began what I thought would be the arduous task of organizing my jewelry. As it turns out, I had a lot of fun going through all the pieces and the memories that went with them. More importantly, the armoire displayed my jewelry beautifully, and I found myself taking great care to place each necklace, ring, earring and bracelet. I was very happy with my purchase, but the jewelry armoire did something even better for me. The following Monday before leaving for work, I remembered a pair of earrings I had placed in the armoire and decided to put them on. I hadn't worn earrings to work (or anywhere, for that matter) in quite a long time. That day, I received several compliments about my earrings. The next day, I found myself going back to the armoire to accessorize again.

It has now been several months since I purchased my jewelry armoire and picking out jewelry to wear has become a daily occurrence. I really enjoy having all my pieces on display to choose from and wearing my jewelry again has caused me to take a little more pride in my appearance. I am very happy that I can now appreciate and make use of my collection instead of banishing it to a dresser drawer. Sufficed to say, my jewelry armoire has made putting on jewelry fun again.
