Those of you who love jewelry, who shop for it and who receive it for gifts accumulate, over time, more than you can store affectively. What do you do with it? Do your necklaces become tangled? Your earrings get lost and you’re left with just one? Do they all get tangled up in a blob of chains with earring posts sticking out of it? Or, do you keep it in different boxes in an attempt to avoid such catastrophic messes?
Such is the case of an area woman who, over many years accumulated so much jewelry that she had fourteen various jewel boxes, an armoire and various sizes of other boxes full. She no longer knew what she had or where to find it along with dozens of pairs of mismatched earrings.
The solution: Reuter’s Home Designs took a dresser found in the basement and transformed it into storage for all of it for less than ten dollars by using core board, purchased at the local Dollar Tree, cut and glued together into shallow trays and covered with fabric, doubling and even tripling the capacity of each drawer and using trays with sections in them that the client already had on hand from something she had purchased.
While organizing the jewelry to put into its new home several dozen earrings were reunited with their counterpart, making for a very happy client.
