EGST - Organize Post

Accessories Wardrobe, Or I (finally) Put My Jewelry In Order!

Article submitted by pergamondo

Who hasn’t been frazzled from digging through a mess, trying to combine their accessories with their outfit? Or who hasn’t dreamed of having a single, convenient way of displaying all her accessories? I will try to answer these questions by proposing three solutions for organizing your accessories and especially jewelry, so you can easily look through and arrange your collection. With these three solutions we can organize our accessories while decorating our bedroom! These three proposals were made with the number, type of jewelry and the style of the room in mind. Moreover, they are quite affordable and easy to construct.

Ποιά δεν έχει αγανακτήσει ψάχνοντας μέσα σ’ ένα χαμό για να συνδυάσει κάποιο από τα αξεσουάρ με το ντύσιμο της; Ή που δεν έχει ονειρευτεί να έχει μια γκαρνταρόμπα μόνο με τα αξεσουάρ της; Σε αυτά τα ερωτήματα θα προσπαθήσω να απαντήσω προτείνοντας τρεις λύσεις για την οργάνωση των αξεσουάρ και ειδικά των κοσμημάτων έτσι ώστε να μπορούμε να έχουμε μια συνολική εποπτεία τους ανά πάσα στιγμή. Οι τρεις λύσεις είναι τέτοιες ώστε η οργάνωση αυτή, να συνδυάζεται και με μια διακοσμητική πρόταση για το δωμάτιό μας! Είναι και οι τρεις ενδεικτικές και μπορούν, εννοείται, να δεχτούν πολλές παραλλαγές ανάλογα τόσο με τον αριθμό και το είδος των κοσμημάτων όσο και το ύφος του χώρου. Επίσης, όλες είναι αρκετά οικονομικές και εύκολες στο να κατασκευαστούν.


Solution no.1 – Organizing necklaces and scarves
Λύση no.1 – Οργάνωση κολιέ και κασκόλ





In this case we can see a way to sort our necklaces and scarves. This construction requires a steel wire that we can bend forming various shapes (such as the S shape of the photo) or just stretch it to form a straight line. Using multiple steel wires, you can make an arrangement with longer or narrower lines, depending on the space available. Alternatively, instead of steel wire we can use rope (e.g. climbing rope which is quite strong and comes in a variety of colors) together with looped screws and get similar results. Another option is to use thin curtain rods in various lengths and materials (just pay attention not to use very long and very narrow ones because the weight of the jewelry could bend them)!

Σε αυτή την περίπτωση βλέπουμε ένα τρόπο για να τακτοποιήσουμε τα κολιέ και τα κασκόλ μας. Η κατασκευή χρειάζεται ένα συρματόσκοινο το οποίο μπορούμε να κάμψουμε σε διάφορα σχήματα (όπως το σχήμα S της φωτογραφίας) ή απλά να τεντώσουμε σχηματίζοντας μία ευθεία. Με χρήση πολλών συρματόσκοινων μπορούμε να κάνουμε μια σύνθεση με μακρύτερες ή στενότερες ευθείες, ανάλογα με την επιφάνεια τοίχου που έχουμε διαθέσιμη. Εναλλακτικά, αντί για τα συρματόσκοινα μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε χοντρά σκοινιά (π.χ. τα σκοινιά ορειβασίας είναι αρκετα ανθεκτικά και με ωραία χρώματα) που μαζί με τις βίδες με θηλιά στην άκρη, μπορούν να δώσουν παρόμοιο αποτέλεσμα. Μια ακόμα λύση, είναι η χρήση λεπτών κουρτινόξυλων σε διάφορα μήκη και υλικά(προσοχή να μην χρησιμοποιήσετε πολύ μακρυά και πολύ στενά κουρτινόξυλα γιατί με το βάρος των κοσμημάτων μπορεί να κάνουν “κοιλιά” στη μέση)!

When I was creating this painting, I was inspired by the harmony in the composition of the traditional old Indian paintings, the delightful beauty of the Indian woman, and their rich in colors and patterns costumes. The name “Bharat” means "India".
