A Place for Everything...

...And everything in its place.

I have admit this scarf holder took way longer to finish that it should have. I searched the internet (i.e. Pinterest) for a neat idea to store and display my scarves. But I just didn't care much for the curtain holders on a hanger, etc.  I wanted to be able to see all of them, w/o worrying about them working their way off the hanger.  Or getting pushed back into oblivion.

I don't have the technical expertise to build the cubbies that I wanted for each scarf.  So, in the end, I purchased a sock organizer from The Container Store and built a frame for it with some leftover crown molding. In retrospect, I should have used baseboard,  or something else b/c the crown didn't have a flat surface to making hanging easy.  We (me and DH) placed a little square block in each corner to maintain square, but they had the added bonus of preventing the sock organizer from being pulled out every time I take out a scarf.  Actually, after I got it built and painted, it took me 6 months to get my act together and get it hung!

Actually, I don't have as many scarves as I thought I did.  And I kind of like the way they look like roses when all rolled up!
