When I talk about embellishments I'm talking about buttons, stickers, rub-ons, pre-cut die shapes, tags, flowers, rhinestones, etc. I store these items in 2 major different ways; visable and non-visable. I store all my flowers in the containers they were bought in on the top shelf, then underneath I have an in-expensive curtain rod I got from IKEA. It is customizable to the exact length you want. Remember when purchasing a hanging system like a curtain rod and hooks not to buy one that involves taking off the rod evrey time you want to add a new embellishment to it. You want to get one that has hooks instead of rings. I store any embellishments that come in a flat package, in their original packaging, hanging from this wire rod. Some people like the deskop "Clip-it-up" version from Simply Renee, but I prefer mine up and off the table. I group them mostly by manufacturer so that when I pull out a paper divider (as shown in my Patterned Paper post) I can easily get the matching embellishments to go with it. Sometimes I buy kits with PP and the matching embellishmens and it will come with stickers or die cuts that are on a 12" x 12" sheet. These sheets get stored with the PP as they do no fit depth wise from the hanging wire rod.
love the pics of your room, very nice :) I'm going to IKEA soon, thanks for the info of the curtain rod idea :)
