Over the Bed Shelf
Row House Nest installed a simple, over-the-bed shelf that sparked some ideas for us as well. Displaying and styling becomes easier when you create more spaces to do it – like adding a shelf in an unsuspecting area. You can even add several to help with your media collections!
Mounted Jewelry Organizer
We’re loving this mounted jewelry organizer that we found over on Amazon. Again, this helps create a nook for organizing and displaying that you wouldn’t have had the space for before. It’s also quite easy to DIY if you wanted to try out a project for yourself instead of buying.

You can even create a space on the wall that acts as your vanity. Just go with wall pieces – even hang up your still when you’re finished – to spare the floor. We found this inspiration on Pinterest and thought it was a beautiful idea to follow through with.
