Hat boxes. One is for winter scarves, the next for winter hats, and the next for vintage gloves.
I am a big fan of hanging things on hooks. In my last apartment, I had a wooden mirror propped on top of my dresser with no wallspace on the sides for hooks, so I put screwed hooks into the frame of the mirror for hanging necklaces. I am also a huge fan of those 3M Command hooks with the removeable adhesive. I use the nice chrome colored ones for hanging all my necklaces. I also use vintage ashtrays as dishes on my dresser for things like rings and hairpins.
2 ribbons are attached to the mirror frame with thumbtacks and I clip my flowers to those. Loose flowers just get clipped to the feather boa using pincurl clips. Miss Bella Hell uses old kitchen canister sets for storing things like hair flowers, jewelry and toiletry items.
Ribbon attached to wall with thumbtacks. Perfect for holding earrings.

Coopsgirl said:I needed more storage so I bought this $50 bookcase at Target. It's about 2' wide and 4' high so it doesn't take up a lot of room.
Then on the longer side I keep some of my hats on styrofoam heads and also have a double rod that I got at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's a lifesaver and I have shirts, sweaters, and skirts hanging on that second rod.
I also use those skinny hangers from Bed, Bath and Beyond but you can find them in most stores and they really do make a big difference. You can get clips for them to hang pants and skirts too.
