Product Review - Hannah Jewelry Tree from Bed, Bath, and Beyond

As I have been working to get my house "market-worthy" I have invested in several new products that I have always wanted an excuse to try! This makes the otherwise sad and torturous job a little more palatable. I thought it would also be fun to put my critical nature to work and review the products here as I go.

This product review must start with a confession. I got sidetracked. This is one phenomenon that happens to all of us, and it can really stump you as you try to clean or organize a space. (I KNOW this has happened to you - if you say it hasn't, I am going to suspect you of never having cleaned your house!) Here it is: I go to organize my teeny-tiny closet, and find myself sorting through the jewelry on my dresser! "What? How did I get over here? Why am I not working on the closet? I need to get back to the closet.... as soon..... as I........ untangle.......... this................. one.......................... necklace."

Although I always encourage my clients to try their best to keep their focus on the project we have decided that they should attack first, and not to get distracted by other jobs along the way, I have to admit that I completely understand the temptation to do so! During my closet project, I did get sidetracked for a little while by my jewelry situation. (Fortunately I was able to get it done and re-focus on the closet!)

But in the meantime, I have to share the product I used for my jewelry! For several years I have been dissatisfied with the box where I kept my necklaces. I knew this was not the best solution, but didn't like the other solutions I saw. The closest thing I had seen was a jewelry tree, but had never found one with quite enough "branches" for all of my necklaces. I didn't want to have several trees on my dresser, and I wanted to have access to all of the necklaces that I wear regularly (and, of course, to be able to wear those frustratingly tangle-prone necklaces without spending an hour each morning straining my eyes and my patience freeing them from their knotted masses).

But FINALLY...ta da! The Hannah Jewelry Tree came along at Bed, Bath, and Beyond! It is big enough to hold all of my casual necklaces, and I can easily see and grab any one I want each morning. It looks much prettier than the overflowing box I had there before. But the strangest thing of all is that it seems that the designer must have been spying on me through that back window that I never close, because the Hannah Jewelry Tree just happens to match my bedroom furniture exactly, and to be named after my daughter! (Just a little creepy, right?)

Anyway, if there are spies in my backyard, and their job is to make products that I have needed for years and that match my furniture, I think I won't complain!

Here is the photo of my newest find!
