I'm shocked no one has mentioned the obvious...

Hire a maid, wear what you want. Problem. Solved.

I would super glue a velco strip to the wall and stick the other side to your curtains.

"It's not nails..."

Ummm weird. I didn't read this until this morning, but last night for dinner- we made meatloaf and put it in the fridge JUST so we could have meatloaf sandwiches right away. Haha!

Clearly, this is where you keep your iPad.

Okay, I'm gonna take it there and its gonna be gross. But, to be fair, I warned you:

An unfertilized egg (which is what we eat) released by a chicken is basically its period.

So, unless you think sucking on a tampon classifies as "eating human meat," eggs are not meat.

I actually got them at a festival a few years ago... so, hit up something local like that? Or, if you are into making jewelry, you can buy the feathers and earring hooks at Michaels and make em yourself :)

Ahhh, finally, some recognition for this. I've always displayed my jewelry out in the open. See my earrings. Not only does it look pretty, but it makes things easier to find! Its perfect for organizing my collection and people comment on it all the time...and then ask to borrow earrings :D

For the rack itself, I actually used this shelf piece from an Ikea shelving unit, and just hung it on nails on the wall instead of the way its supposed to be used.

Also, any time any jewelry breaks, I glue the pieces onto this very dirty mirror so they still get to sparkle.

@ariellie - if you hang something high enough on the wall, its out of kitty range, although they do look at it longingly

@delafielder - if you don't have a ton of jewelry, things can look very pretty hung in something like this jewelry cabinet or on this tree. If I had few enough necklaces, I would do something like this... but alas, being a jewelry fiend has its pitfalls :)

@jennifer119: I'm not being a bugger at all, I WAS inspired by this post, but ultimately, disappointed with the lack of actual "tips." AND, instead of just griping, I made a suggestion as to what I was hoping to find here.

In retrospect, I now title it my "How to Make a Constructive Complaint on an AT Post Hack."

I recently just left an apartment in an old building that had 2 tragic flaws I missed when looking at it:

- I fell in love with the antique claw foot tub, however, I didn't realize that having it made the shower head too short for my nearly 6 foot stature. I had to crouch for the entire length of my shower every single time I cleaned up. Not fun for me, or any of the other tall people who ever showered at my place. Also-- the hot water was VERY finicky, literally 1 millimeter more of a turn on the faucet was the difference between scalding and freezing... Now I will be sure to run both before making any decisions.

- Also, and I don't know how I missed this one: The outlets were all the old fashioned two-prong outlets. There was only ONE grounded outlet in the entire apartment. I had a very unsafe trail of extension cords/power strips throughout the whole place. Eeek!
