Organize De-clutter Display

Taking a break from the colour stories to write about little things. A forgotten corner of the bed room. A tiny spot of space by the window. Have used to organize stuff that would not fit into the closet.. most of it is too pretty to sit inside a closet any way!
The corner is utilised to store and display a collection of junk jewellery, old bags, the few books that I am reading right now, scarves, bags and shoes, family photographs and a whole lot of other things, that left alone would be a complete mess.
The few things that can be done to de-clutter and store things well, is to sort the objects and unify the look of a space using interesting things to store them..

Bags and Baskets: Antique Rattan basket from Green Lantern, HK. Tribal applique dowry bag from Matsya Here.
Baskets of different sizes, shapes and types can be used to serve as catch-alls for jewelery, old textiles, remote controls, books, keys, CDs and random odds and ends.

Pegs and hooks:Pegs from British India- Singapore, Silk and potli Key chains, turquoise necklace from Stanley Market HK and Polka Dot woolen Scarf from Kashmir Handicrafts- Mumbai.
Instead of stashing interesting bags, scarves key chains and jewellery out of sight, I use clothes pegs and hooks to hang stuff as I please. The display keeps changing to suit mood and convenience...

Antique Burmese embellished bag I inherited from my Grandmother, assorted jewelry from Jade Market HK, and Baskets from all over..

Assorted bangles and more baskets

i just have one qns...how do u keep everything so clean?
Thanks Deepa, Geetha and Bali!
Bali : It is a bit of a challenge keeping things clean at all times..More so in dusty environments. My only strategy is to take out a little time to clean and tidy up every day.. Am a bit of a neat freak, so get it done one way or the other!
Oh fabulous.. You've got a little treasure.. isnt it??
Thanks Patricia... Its a quite a junkyard...but I love it! :)
