DIY for your home - jewelry organizer

I've mentioned before that we are still working hard on decorating our (somewhat) new home. These things take time for me, but I am finally beginning to figure out what I want to do. Though we haven't put too much work into the bedroom yet, I'm itching to get it finished. It is such a cozy spot in the back of the house, with a big window by the bed and a little window above the dresser. It's not a huge space by any means, and the closet is teeny tiny, but it seems to be just enough room for us.

my perfumes: a pretty little element that makes me smile, in the "accessory nook"

The first thing we did do was to paint the awful bright yellow walls, then we got a new quilt and a large dresser, and though we're still working, it's coming along nicely. A major spruce-up to the room came with this DIY project I did in a small nook that I use to keep my accessories (jewelry, sunnies, perfumes). I had been using a plain cork board, papered in white (like this one) to hold my necklaces, see below. Pretty rough looking, no? With just $3 worth of paint from Michael's (1 black, 1 white, & 1 yellow) and a little extra wall color paint, I transformed the space into something much neater and with a little chevron pattern, because doesn't everyone need a little chevron these days?

Though it doesn't need much of a tutorial, here is what I did to the pin board:
1) paint the entire cork portion in my wall color. let dry.
2) using drafter triangles, make a chevron pattern then sketch onto the board with pencil. you could also print out a pattern from a photo online.
3) paint on dark gray color by hand. let dry. touch up any mistakes and let dry again.
4) paint the wood boarder in pure yellow, using a piece of cardboard to keep paint off the cork. let dry.
5) hang up on wall and hang jewelry with pins of your choosing.
*note: if you want more exact edges, you could tape the pattern to make sure your lines are very straight. I didn't do this, as I like the free form and it saved a lot of time.
