The eagle eyes at Cribcandy directed us to this utterly simple, affordable, and space efficient shoe storage solution anyone can put together after a visit to most any Target, Walmart or KMart.
Felix de Pass Design shoes us the way to reappropriate the common coat rack into a functional sneaker hanger. Not sure we'd have this out visible in our doorway entrance, but inside a closet wall or on the inside door of a closet, and this sure beats some of the unsteady plastic shoe racks we've owned in our time.
Ijust had a D'oh! moment. Great solution to the rising tide of sneakers and boots that has engulfed my house, thanks to my husband and son. Of course, it will still be up to me to put 'em there.... The love of my life still thinks the best place to throw his clothes is on the floor, right next to the clothes hamper.
Interesting idea of making the most of what one already has! Here's what i decided to do for organizing our shoes - http://dressyournest.blogspot.com/search/label/Organization
liz: shhhh...I have the same shameful habit of unruly dirty clothing disposal. It's my one horrible home vice I am trying to improve upon.
CeLee: thanks for sharing your solution. You definitely beautified it with the colour.
