apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Just alot of visual clutter - not elegant in any way.

Put your things in a drawer, and put photos in pictureframes on either place them on a credenza or hang them on the wall properly.

Yuck- hanging your shoes on the wall like that... very inefficient and ugly and smelly. ESPECIALLY when you are displaying your Crocs! Oy.
The cork thing just looks someone sat looking at their bulletin board too long and thought - "what if I figured out a way to use it without the pins" and then made a series of bad decisions after that.

they are cool... it's really funny to me that the guy made something for media, and the lady made something for shoe storage......typically what the genders are (usually) interested in, respectively!

the sole mate seems a good way to get your shoes up at nose level and to get your wall really dirty.

I have three teenage sons; I am a nurse in an ACCU-where there's lots o' bad germs; I can't imagine the dirt and stink that would adorn my walls with the shoe thing-what a pleasant site for visitors!

no no no no no

gross.

Sole mate looks like Spidey's "Landing Strip" (to use a phrase I detest!).

At least I wouldn't be tripping on my shoes when I walk into my very small entry way. But your right, the smell would not be good. The shoes would be way to close to my nose.

excessive. Another overpriced overdesigned product to seduce the masses. Do we really need a sculpted cork board or a plastic web to keep us organized.?

absolutely hideous

Cluttery, plus I keep thinking of the dirt left on the wall for the shoe one.

Eww, looks sloppy and ugly.

enough said!

The sole mate is not an attractive solution, but would be pretty good if you could go to the hardware store and buy a roll of it or get it cut in the size and shape you need for your closet.

I really don't get why that cork links has to look so amorphous, and I guess it doesn't if the pieces were mounted all abutting. I like it a lot better than those criss-cross ribbon boards, and I really hate those, so really I just hate this a lot less than to actually say I like it.

Another thing I just noticed and which hadn't been mentioned is that the sole mate contraption has a bazillion screws holding it up. Turns out it's a student project... these usually need refinement before actual use.

I'm I weird for liking them??????????????????????

in fact, I'm thinking of a way to make the shoe storage thingie for my daughter's closet. and why does everyone complain about smell at nose level? I'm I the only one whose feet don't stink.


LOL

I like the cork, and I normally don't care for those sorts of things. But the shoe thing looks like a student project with no real use.

My feet aren't all that stinky, but the art of the shoe isn't in the innersole. Why show that off?

I like the shoe thing, and I imagine it could be good for several people.
Also my feet don't stink unless I don't wear socks for 12 hours, and my boyfriend has freakishly good smelling feet.
