I had some photos of my closet back from my NaBloCleanMo project. Here is what the shoe situation looked like up until last week or so:
And here it is today:
I picked up an inexpensive shelf that would fit the existing space, and put the shoe rack on top. Bonus, I can shove the Keds skimmers between the bottom of the shoe rack and the top of the new shelf!
Adding the patent boots caused the ankle boots to no longer fit as neatly under the bottom shelf of my closet organizer, but they can still stay tidy as they are.
And while it looks tight, I do actually have room for future purchases — I don’t really need three pairs of running sneakers that I can’t run in anymore. (Our local running shop recycles them. I will probably keep just one spare pair once I lift the shoe ban to make room for more!)
So for now, things are still under control.
I just don’t want to think about how it’s going to fit when it’s time to rotate out the 20+ pairs of spring/summer shoes hibernating in a box under the bed!
I’m actually intimidated. I own three pairs of shoes. Every winter, the New England weather destroys all my nice shoes. Right now I have black boots, tennis shoes and black flats. Bad, right? I know.
Shoe organization is a total bitch. I keep them in the original boxes. But the space, oh the space!
I am in awe of your shoe collection. (And any time Frank tells me I have too many shoes I’m dragging him to the computer to observe these pictures!)… nice, nice work!
Hey… did you just add the cat to your picture bar thingy at the top? Because I never noticed it before… and now it’s there!
