DIY > Shoe Closet
As always I was inspired by the wonderful Judy Aldridge of Atlantis Home. I had saved a picture that she had posted of her amazing shoe closet. Of course, never ever thinking I would have a shoe closet….I just loved the organization of it all. Then after another frustrating morning in this tiny awkward sized closet in my bedroom, the image of Judy’s shoe closet instantly paralyzed me right into a daydream and then I snapped into DIY mode. I wish I had before pics, but the real problem aside from the limited storage space were my shoes that were stashed everywhere….and I have pics of that…..
one wall.....
along another wall.....
aahhh….After…..
Viola! Inspired by Judy! I don't remember the time I finished, but I remember the house had been asleep and quiet for a few hours.
The ceiling of this closet is pitched. To the right of the shelves is all this great storage for, you guessed it, more shoes! In labeled shoe boxes, no less…I went crazy!!
I discovered I needed just a bit more room so added the bins on top.
What you’ll need…
{ Paint }
{ Shelves from Ikea}
{ Shelf brackets from Ikea}
{ Two kids, to paint…preferrably between the ages of 9 - 11 }
{ and One awesome, awesome friend (thank you Joel!) who’s handy with a drill }
I surfed around and found some other great shoe storage ideas….
this is from Plush Palate...bookshelves! Good idea!
I'm really liking the bookshelf idea. Here's another one from Style/SWOON
Can you imagine?! LOVE! From Domino Magazine via Atlantis Home

I’m a new reader and I loved this post! You can also try to turn one of your shoes around which will allow for a bit more room. I saw in domino that Jenna Lyons does this with her shoes.
